Miss America 1995 Heather Whitestone McCallum just released her fourth book entitled "Heavenly Crowns: Striving for a Godly Life in the Midst of Daily Struggles". A book on crowns--the Christian's reward for faithful service--this book will comfort, challenge, and inspire Christian women to live lives worthy of the One whose name they carry into the world. Heather said "Though I've come to see the Miss America crown as a special blessing of God, today I am more interested in the crowns God has in store for those who love and follow him. This book is a celebration of the rewards of living for Christ and a call to become more Christ-like in the choices we make in this lifetime."

In her book, Heather described what she felt during the 1994 Miss America Competition, "God did abide with me. On that night he gave me a physical crown. He stayed by my side through that stressful year-1995-and he has been with me ever since. My Lord Jesus has been my guide and comfort as I have married, given birth to two sons, and had a cochlear implant that dramatically improved my hearing. He has given me so much, but I'm not done with earnestly desiring more-and now I want God's crowns more than anything in the world!
