Author Bio: 

David Bingham grew up in London, England, in a working class home. Although his parents did not go to church regularly they wanted David to attend Sunday School from early childhood. And it was there that David came to a personal faith in Jesus Christ, a direction in life he has never regretted; faith in God, his Good Shepherd, has been the sustaining power of his life. 

David has written poems since he was a boy. His mother loved poetry and passed the same passion to her son, teaching him to learn poems by heart. Many of David’s poems reflect life’s experiences and express a deep gratitude to God. A poem often comes to him as a thought – a still small voice – and when he takes the time to sit down and start writing, inspiration comes and a poem bubbles out like springs of water. Sometimes, however, there have been dry periods when inspiration evades him.
“Seasons of my Life” is David's first poetry book. The four seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – reflect various stages of life with experiences and discoveries that hone and prepare us on our way to maturity. 
David has been living in Sweden for 26 years with his Swedish wife, Maj-Britt, who has been an inspiration for many of his poems. David worked as deacon in the Lutheran Church until retirement three years ago. He still has a passion to help people. 

Synopsis: 

“Seasons of my Life” is my first poetry book. The book contains 24 of my best poems together with 24 carefully selected color pictures that fit the text of each poem.

The book has been growing within me for several years and now finally has become a reality. The idea of the seasons – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter - is used to reflect the different stages of our life's development and our walk with the Lord, from early childhood to old age and beyond, to our eternal destiny as Christians. Thankfulness to God for the beauty of his creation and for His faithfulness in our lives, even in life's crises, are recurrent themes. New glimpses into Bible stories are shared. Almost every poem I have penned has grown our of personal experience in the school of life.

Initial reactions to my book have been very positive and a number of people have said that they have been helped and blessed by my poems and several have asked my permission to use one or more of my poems for a special occasion, to which I readily agree. I hope you too will be blessed by my book and the poems it contains.
