Product Description
Product Description
Are you a God-Buff? Or does the topic of religion give you the "HeBGB's?" Either way, you'll find inspiration in Heart Murmurs by Joan Butman. A series of essays that began as testimonies given by Joan at her Bible Study group, Heart Murmurs celebrates everyday spirituality by exploring topics such as forgiveness, worry, plastic surgery, and putting up the Christmas lights. Avoiding the "in your face" approach to Christianity, Joan uses humor and a hefty dose of humility in her reflections on Scripture: ".I'd like to sign up for liposuction of the heart to suck out all of the pride, anger, resentment, jealousies, and grievances I keep harbored there.then follow it up with a Botox injection to infuse me with the fruits of the spirit: 'love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control' (Galations 5:22-23). Now that's my idea of reconstructive surgery." Whether you're a God-Buff, a Bible Babe, or anyone whose heart could use a lift, Heart Murmurs will bring a smile to your face and warmth to your soul.
About the Author

Food for thought.......
11 July 2006
Format:Paperback
I happen to know and admire Joan already and her book just reinforced what I already know about her wonderful character. As a wife, mother and denizen of the same Connecticut town I know exactly of what she speaks when she writes about all the pressures we face on a day to day basis. I received the book in the mail yesterday and read it cover to cover. I couldn't stop thinking about it and will be rereading it today. For me, finding God in my everyday life is a journey that I have just started. I'm glad she is along for the ride.

Joan Butman tells us how Christ reveals himself in her everyday life! He is real to her and she makes Him real to us. Thank you Joan.
