Kenyon's Living Poems

Kenyon’s Living Poems is a collection of sacred and secular poems, rhymes, and musings that Dr. E. W. Kenyon (1867–1948) wrote through his life on various subjects.   Born in Saratoga County, New York, Kenyon’s earliest desire was to become an actor, He attended the Emerson School of Oratory in Boston for one year in 1892. But in 1893, after a two-and-a-half-year crisis of faith, Kenyon attended the services of Clarendon Street Baptist Church, led by pastor A. J. Gordon. At this service, Kenyon and his wife, Evva, rededicated their lives to the Lord. Later that year, Kenyon joined the Free Will Baptists and became a pastor at a small church in Elmira, New York.
