New book by former Messenger Editor, Patte Wheat LeVan
Humans need connection, and in a digital world, meaningful connections are harder to come by. Accomplished author Patte Wheat LeVan presents a tool for recalibration. If You Know a Song, Sing It is a moving collection of essays first published in the Messenger, the national publication of the Swedenborgian Church of North America, and three memoir pieces published in the Chrysalis Reader, a yearly anthology published by the Swedenborg Foundation. Inspiring hope, healing, spiritual growth and worthwhile experiences with our family, friends and communities, LeVan’s message is both philosophical and funny, illustrating the humorous side of the human condition in all its complexity.
If You Know a Song, Sing It is available for purchase online at Amazon.com.
