• When God Speaks
  
  "Pastor and poet-laureate Greg Asimakoupoulos’ latest collection of poems sets its creative scope on the voice of God in daily life. Threaded throughout by images of C.S. Lewis’ beloved Aslan, Asimakoupoulos guides us on a safari of Godwinks, pointing out His quiet breath in the rustling of the ordinary, bowing before the divine roars in the disguised majesty of the everyday. Playful, earnest, observant, the poems lead the willing reader toward devotion, a slow prowl toward prayer, stalking elusive glory in the middle of our most elusive routines." -Jeff Reed, Pastor, Highland Covenant Church, Bellevue, WA (2021)

• Sheltering in Grace
  
  Greg Asimakoupoulos has served as chaplain at Covenant Living at the Shores for nearly a decade. During this time he has blessed residents and staff with his poetry, music, Bible teaching, photos and humor. Greg has provided much needed hope and support to residents and staff through the uncertain days of the coronavirus pandemic. "Sheltering in Grace" is a creative blending of COVID memories and reflections that will provide strength and encouragement for years to come. Terri Cunliffe President, Covenant Living Communities and Services (2020)

• Finding God in It's a Wonderful Life
  
  The film classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” named the most inspirational American film ever produced, has entertained and inspired millions of viewers since its release in 1946. In fact, many families make watching this story of George Bailey an annual, Christmas tradition.
  
  The film was not made as a religious piece at all, but, as pastor and author Greg Asimakoupoulos asserts and proves, we can see God at work in every scene. And he shows us how, in chapters such as “Broken Banister Knobs,” “Learning to Dance with Adversity,” “Suffering When It’s Not Your Fault,” and so much more. (2012)

• Sunday Rhymes & Reasons: Inspirational poems for pastors, leaders and other imperfect saints

  A compilation of inspirational poetry by America's pastor/poet laureate, Greg Asimakoupoulos. In this volume of poetry, Pastor Greg paints word pictures that portray both the struggle and fulfillment that define a life of faith. His repertoire of rhymes celebrate rite-of-passage occasions like birth, baptism, marriage and death as well as the major holidays of the church and culture. It is a volume that illustrates the poet's love of words and of popular culture. The author dips his brush into a paint box of hubris, humor and honesty. (2009)

• Rhymes & Reasons

  A compliation of prose and poetry aimed at drawing life lessons from current events and special occasions. The author views his efforts as word pictures that stimulate reflection much like political cartoons. These "poetical cartoons" originally appeared in the Partial Observer website. (2008)
