Reviews

""David Jennings sees what most of us miss--and then hands it back to us with reverence and wonder. Dreams Like Mine invites us to slow down, feel deeply, and remember what it means to be human. It's not just a book--it's a prayer in pictures and poetry."" --Matt Knisely, author of Framing Faith ""David Jennings calls us to stop and notice the small, poignant moments that we so often miss. Whether it's a walk in the snow, a single leaf, or the dismantling of a backyard swing set, he captures each scene with clarity and honesty. Dreams Like Mine is a celebration of a life well lived. Readers from all walks of life will resonate with this heartfelt work."" --Maria Polson Veres, author of Church People ""David Jennings masterfully combines his photography talent and gift for prose to breathe depth into his images, creating something new. Each picture is unique, and each poem is wonderful. I found myself missing my daughter at times, fearing the passage of time, and sad to see snow melt. David's ability to create an emotional connection through his work easily makes Dreams Like Mine the best book of poems I have ever read."" --Marcus Abshire, author of Pale Rain
