Half of the Battle Is To Surrender All I Have by Adrienna 'Deo' Turner
AuthorHouse, June 2008
152 Pages, Paperback, $13.99
ISBN: 1434393062
Genre: Poetry

RAW Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

'There is a battle we all must face and pain we must endure, in order to grow strong'; realities like these are some of the reasons Ms. Turner wanted to share this book.   With rhymes, songs and poems she hopes to encourage and stimulate in a positive way. 

The poem selections are categorized under four major headings, and while each poem has a definitive message, I selected one from each heading that called out to me.  From Love, Romance, Relationships and Compassion I selected Web of Love, from Historical, Real Life Stories I selected Suicide or Homicide, from Comedic I selected Buck Wild, and from Miscellaneous and Hardcore I selected Guilty Before Proven Innocent.
 
HALF OF THE BATTLE IS TO SURRENDER ALL I HAVE is a secular book which hopefully will prove to be a doorway, an opening  to images of humanity.  Turner’s  underlying message is that  she will ultimately  direct someone to the Lord.
