Of Butterfly Kisses and Whispers from God

By J. C. Johnson

During periods of chaos, we anxiously wait to hear from God. When He speaks, His voice can be as loud as thunder as it shatters through the sky. Other times, He whispers, and His voice is as delicate as a tiny dew-drop falling in midair—so delicate, it is like being kissed by the fl utter of a butterfly’s wings.

J. C. Johnson’s Of Butterfly Kisses and Whispers from God is a collection of inspirational poems. It seeks to encourage, enlighten, and empower the heart and soul of people who yearn to hear the voice of God and to bring inspiration and hope to those facing hopeless and discouraging situations, reassuring them, that amid the turmoil in their lives, God is still in control.
