The Rhyme of the Gospels: a Poetic Gospel Journey Warren Bennett

This volume was started in October, 1965, after much prayer and meditation. The idea was then conceived and started with the words, "In the beginning..." At first, this was thought to be the first three words of Genesis, Old Covenant. After further contemplation, I realized it meant the beginning of the New Covenant in Christ - theGospel of John, followed by the three synoptic Gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This truly made much sense, and the words started to flow after reading each verse, praying, meditating and setting it to rhyme. Being moved by the Holy Spirit of my baptism, I set my course to give love and comfort to people living in doubt, in firm, shut-ins, and the blind. This was done by narrating the entire work on to seven, ninety minute cassette tapes, and playing them to these people. Finally after thirty-five years of intermittent writing "The Rhyme of the Gospels" was completed to the degree presented herein.
