What are "Captured Storms?" They are electric passions stirred by God. They are heart's cries from a broken person to a broken world. They are the result of those rare times when we finally - FINALLY - shut up long enough for us to hear God speak... when the cacophony of life can no longer drown out the Holy Spirit's beautiful melody of truth.
Captured Storms are also autobiographical snapshots of where I've been. Some of the verse contained here reveal the joys and trials in those years long ago right after I became a Christian. And still others are simply explorations. Some of them are rough and raw; others more polished and purposeful. You'll find free verse and rhyme. You'll find some that seem destined to find music and become a song. And then others that would be utterly ruined by the intrusion of notes.
How should you use Captured Storms? It is a devotional, but not in the traditional sense. There are no study questions. There's no small group guide. My hope is that you might read with a willingness to let God have His way with you. Perhaps a word or phrase will prompt you to capture your own storms: be honest with the pain, the struggle, the despair - see the darkness for what it is, and then let the blazing Love of Christ kindle a new fire in your heart.
-Never alone.
Wayne Thomas Batson, 2012
