Kevin Martin's New Collection of Inspirational Poetry, 'Joshua 1:9,'

Asks Readers to Trade Fear for Bravery

PEMBERVILLE, Ohio, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspiring writer and

poet Kevin C. Martin has released his first collection of poems

entitled Joshua 1:9. Released independently, the collection includes

twenty-one poems on faith, hope, and love with special emphasis on the

struggle between fear and bravery. Written over the past year while

enduring difficult life circumstances, Kevin found inspiration in the

day-to-day experiences he faced as he works to follow his dreams.

"Joshua 1:9 is all about letting go of fear, allowing God to take the

lead, and simply saying 'yes' to being brave," Kevin writes about his

collection. He continues, "The title Joshua 1:9 is named after the

Bible verse which reads, 'Remember that I have commanded you to be

determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the

LORD your God, am with you wherever you go.' Throughout my entire

life, I have been so afraid of following the dreams and passions God

has given me. I have been so afraid to be myself, to be my true self,

yet we are called and commanded to be brave. During all of my

experiences and especially over the past year, I have allowed fear to

control me. I have let go of my bravery in order to sit back and let

fear take over. I am afraid of everything. I am afraid of my future,

my dreams, my goals. I am afraid of myself. Joshua 1:9 is the first

step of faith to becoming brave, the brave that God has called us to

be. We are created to be brave. We must be brave."

Joshua 1:9 is now available for digital download at

www.kevincmartin.org. Half of all proceeds raised by the poetry

collection and all items for sale at Kevin's website will be donated

to help less fortunate populations in urban areas throughout the

United States including Toledo, Chicago, Las Vegas, New York City, and

Washington, D.C. Kevin would like thank his family, friends, and each

and every single individual who has supported his artistic endeavors

for inspiring him and for enabling all to follow their dreams.
