Testimonials
Oil & Water is an unexpected treat. When I first received the book, my first pleasant surprise was the cover. It captured the "oil" from my finger tips, leaving my prints! As I began to read, more surprises revealed themselves. I wasn't ready for the many emotions found at each turn of the page. I was drawn in by each recital, as if the words were coming off the page as a suttle song. Get ready for a journey and enjoy the ride!

This book was more than just a book of poetry to me. It is his testimony, a journey I saw myself in. Xandre's realness, authenticity really had me reflect on my life where I was the sinner to where I was the encourager. He structured this so beautifully Water before his baptism, Oil after baptism, and Asterisk while he wrote the book. Asterisk to me is so powerful because after we have dedicated our lives to God, it is an on going process, living each day working on our relationship with God. We are a work in progress!

I like the way the author talked about accepting God and learn how to let go and let God. As a mother, it makes me willing to learn to listen more and talk less. And to walk with my own journey with God to learn the real meaning of forgiveness. And to let declare and decree that God is the true healer . I did not put it down until I was done great read .

"Oil and Water: A Poetry Confessional" is a bold and transparent journey of faith, healing, and self-discovery. With raw vulnerability, Xandre confesses, the weight of lived experiences, offering readers a sacred space to confront their own struggles and find hope. This book is a rare and necessary invitation to witness transformation and healing in its purest form. I am deeply grateful he shared this gift with the world; it will lead to transformational healing for many!!!

There's depth, and then there's the transformative power of getting closer to God. I feel like many people get saved and then distance themselves from their artistry. This is truly a divine merging of being led by the Holy Spirit and expressing the nuance of self. An incredible read.

This is such a refreshing read. The transparency and depth in the pages of this book is beautiful and healing to read. Not only do you get to see the aftermath of locking in with God, you get to see the before as well which gives you a deeper appreciation for the mindset shift, enlightment and healing God brings. Every poem is rhythmic and insightful. The book is a testimonial of God's redepmtion and His ability to completely transform a man.
