LONGWOOD, FL-Sitting on an airplane headed for Minnesota to spend Mother’s Day with her mom, author Peggy L. Headlund was given the gift of poetry, writing, music, and lyrics by God. When the words just started pouring out at all hours of the day and night, the awestruck author began combining her newfound talent with the teachings of the Holy Spirit. The result? A collection of inspirational bite-sized messages that probe, praise, and observe life through the Bible. The Spirit Moves ($14.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-157-2; $24.99, hardcover, 978-1-60477-158-9) deals with worship, everyday happenings, frustrations, struggles with sin, life and death, and life beyond death.
“This book will make the reader think and open their eyes to the people around them,” says Headlund. “It reveals the vulnerability of the human spirit, everyone’s need for love, the overwhelming desire to praise our Maker, and everyone’s need to grow in faith, no matter the stage in their Christian walk.”
The author of more than 500 motivational and technical books and seminars for businesses, Headlund has also spent many years studying God’s Word. It was through prayer that she discovered the enormity of God’s love. She hopes the messages in her book will prompt readers to call upon His grace each moment of every day and experience the vastness of that love for themselves.
Peggy L. Headlund grew up on a dairy farm in Minnesota. She studied music and business in college and then moved to California to marry her husband, Don. They now have a music ministry called Pure Joy Musical Ensemble.
