This is the final collection of Mattie J.T. Stepanek's Heartsongs-the New York Times best -selling series. Culled from the thousands of poems, essays, and journal entries Mattie left behind, this book creates a portrait of Mattie in his own words. In these poems he explores disability, despair, and death but also the gifts he found in nature, prayer, peace, and his belief in something "bigger and better than here and now." 221 pages.
