This book's title-Heartbeat!-provides imagery for daily and lifelong living with passion for Christ. Physically, you live only because your heart beats twenty-four hours a day, every day, as long as you live. The heart continually pumps blood to all parts of the body and helps the returning blood be cleansed in the lungs and sent out again. Truly, life is in the blood. Physically, God created your heart to beat every moment and throughout your lifespan. Heartbeat!
