This is a beautiful collection of poetry from a very inspirational young man—Mattie Stepanek. Mattie suffered from a rare form of muscular dystrophy called dysautonomic mitochondrial myopathy. However, despite his suffering, Mattie was able to find constant joy in the most simplest of things. That is what his poetry in Journey Through Heartsongs is all about—having faith and spreading love (your “heartsongs”) to one another so that we can create a better world.
Some of the titles of his poems are: “Peace of Patience,” “Believing for the Journey,” “Touch of Heaven,” “Sunset,” and “Eternal Echoes.” Mattie truly was a special young man, and these poems are sure to inspire all those who read them!
