William Owens witnessed this and was moved to write a poem on September 14, 2016, entitled “America In Trouble.” He then followed with “Prayer as an American.” The poems continued to flow. He, therefore, committed to writing a poem every day until the elections.

A collection of poems written during the contemplative times when William stood before God. During these sacred moments, he unashamedly bares his heart before God and exposes himself to God’s unfathomable grace, love, and understanding. These words capture that moment.

Astonished! is about allowing God to “experience you” through your journey of faith. Whether through a bike trek across America, a devastating illness, the building of a company, a struggling relationship with your children, or divorce, astonishing God happens when we pull back the veils of our hearts and allow God in—more and more.

This book aims to point you to the power of God’s Word within you. If you do not have God’s governing authority working through you to bring about His will on the earth, any hope you possess will be quickly swept away by this forthcoming conflict.
