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.
