Nicole Yurcaba of the US Review of Books highly commended “My Heavenly Father’s Heart” by Corinne McCoy, acknowledging that “this graceful poetry collection offers much-needed light during dark and tumultuous times that challenge readers’ lives and their faith. A positive outlook permeates the book, and readers leave its pages comforted by a sense of peace. The author’s personal notes throughout the collection provide a deeper meaning to the work by inviting readers into McCoy’s personal life. This, too, acts as an important bridge that grants readers access to the poems. The book incorporates a variety of scriptures throughout its pages, and many readers may use these as guideposts to form a daily routine of spiritual reflection. This collection is a good fit for poetry lovers wanting to return to more traditional forms. And for those seeking to brighten their reading lists with more positive works, McCoy’s book is a must.”

“My Heavenly Father’s Heart” is deeply influenced by the Bible. The book discusses creation as well as the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It expresses God’s care and love for us, as well as His desire for intimacy and for us to join Him in heaven.
The poems describe nature and how it all glorifies God. They describe what the end of time will be like. Moreover, they offer a glimpse of what paradise and the newly formed earth will be like.
