An Eden area woman has recently published a book entitled The Heart’s Journey. The author, Meredith Froese, wrote the book in hopes that it would bring healing to her own and others’ hearts. “God kept giving me hearts to write on,” Froese explained. She added, “it was a healing process for myself.”

She said the book is geared to the “wounded heart that needs divine healing” and explains different spiritual “heart conditions” that people suffer from. She took 15 “heart conditions”, such as “The Heart That is Numb”, or “The Heart That is Shattered”, and she wrote an essay on each of them. There is a picture illustrating what each “heart condition” might look like, which were all drawn by Froese. 

She started writing the book in January of 2013 and just finished it this March. She had friends and family help her in many ways, such as proofreading, typing out and scanning the illustrations and helping her send the manuscript to a publisher. 

Her book is available at the Neepawa Banner and Neepawa Press Office, 243 Hamilton Street. 

Froese is also working on a second book, which will focus on describing bible verses with pictures for those who are illiterate.
