This Chicken Soup for the Soul author creatively uses humor and life experiences to exhort and encourage you to spend time with the Lord and listen to His voice (heartbeat). After 36 years of teaching, playing sports, and owning several pets, Linda uses powerful examples of God teaching her His Word. Titles like, "Adopted by a Chicken," "Old Granny Turken - What a Girl ," "You Don't Need Orthotics in Heaven," and "Talking Potato" will pique your curiosity. Linda uses Scripture throughout this 66 devotional book so it not only entertains but it is a teaching tool and makes a great gift. In high school, Linda graduated in the Top Ten and was a member of the National Honor Society. She graduated from Huntington College (now Huntington University) in Indiana in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education and then taught school for 36 years with the last 13 being in juvenile corrections facilities. In 2005 she finished her Master of Arts in Biblical Studies. Linda published the first volume of Listen To HIS Heartbeat in 2011. She also has stories in several other anthologies. The Lord has used Linda in church services, Sunday school, speaking and women's ministries."
