HEART WIDE OPEN - BK. REVIEW

HEART WIDE OPEN
Shellie Rushing Tomlinson

The honest and sincere purpose of Shellie Rushing Tomlinson in writing “Heart Wide Open” seems to be to excite her readers to a stronger and lasting faith in Jesus.  She succeeds in doing this very well.  Tomlinson opens her heart in transparency with the problems she has experienced with a mundane faith and then to grow into an excitement about Jesus that doesn’t fade.

An important realization comes as we see how much God loves us.  We do what is necessary to fall in love with him in devotion that lasts day in and out.  This means bending our will to His.  Everything God requires of us is for our benefit.  A person can do all the “right” things but not have a heart for God.  As our love for Him grows, our love for our fellow man grows as well.  This pleases God.


Many Scriptures and personal examples are used to illustrate the points that Tomlinson makes.  I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
