We live in a world that is hurting, confused, and desperate for answers. In a time of moral drift, spiritual apathy, and personal pain, Words for a Wounded World offers a powerful invitation: return to the Word of God.

In this Spirit-led collection, author and Biblical teacher Mark Richard weaves together sixteen Scripture-inspired poems that speak life into dark places. Each poem is grounded in the timeless truth of God’s Word, accompanied by full biblical references, and deep devotional reflection questions—creating a rich three-part encounter with God’s truth.

These “hymn-like” poems were born in real moments of ministry—written for people facing doubt, anxiety, sickness, and sorrow. Now, they are offered to you—to awaken your soul, convict your heart, and strengthen your faith.
