Once in love, Twice a fool br Raywer Ambeva

This is not a book that preaches. It bleeds, it confesses, it kneels.

Before the Fall, After the Cross is a pilgrimage of the soul — the journey between the man I was and the grace I met. It is written in the language of the broken, the forgiven, and the still-becoming. These poems were not crafted in comfort; they were born in the tension between guilt and mercy, doubt and faith, sin and salvation. I did not write this as a saint, but as a survivor of my own humanity — a witness to the quiet war between flesh and spirit. Every line is a conversation: between me and my Creator, between man and redemption, between despair and the divine whisper that says, “You are still loved.” This collection is not just poetry; it is testimony. A reminder that redemption does not erase the past — it redeems it. That God does not wait for perfection — He meets us in pieces, and still calls us whole. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith, if you’ve fallen more times than you can count, if you’ve ever questioned your worth in the eyes of heaven — these pages are for you. Come as you are. Lay your burdens between the verses. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find what I found — that the story of grace begins not after the fall, but because of it.
