  • "In With Me, Carolyn eloquently expresses the joy, hope, pain, and every emotion in between that we all experience but so often cannot put to words. Comfort is found in realizing God's graciousness and love toward us in each chapter of life - a thread woven throughout Carolyn's poetry."

  • I keep Caroly's book close by. I pick it up every day and in no particular order let the pages fall where they may. What inspirational readings I find. She has a gift of expression that is beautiful to read. I plan to share it with my family.

    Lois from Pennsylvania

  • With Me is written in a beautiful style that evokes a range of emotions while painting lovely imagery for the reader. Carolyn shared pieces of her heart in this book in such a tangible and relatable way!

  • I seldom read “religious poetry.” Most of the time it is simply “treacle” with a rhyme scheme: obvious and simplistic. I find myself in “critic-mode,” unable or unwilling to allow it to work its “magic” on me. Good religious poetry is both personal and painful, as the poet works through their own experience of God. “With Me: A Poetic Expression of God’s Faithfulness,” by Carolyn Staffieri, on the other hand is a powerful, personal exploration of her relationship with God. Her journey with epilepsy is clearly visible on the page, but it is not off-putting. Christians, if they are honest with themselves and God, oftentimes have a painful, “on- again/off again” relationship with God. Carolyn shares with us her faith-filled relationship thus enabling each of us to find ourselves in her words. With Me is a book which will give you hope and strength, too! It is well worth your time!

Meet Carolyn

A more than 30 year battle with epilepsy had stolen plans for my life. God gave back what I thought was lost through this gift of poetry. Epilepsy is only a small fraction of my story. My  faith in God has provided the foundation to rejoice in hope, for whatever path I have been given.
