about the book
Because of the Butterflies:
Poetry Soothing Words for the Real World
Actually, poetry is more a part of our regular lives than we might at first think. The lyrics of songs we enjoy that comfort us in a big way are often composed of poetry. The Psalms-from which we can glean so much spiritual support-and the popular hymns we love to sing are all poetry.
about the book
Because of the Butterflies:
Soothing Words for the Real World
So many monarch butterflies flew in the author’s line of vision back in the summer of 1987, that she felt no alternative but to conclude that Someone was
trying to get her attention. This book is very inspirational, educational, and, to some degree, autobiographical, including portions of the more incredible and relevant parts of her personal story, as well as a passing on of the comfort that God showered on her over the years, that which can help anyone not only survive but thrive even in the most difficult of circumstances.
