Beginnings continues Ann Wright's spiritual journey started in her first two poetry books. Beginnings contains verse related to creation and the Ten Commandments. It is not always easy to relate our modern lives to passages in the Bible; yet their stories are an inspiration - and a warning. Ann invites the readers to share her quest for understanding faith and God's love for humanity.
