Author Biography

My name is Barbara Lennon and I am a native of North Carolina and currently reside in Raleigh, North Carolina with my husband and children. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology with a Concentration in Christian Counseling from Liberty University and a Paralegal Certificate from Duke University. I enjoy helping and serving others and participate in a variety of activities in my community and church. I feel a part of my purpose in life is to lend my voice through writing, speaking, and teaching opportunities to encourage, uplift, and inspire others in their journey through life. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, reading, writing, walking and riding my bike. One of favorite places to go is the beach to relax and enjoy the beauty and vastness of God’s creation.

Reviewed by Divine Zape for Readers' Favorite

Atmospheric, spiritual, and discerningly human, Psalms from the Heart by Barbara Lennon is a splendid collection of poems that capture the outpouring of the soul, the different seasons of her life, the joy and the pain of her humanity, and her ultimate hope. In this collection, the reader is pulled into a powerful wave, music that rises to God. One will find prayers, and candid expressions of a gentle soul to God. They will also find poems that celebrate communion with nature. Other poems showcase the values of love and compassion, of human intercourse, and the beauty of being human.

Barbara Lennon’s poetry celebrates life and compels the reader to develop a sacred consciousness about its different seasons. The lines are simply woven, each pregnant with meaning, each as compelling as the next. Psalms from the Heart has a form of its own, unique and freely flowing from the depths of the persona. The spiritual depth of these poems captured my heart and, as I went through them, I noticed that each had a life of its own — a prayer here, a word of hope there; a gentle sigh here, a sense of awe there; an inspiring memory here, an optimistic look into the future. The simplicity of the language makes the poems very accessible and the symbolism that is written into them is among the interesting elements that readers will appreciate. Here is a collection for readers who are looking for lines that are uplifting and sweet, the kind of poems that communicate life, love, and hope. There is a soothing feel in the poet’s ebullient voice.
