Heart-Work is is defined most like it sounds: a willing work within the heart with the one who created it. Heart-Work is an intimate look at matters of the heart. The inner workings of it determine what we build our life upon.

As you journey through this book, you will get a close look at a heart that experienced love but was also devastated by an encounter with loss. This heart experienced such disappointment that eventually found it bound up by fear. Although committed to living a life of purpose in God, you can still find yourself veering off course.

Walk alongside me in this book and discover the process of what a house built on sand can look like. Heart-Work gives personal accounts that begin with where home originates for us through the heart’s first encounter with pain and its response to it. It furthermore reveals the process of survival and self-preservation as children that we subconsciously and instinctively cling to as the house within our heart gets formed.

You are invited to go deeper in introspection in your own life and discover your own internal mechanisms of identity-forming decision-making in the trappings of temporal and self-protective substitutes. However, within each chapter there is an even greater invitation to experience a more intimate encounter of healing and freedom through simple ingredients of humility, gratitude, and repentance.

Although simple doesn’t always mean easy, you can discover what “thank you" and "I’m sorry” can do for your heart’s condition through many of life’s most devastating storms. In the end you can have a house that stands firm through it all.
