Resources for the Heart
January 27, 2009
If your looking for literature to stir your heart…
I recommend checking out: www.ransomedheart.com This is John Eldredge’s Ministry. You may know him as author of the best-selling book, Wild at Heart. He’s also written several other equally good books including Journey of Desire, Waking the Dead, and Epic, to name a few. His ministry is deep and wide. It is for men and women who really want to recover the treasure of the Christian gospel in their lives, which is rich and freeing and true and good. Ransomed Heart is about restoring human beings and helping them walk with God. I encourage you to dig into it and be blessed.
Also, John’s video and audio podcasts can be downloaded FREE at the iTunes store. Just type in John Eldredge in the search field and subscribe.
