    About this ebook

    Beth Robbins Bontrager has creatively designed this book for use in gently opening conversations
    between family members about a very difficult and emotional subject.
    In a world where we find families texting each other while in the same room, Butterfly Hugs is a story
    reminding us that there are times when a heart connection is the most valuable and meaningful way
    to communicate.
    A garden where one can see nature in its simple beauty is the setting.
    The direct, yet gentle truths that are shared from one heart to another with the loving, tender touch of
    human compassion and concern is the subconscious focus of the story.
    Technology can send information from one person to another, yet it is the human factor that God
    designed which communicates the true messages of life.
    Butterfly Hugs is a powerful yet simple story about a Grandmother taking the time to share a Legacy
    Lesson of her Faithwith loveto her granddaughter.
    The Authors passion is to write with His Purpose In Mind by writing stories that deal with difficult
    subjects so be watching for future books by Beth Robbins Bontrager.

    Author

    Beth Robbins Bontrager

    Beth Robbins Bontrager, originally from Marion, IN, moved to Goshen Indiana after marrying Marvin Bontrager in 1975. She is the mother of two children, both now married, Matt (Alison) and Kelly (Andrew) and the grandmother of two granddaughters: Haley and Nicole. As a Mother and Junior Church Teacher, Beth has been in tune with the hearts of children for many years. Now, as a Grandmother, her passion to share “Legacy Lessons” which she has acquired in her lifetime, with children of all ages has surfaced in her first book “Butterfly Hugs”. Throughout her “Stories from a Grandmother’s Heart”, Beth uses direct and indirect insights from God’s Word because she feels that in our ever changing world, it is God’s unchanging Truth that can give children as well as adults, stability, encouragement and the renewed hope to live life to its fullest.
