About
Carole Schossow was born in Maquoketa, Iowa. Carole was born into a loving, Christian family. Her father, mother, five sisters and three brothers have all preceded her in death.
Although she enjoyed a long career in the banking industry, Carole has enjoyed this mission of writing poetry at this stage of her life as, “icing on the cake”.
The love of her life, Pastor Lyle Schossow, now deceased, is the greatest inspiration for her writings. Lyle’s true commitment and service to God, and her commitment to God, as well, make this journey one of great passion for her.
God has given each of us a mission in life. It may not come until we are much older, as mine has, but I am so thankful to Him for this blessing.
As my late husband would say, “Keep the faith!”
Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.</span></p>
Story Behind The Book
Carole’s poems took a different turn with the passing of her husband and the grief which she personally experienced. As God’s vessel her wish is to share her experience of God’s comforting presence to others who have also lost a loved one, assuring them that His comfort is there for them if they will only turn to Him.
