you only live twice
In a world of enduring winter, You Only Live Twice is a hope-filled signpost for spring’s birth—a collection of forty-nine Easter-Advent poems. They are calls to courage in the lingering cold, knowing in hope like the early-blooming crocus, that spring came before, and it will come again. This anthology declares the truth that two millennia ago, a Man died on a mission of grace for the sinner then rose again on Easter; thus Jesus lived twice. On a future day when He returns as the resurrection and the life, so shall His children live again.
They’re poems of winter and spring, of hope and courage, of a Kingdom to come that’s certain and bright.
For the soul banking its future on that Messiah King, these are a poetic invitation to embrace the truth of Easter—that there is a forever life of far more value than these current, uncertain days. In Jesus, we’ll get to live it.
For the follower of Jesus, Good Friday yielded Easter. Winter always yields spring. And death will yield life. So, like the deep-red growth of spring roses on brittle, dead branches, dare to believe your resurrected King.
Because of Jesus’ victory on Easter, one can live twice.

About the author
Hosanna Emily
7 books65 followersBecause of the grace of God, Hosanna Emily is a warrior poet: a warrior because God is her Father (which makes her a crazy-in-love princess) and she lives fighting to be faithful for the day Jesus’ Kingdom will come and a poet because she loves beautiful, truth-filled words. Thus, she fills her journal with poetry, her blog with urges to live for Jesus, and then writes books on top of that—from fantasy to middle grade and more—stories to inspire radical living for the coming King who is worthy.
On a normal day, you may find her homemaking on the family farm, going on long walks, singing worship, cooking healthy food, playing Frisbee, randomly dancing the Virginia Reel, dreaming of Jesus’ coming Kingdom, and enjoying life with her family of more than a dozen amazing people and her Church family of even more.

Fresh nature imagery, indefatigable hope, and a sweet, sweet love and desire for Christ and His coming kingdom. It’s a refreshing reminder of truth, and it makes me want to want Jesus more.🫶🏼
