Adulterous Heart

Adulterous Heart explores the thoughts and philosophies that produce an unfaithful heart. It introduces the remedy to the pervasive problem of adultery. The book is built on the premise that adultery is a state of heart and mind, not just an event that occurs after marriage. Adulterous Heart briefly traverses the dark recesses of a mind with a close look at the chaos sparked by love, lust, and desire. It highlights the conviction and healing process in the life of the writer as God opened, revealed, and cleaned out the secret corners of her heart. Through the use of personal journal notes, the book demonstrates what we seem to ignore-many thoughts occur long before the act of adultery. The book presents in detail the thoughts that gradually enslave the heart and mind. They are thoughts of unending want, vanity, self-reliance, and belief in false philosophies. Will Believers in Christ continue instead to gloss over the unrighteousness in our own hearts and minds? Will we continue to ignore this area in our relationships that has made us weak and ineffective in our Christian walk? Will we continue to pursue our desires outside of God's will and forfeit the abounding joy and peace of God's amazing grace?! Are we resigned to that which has already made many of us physically & spiritually ill? Adulterous Heart shares God's call to allow Him to heal us. Sadly, this is only a solitary account of the massive plundering of souls taking place within and without the Body of Christ. Yet, God can restore us. God's mercy, grace, and gift of repentance are powerful weapons for winning this battle for the soul. He calls us to surrender to His examination and cleansing so that we can be healed and transformed. Healed and transformed from what-from the ravages of this life and our choices that have gnarled and misshaped us to an image unlike His. Discover the biblical truths about the following false beliefs: Follow your heart; happiness; judging others; love vs. love; good girls; women's rights; pursuing knowledge; sex before marriage; dating; divorce; science explaining life; being a Christian, and Satan. Discover the healing power of: Salvation in Christ; God's Word; Faith in God; Prayer; Obedience; God's Promises; Praising God; Wise Counsel; Forgiveness; and Guarding the Heart and Mind.
