Beauty For Ashes:

This book of poetry expresses the highs and lows of grieving and healing. Mrs. Woods states that she chose her title, Beauty for Ashes, from the Bible,in Isaiah 61:3 "...to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,that he might be glorified." Each has a Bible verse after it that speaks to the theme of the poem. If you are grieving, Crystol prays the words she was given to express her human experience will touch your life and you will know you are not alone.
