Is there a place called Heaven? by Janet Marie Bingham

book

This is a collection of spiritual poems. It is the life work of Janet Bingham, who has been writing and drawing since she was a little girl. The tone of the poems is conversational and they are always easy to understand. The poems are upliffting, but also truthful. Ms. Bingham has a prophetic gift which enables her to interpret current events in her own special way. She feels that God gave her these poems and it is her responsibility to share them with as many readers as possible. The poems are varied in content, some reflecting her exposure to world literature, especially English poetry, others reflecting the many locations she has visited around her hometown of San Diego, and others are memories of her childhood visits to the back woods of Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Georgia.

Keeper of the Sheepfold:What's Happening to America and Why Keeper of the Sheepfold:

wolf

Have you ever wondered what is happening to America and why? Here is your answer told in an allegory involving sheep and wolves. And we know who the sheep and the wolves are because of the author's clever ability to tell a story, and include art and poetry. By using an allegory we can talk about what's happening without using names and pointing fingers at real people.

The art is in the tradition of the primitives. Simple and very bright, it appeals to all ages, including children. The poetry reveals the voice of a seasoned and experienced writer. The verse has a direct connection to the story.

This unusual take on politics is honest and revealing. The prophetic voice heard here has been verified because some of this was written twenty years ago before we were aware of our problems. And, indeed, we can see the story's themes revealed in the culture around us. Any spiritual person, whether child or adult, can learn fundamental truths about government. The poetry presents an encouraging look at solutions to society's problems. Get it on Amazon

Short Stories

Aunt Polly’s Ghost By Janet Marie Bingham September 21, 1996

Aunt Polly had been dead for three years.  Leaves covered the pathway to her door.  Weeds and grasses overtook her flower garden, boards rotted outside, paint flaked off, windows were broken in and the tattered remains of her blue ruffled curtains flapped briskly in the breeze.
“It was on such a night as this one,” said my brother, Barkley Miller, “that Carter Steele was riding his horse down that dirt road next to her property when he thought he heard Aunt Polly in her kitchen call his name as she used to do when he was little.  He swore to me that the house lit up and that the graveyard, which was not far down that road, released the dead.  His dog yelped home with his tail between his legs faster than Carter did; they both cleared the four-foot rail fence at the same time, with Carter yelling at the top of his lungs, ‘Don’t git me!’   ‘Aunt Polly, don’t git me!’ ”
