Birthed, Rebirthed, and Born by Joseph Michael Shucraft is a brilliantly crafted series of poetry around Jesus Christ and His endless love for His creation. The messages behind this book will fill your heart with warmth and leave you wanting more. Shucraft’s old English writing style gives this book more personality in the messages being delivered. The passages were well constructed with a clear direction toward the subject matter. I really liked how Shucraft has broken down the poetry into various distinct parts, that when combined, create a very well-balanced picture of God’s love for us. Each poem spans no more than a page long and is kept short and sweet with a strong message in between. I would definitely recommend this book for those who are searching for God’s love, as you will surely find it written within these lines.

Birthed, Rebirthed, and Born by Joseph Michael Shucraft is a unique look at Christian poetry. You get the feeling that you are on a journey with him and that you are following him as he is finding God. The poems are deep and not in a traditional style which might make it difficult to follow, but it is worth taking a look. The poem “You Are” was a very touching poem. “New Day” was one that stood out for its line “I feel less broken and I am okay.” That would resonate with any believer, new or reborn. It has very stunning moments, and some are very complex, but it is never a dull read. You might not understand it at first but give his words time in your heart and you will see what he means.

Birthed, Rebirthed, and Born: Turned Around Again by Joseph Michael Shucraft was not an easy read, in all honesty. You had to let the poems take their time with you but in the end, the message came through. The poem “Forgiveness” was stunning and swept me off my feet with how true the words are. However, I do not believe that this is a book for new believers; they might find it a bit confusing. You almost have to reread the book to fully grasp what he is trying to say. I was moved by some poems and others had no effect, and that left me wanting. Deep, profound, complex and so much more than regular poetry, it is art from the heart. Inspired by The Spirit and gifted to us.
