Overview

"Do you struggle with feeling close to others? What about feeling close to God? We can only be as intimate with others and with God as our hearts are emotionally well. Yet all too often, life experiences cause emotional wounds and clogged ""coronary arteries"" that impede our emotional heart's health. In Restoring Your Heart to Deepen Intimacy, Norma Donovan shows you how to clear out the emotional blockages of abandonment, rejection, shame, fear, and deception, so that you can become free to grow in intimacy in all your relationships. Sharing lessons from her emotional healing journey, together with biblical truths and basic concepts in psychology, Norma also invites you to ponder personal questions along the way, so that you can apply her messages to your individual life. You will learn to . . . - be satisfied in your relationships with God and others; - end your struggle with rejection, shame, and anxiety; - stop hiding behind the performance mask, wishing you could be yourself (if only you knew who that was!); - stop feeling stuck in life, as if you're treading water, going nowhere fast; - be freed from fear, so that you can embrace your God-given destiny; and - dismantle barriers that keep you from being the person God created you to be. In the end, you will be able to discover and repair the heart damage that hinders your emotional, spiritual, and relational growth and live life as God intended-to its fullest."
