Let Us Begin - Paperback

Let Us Begin is a powerful and intimate collection of poetry that explores the raw terrain of loss, healing, and quiet faith. Told in five reflective stages-Lost, Seeking, Found, Resolve, and Become-this collection serves as a companion for those walking through personal struggle, emotional exhaustion, or spiritual uncertainty. It does not offer cliché answers or easy resolution. Instead, it holds space for the questions, the stillness, and the sacred ache of becoming whole.

David Yancey writes with unflinching honesty and a deep sense of empathy. His poems speak to grief, identity, resilience, and the lifelong process of finding meaning after pain. With language that is both lyrical and accessible, Let Us Begin invites readers into a dialogue with their own journey. It recognizes that growth rarely happens all at once-and that faith, when it comes, often arrives in a whisper, not a roar.

This collection is for the ones who have felt unseen or unloved. For those trying to hold it together while quietly falling apart. For anyone who has struggled with self-worth, distanced themselves from God, or carried the invisible weight of appearing "okay"-this book offers more than reflection. It offers a way forward. You are not alone. Let us begin.
