Book Cover & Preview Text
We want to be significant. We want to matter. We want to leave our imprint on the world. These are all very good things to desire, but if we desire them “hole-heartedly”, we will never find our peace. Not until we fill our desperate soul with God’s incredible presence will we be enabled to live a wholehearted life. In the pages of this book, you will find the answers to many of the questions you may be asking yourself: o Is there more to this life? Is this all there is? o My heart is just not feeling much like obeying God, is it even possible? o Why can’t I seem to find peace in my life? o I said a prayer to ask Jesus in my heart, so why don’t I feel “saved”? o I go to church, I volunteer and I wear myself out trying to impress God – do you think He notices? o Are all Christians hypocrites and judgmental? o I am caught up in a very sinful lifestyle but I don’t really want to change. How do I change my “want-to’s”? o Do I have to clean up my life before I can begin a relationship with Jesus? These are all questions I had prior to my life changing “spiritual heart transplant”. A spiritual heart transplant is what happens when you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior. We will absolutely go into more detail about what this means throughout the book and I am so excited to share this good news with you as we unpack the meaning of Ezekiel 36:26-27 together. The unfulfillment in my life was a symptom of undiagnosed heart disease, but not a physical disease, more of a spiritual one. Until I stopped trying so hard to be good and began to realize I was dying, I was stuck in a rut of misery within an empty existence while I always felt like a fraud and a failure. My “outside” life looked just fine, but inside I knew something was missing. And I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Can you relate to this? Wholehearted will take you on my personal journey but will also challenge you to examine your own journey, while giving you clear explanations and answers from God’s Word along the way. Come join the journey with me to living the life you were created to live – your wholehearted life is waiting for you!
