George “Modavador g” Salter, Rhyme 2 Reason, Founder Poetry in Motion: Picture this, God is on Time, is Modavador g’s most recent literary work. It is his testimony, shared for this purpose: that the world might seek and know God through faith in Jesus Christ. For in Him, we live, we move, we exist. This is how George found his story in God’s Story. Modavador encourages his audience to come along on this poetic journey to find their story in God’s Story. In his work God’s Story- It All Good in the Hood, Modavador weaves artistic rhyme with the Word of God giving a creative, accurate, and fun panorama of the Bible.
