For parents raising children in the faith

Taste . . .

My child, have you tasted Him yet, and experienced His love? It's unique and our dream for you! It's not just stories you read, it's your story, you own. Once tasted, you're spoiled for the world's ordinary! Discover Him for yourself, knowing about Him isn't enough! He's your shepherd and friend guiding you through life. Taste and experience The Lord Is Good!

Lloyd Portman  ·  after Psalm 34:8

It's not just the stories they read — it's the faith they make their own.

Each week you will receive a short faith-based poem, with a reflection, three questions, and a verse to meditate on — each one relating to the theme of the poem. This is my gift to all people, and especially to parents who long for their children to taste God for themselves . . . not simply conform to a faith they inherited. It's free. One email, once a week, in your inbox.

From readers

“I typically don't enjoy poetry — but not Lloyd's. His poems are the most heartfelt, loving, caring poems I have ever read. Every time, they bring me to tears as I realize how much they touch my heart.”

Kelly Woodhouse Falardeau

“Each poem speaks to me. I feel as if it's a personal message from God — a balm to a weary soul, words that uplift and bring healing.”

Shonda Czeschin Fischer  ·  Author

“He not only writes a thoughtful poem — each one is followed by a purposeful reflection and questions that draw you into deep reflection, and real spiritual growth.”

Melissa

“As a lifelong lover of poetry, I know how a few lines can say more than several paragraphs. Lloyd has an incredible ability to challenge, inspire, question, and reach deep inside his readers. I can think of no one better to connect with than Lloyd Portman.”

David Lee Martin  ·  Author & Poet

“There is often an unexpected depth to his work. I find a quiet place and treat the poem as an opportunity to hear if God has highlighted something in it for me. My life is richer because of it.”

Simon Kramer

“Lloyd has an acute awareness of human nature. Through his poems he zeroes in on a train of thought and clears away the cobwebs, so the reader can see the straight path ahead.”

Mary  ·  his proofreader

The world works hard to draw our children away from their faith once they leave home. Help them taste and experience God for themselves, with confidence.
