Have you discovered that walking with Christ is not always easy? Have you found that even when seeking to follow God¿s path, you need encouragement along life¿s journey? A Tugging of the Heartstrings: A Spiritual Journey is a collection of poems that moves beyond happy platitudes to both comfort you and challenge you to examine the true attitudes of your heart. You will find each poem accompanied by a Scripture reference that will remind you that others have walked where you are walking. ¿Laurita McKercher draws us into her life with God in A Tugging of the Heart Strings. Her journey is one that seeks to lift up everyone in her words of praise and thanks to a God who saves and is consistently walking with her. Read these words for encouragement and delight, for hope in the same Lord she delights in. Your `heart strings¿ will be warmed with her gracious spirit and heart.¿ ¿Michael Hagan, PhD, president of Sioux Falls Seminary
