Veteran Author Releases Book of Inspirational Poems

(PRWEB) March 28, 2008 -- After veteran author Peggy Headlund's first book, The Spirit Moves, went to the publisher, something inside her changed. The degree to which she understood God's Word was opened up to her more and she was given more insight into the Bible's passages so she could put them to use in her everyday life. In the follow-up to her first literary endeavor, The Spirit Guides ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-737-6; $24.99, hardcover, 978-1-60477-738-3), Headlund introduces six God-motivated authors with wonderful, inspirational poems that give insight into our everyday circumstances and describe how to get through these times with faith. Great as a daily devotional, a Bible study, or a motivational seminar, The Spirit Guides is a special, melodic story that is both memorable and easy to understand.

Says Headlund, "It is an example of the unstoppable outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which causes people to do a '180' by convicting us, encouraging us, teaching us, protecting us, praying for us, helping us to worship, helping us to believe, giving us a confident peace, pleading our case for us, guarding our words, helping us to learn the truth about Jesus, helping us to know we are loved, and keeping us from being too much a part of the world. The Holy Spirit is for us. God's plan for us is perfect."

In addition to writing books, the author is committed to the Pure Joy Music Ministry, whose goal is to make original music available for Christian artists to perform and record, as well as to mix and master demo CDs for Christian artists. Besides arranging and composing music, Headlund plays multiple instruments. She hopes that through her writing and music, God will allow her to create work that is worthy of worshiping Him, and that people will love to sing and read as part of their daily worship.
