B. John Miller, a Christian contemplator, triple degree holder from Louisiana State University, and perpetual student of life, has completed his new audiobook "When Hearts Rise And Fall": a ponderous, reflective poetry book.
Miller shares, "The title reflects many nights that I had to slow down and evaluate things. I was affected by the flood of 2016 in Louisiana. When a life experience of dramatic proportion hits you, just like in baseball, you take first base. Once you get there, you have to evaluate if you're staying put, or will you steal a base or two? Everyone's objective in life is to make it home one way or another. Me? I am taking second base and going for more."
Published by Audiobook Network, author B. John Miller's new audiobook is a stirring portrait of a soul strained through the trying mesh of life's realities, only to come out the other side refined and wiser.
Miller writes with a nuanced tenderness that demonstrates a robust yet gentle spirit of perseverance, living proof that what doesn't kill makes one stronger. Remembering that, in tragedy, one's life experience peels back the layers of you that reveal the better and truest part of yourself.
Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of "When Hearts Rise And Fall" by B. John Miller through Audible, the Apple iTunes Store, or Amazon.
