About The Author
Douglas John Mursu
Douglas John Mursu is the author of Inspirational Originals — The Poems of Douglas John Mursu, a poetry collection born from more than twenty years of physical adversity and a deep Christian faith.
As Douglas shares in his own words, it was through great hardship that he discovered his gift for writing and rhyme — a gift he sees as evidence of God’s grace transforming difficulty into purpose. Much of his poetry took shape during long periods confined to a wheelchair, written with what he describes as clear direction from the Holy Spirit, often starting from nothing more than a phrase or a passing notion.

The Power of Faith and Trust
Every poem in this collection began the same way: with nothing more than a phrase, a notion, and a trust that the Holy Spirit would carry it the rest of the way. This is what that process taught me about faith.
