Check out Roger's new book, Applewood Street.
It's available at PlanB Press.
Here is the review I wrote for him:
Roger Barbee is a faithful contributor to EncouragingU.com. He is an excellent writer who tackles a variety of subjects with sensitivity and integrity. In his book, Applewood Street, he shares a beautiful collection of poetry. Each selection will touch your heart as he shares stories of growing up in difficult economic times. Roger reflects on the preciousness of life through the trying times. I encourage you to pick this book up and savior the faith and hope in every word.
