Listing of Linda's Books:

The Listen To HIS Heartbeat Trilogy (I am writing #3 now) make great gifts. Do you need a present for a birthday, graduation, anniversary, wedding, Christmas or to take to a friend in the hospital or nursing home? Give them a copy of these books. The humor with make them smile and the scripture and message will bless and teach them. You will find stories about: animals, home repairs, sports, family, teaching, driver's education, children, cars, neighbors, Bible stories, healing, salvation, and God speaking to His children. These devotion books will be enjoyed by both men and women. 

How are these devotion books different from all the rest?

Many devotionals are too serious and don't show that God has a good sense of humor and wants our fellowship. Or they are funny but don't include very much of what the Bible says, and so they aren't much of a teaching tool. My Listen To HIS Heartbeat Devotion Books, have a lot of scripture and teaches what the Bible says with a nice mix of humor. 

Many times in my life as a teacher, athlete, coach, friend or with family, I saw the benefits of humor to lighten a mood or bring happiness to someone going through a difficult situation. The Lord has brought so much joy to me through His "one-liners" and sharing with me the answers and encouragement I need. 

Listen To HIS Heartbeat Devotion Books are dedicated to teaching the message that God created people to fellowship with Him moment by moment and He loves us! The Plan of Salvation and How to get saved is in all of my devotion books.

Chicken Soup for the Soul selected my story "Talking Potato" in their "Living with Alzheimer's & Other Dementias" book in 2014. This book sold out in 3 weeks and they had to go to a second printing right away! It's an excellent book to encourage Caregivers and the family members of people struggling with any form of Dementia. These are all true stories which include many great ideas which will help both the caregiver and the person with the dementia. One of the 11 sections in the book is called, "What Does It Feel Like?" and has stories written by people with dementia. The other sections in this 349 page book are: "Accepting a New Reality", "Strategies and Tips for Coping", "Next Steps and Tough Choices", "Taking the Journey with Your Parent", "Younger-Onset Alzheimer's", "In Sickness and In Health", "The Lighter Side", "New Ways to Make Connections", "It Takes a Village" and "The Special Bond with Grandchildren".

"Celebrating Christmas with...Memories, Poetry, and Good Food" published in 2011 with my story, "Lost Tradition". It is about my mother who baked "tons" of cookies at Christmas. Mom had stacks of cookbooks from which she selected the recipes which she used. One Christmas she sat for 20 days and hand copied 197 pages of her favorites on notebook paper and indexed them in a notebook and gave a copy of "her cookbook" to my sister and me. It wasn't until we read the cake section that we found her true gift to us. Read "Lost Tradition" and find out what she left her daughters. 

I also included her cookie recipe, "Santa's Whiskers". (The whiskers are made with coconut!) 

This anathology about Christmas has 100+ authors, 300+ pages, 9 catagories of stories, and 50+ recipes.
