Wild at Heart


Book Description

Suffering and the Heart of God


Book Description

She's seen slave dungeons in Ghana. Genocide in Rwanda. Systemic sexual abuse in Brazil. Child abuse and domestic violence in the US. After forty years of counseling abuse survivors around the world, Dr. Diane Langberg, a world renowned trauma expert, remains certain that what trauma destroys, Christ can and does restore. This book will convince you, too, of the healing heart of God. But it's not a fast process, instead much patience is required from family, friends, and counselors as they wisely and respectfully help victims unpack their traumatic suffering through talking, tears, and time. And it's not a process that can be separated from the work of God in both a counselor and counselee. Dr. Langberg calls all of those who wish to help sufferers to model Jesus's sacrificial love and care in how they listen, love, and guide. The heart of God is revealed to sufferers as they grow to understand the cross of Christ and how their God came to this earth and experienced such severe suffering that he too is "well-acquainted with grief." The cross of Christ is the lens that transforms and redeems traumatic suffering and its aftermath, not only for the sufferer, but it also transforms those who walk with the suffering. This book will be a great help to anyone who loves, listens to, and seeks to help someone impacted by trauma and abuse. There is no quick fix, but there is the hope for healing through the love of God in Christ.

Issues of the Heart


Book Description

Issues of the Heart is an eclectic collection of pragmatic and realistic poems, free verse and prose that reads like a memoir or short story. It speaks on real life issues as it relates to intrapersonal and interpersonal conflict and human relations such as joy and pain, spirituality, struggles and triumphs, temperance and self-control, and insatiability and over-indulgence that one may find remarkably nostalgic. Thank you Audra Houston, for the opportunity to review your book, Issues of the Heart. I think that it is the first of many future manuscripts. In both your prose and poetry, your writing showed a maturity about your subject matter. It is always admirable to see someone put down his or her thoughts in written form. You have brought closure to your ideas and that too is admirable. This is a must read for people in many disciplines. I wish you a rewarding and fulfilling life as a writer. A.

Issues of the Heart


Book Description

We live in a technologically diverse society, where technology is so advanced that we can do almost anything with the click of a button. Yet, there are times when we need to stop, step back and take time to reflect on God's Word. For many believers, feelings of hopelessness and inadequacy are sensed often in a world that is in desperate need for God to move in their lives. The Word of God empowers our lives and shapes our thinking in ways technology could never achieve. It is my belief that the greatest spiritual awakening of all times is taking place today. More people are seeking spiritual maturity than ever before. Therefore, Issues of the Heart is a helpful tool to individuals and groups alike to explore the riches of God's Word and find spiritual nourishment. I have come to realize that life experiences tend to influence our mission and shape our vision for life's work. Most Christians have a profound desire to find meaning and connection in a world that sometime feels cold and indifferent. Our hearts yearn for a sense of purpose and fulfillment. In the book of James, it tells us to "draw near to God and He will draw near to us" (4:8). God invites us to draw closer to Him; He invites our presence. It is God's unwavering desire for every believer to have a close relationship with Him. However, a close relationship with God requires time spent with Him in study, meditation, and prayer.

Issues of The Heart


Book Description

"God cannot do through a man what he does not have in him, or what a man has not allowed God to do in him." These words from the author, Z.T. Fomum, demonstrate that anyone who wants to walk with and serve God must deal with his heart. God seeks the inner temple, the heart of the believer, to make his home there. Therefore, God's first call to a person is not first of all the call to service. It is the call to know Him deeply and to love Him in a supreme way. These are people carried away by the knowledge and love of God who can go and serve Him. A heart filled with love for the world and the things of the world cannot serve Him. The service of such a man will be rejected. It is in these very clear and compelling terms that the author unloads his onus. As you read this book, you will certainly discover the state of your heart and you will be able to work to present to the Lord a heart qualified to worship and serve Him.




Issues Of The Heart


Book Description

Most of us wander through life with severe heart conditions. I am speaking about more than just medical heart issue, but spiritual and emotional heart issues. These conditions come forth as a result of ignoring a wide range of heart experiences that we go through in life; including loss, grief, sorrow, joy, peace and contentment. Hence, our real blessings often appear in the shape of pain, loss and disappointment. For God often speaks through them. If He brings you to it, it’s so that one day you can turn around and help bring someone else through. And nothing is more beautiful than a smile that has struggled through tears. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
