Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poems is inspired by a man desiring to redirect his heart towards God. While alluding to adulthood’s different phases, these poems seek to expose the perils of folly and honor the value of wisdom. It is an assortment of personal realizations, expressions of love, and tributes to people who have personally impacted the writer. The title, Heart of Sword, Shield & Crown reflects a man’s call to spiritual arms. It symbolizes the multiple parts of the male persona when bearing traits analogous with those of kings, warriors, lovers, and friends, while equally highlighting the inverse effects of each component of masculinity. Woven throughout the pages is a thread that ties together the idea that manhood is reflected in multiple qualities and is overarched by a Christian worldview.
