On April 18th, I had the opportunity to meet Darryl Turner at the Indiana state chapter meeting of American Christian Fiction Writers. It was a busy day, so I only had a few minutes to speak with him. That small amount of time was enough to recognize him as a man of God with the spirit of Jesus.Darryl was kind enough to give me a copy of a book of his poetry. Wow! It was powerful. In The Soul Shaken and Stirred, Darryl A Turner, uses a variety of writing styles to address the spiritual condition of the human soul. His poetry reflects keen observation and spiritual insight into daily circumstances that can produce both praise and pain. I found the writing style of the book enjoyable and the content of the book thought provoking.
It had actually been a long time since I sat down to read a book of poetry other than the humorous poetry that I read with my children. Darryl’s words reminded me of the power that poetry can have on the human soul. I was so touched by the poetry in this book that I intend to begin to read more poetry. I highly recommend this book.
Darryl A. Turner, MA is a staff psychotherapist at The Family Institute. He is a graduate of the Northwestern University Counseling Psychology Master’s Degree Program.
