Synopsis:
The Great Commission is found in Matthew 28: 18-20:
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV)
This command was mandated not only to the disciples of biblical times, but all who have received the salvation of the Lord. We have this obligation to spread the Good News of the Gospel wherever we go. In his offering here, The ABC’s of the Gospel: Using the Alphabet to Fulfill the Great Commission, Michael Lee Womack, through his unique, freestyle poetry, uses each letter of the alphabet to break down each element vital to carry out our Christian duty to spread the Gospel, and make disciples wherever we go. Womack has given readers a blueprint of this command from Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior, that is understandable to all age groups.
The ABC’s of the Gospel: Using the Alphabet to Fulfill the Great Commission is an excellent tool for Bible studies, Sunday School lessons, or any individual who seeks to have clarity in how to witness for Christ, and be better “fishers of men” for the edification of God's Kingdom.
Reviews:
"Womack's poems describe the Gospel and Christian life in an easy-to-understand manner. The light and life of Jesus shine through in his poems. These poems are a wonderful reminder of the love of Jesus and the power we have through the Holy Spirit to live a faith-filled life.
These poems can be enjoyed by children and adults". - Author, Barbara M. Britton. To learn more about her, please visit her website: barbarambritton.com
"The ABC’s of the Gospel is a poetry collection based on Christian themes and on the alphabet (“A is for… B is for…). Womack's poems are full of Biblical wisdom (and Bible verses!) and real-world struggles and God's truths.
Womack’s poetry is loose, rarely holding to structure, but it’s not completely free verse, either. There are bits of rhyming schemes, some expected as poems develop, some surprising at just the right pivotal moment. I loved that aspect.
I also appreciated that Womack uses everyday language. His poems are easy to read and easy to go back and study for deeper meanings. In that respect, I think anyone from middle grade to middle age will enjoy this collection.
Several poems stood out for me, but my absolute favorite was “N is for New” because it’s full of joy over the believer’s new life in Jesus.
A good poetry collection is a treasure. Thank you, Michael Lee Womack". - Book Blogger, Priscilla Bettis. To learn more about her, please visit her website: thewellreadfish.com

Synopsis:
In 'From Gloom to Glory', Womack pours hope, faith and light into some of the darkest valleys we'll ever walk through. Using his own testimony, with suicide and depression as a reference point, the author structures the book into three parts: daily reminders that lift our spirits, a beacon call to not give up, and a positive note that brightens the gloomy clouds that sometimes hover over life. With 50 poems each centered on the theme of hope and faith against the odds, this is a book of inspiration that speaks to the soul of the reader, and a perfect gift for yourself or someone you love who is dealing with darkness or passing through a valley experience. God turns gloom into glory.
Synopsis:
As soldiers who have just returned from war, we fight a separate war daily in an attempt to leave the war behind. Many soldiers, just like myself, come home from war only to fight a separate internal battle, with debilitating illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. It was important for me to share my story not only for myself but for those who have fought, for those who have fallen, and for those who continue to wage war in order for the United States of America to continue to remain free. The price of freedom is not free.
War is chaos, and many soldiers bear the scars from it for the rest of our lives.
