Book Review – Unleashing the Power Within: A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Poetryby Lisa McCarthy Reviewed by Realistic Poetry International
Faith at the Center
What makes this collection especially moving is how McCarthy brings her faith to the forefront. Her relationship with God isn’t just a subtle undercurrent—it’s central to her message and the foundation of her healing. We admire how openly and sincerely she brings spiritual truth into her writing, blending life lessons with heartfelt expressions of belief.
She writes about God as a presence in her daily life—a constant source of guidance, reassurance, and strength. In "Finding Self-Worth in God" (pg. 76), she shares a perspective that feels deeply personal but universally comforting: that we all have value and purpose, even when life has tried to convince us otherwise.
Her approach to faith is gentle but grounded, offering encouragement without preaching. Whether or not you share her beliefs, it’s hard not to be moved by her conviction and grace.

One poem that truly inspires me is "Walking Through the Storm with God." What strikes me most is the reassurance that, no matter how overwhelming the storm may seem, there is always a promise of survival and growth through Him. When I reflect on the words, I feel encouraged to remember that I can emerge stronger from my trials by leaning on God's unwavering presence. In my moments of doubt, when I question why I face certain challenges, I find comfort in the understanding that it’s perfectly okay to feel lost. It reassures me that I can cry out to God, just as I do in my deepest struggles. This poem reminds me that my faith can guide me through the darkest of times and that He is always with me, holding my hand and leading me toward the light. The message of perseverance and trust in God's plan ignites hope in my heart, inspiring me to face my storms with courage and a steadfast belief that brighter days are always ahead.
