I have been a christian since I was little. I grew up in a christian home with wonderful parents who set very good examples of christian living. I am currently separated from my husband, who has chose to live without God and me. I turned to this book because I was struggle so much. I love this book because it fills in the WHYs that I have asked in every prayer. I have learned so much from this book about fulfilling a peaceful heart. I have learned things that I never knew I was suppose to be doing as a christian. If you feel you are lacking or missing something, you probably are. Read this book and follow the guidance Stormie talks about. Believe it, your life will change dramatically. I have the peace that I needed to make it through this time of my life. Thank you Stormie!

This book is very direct and easy to read. It doesn't weigh you down with heavy theology, just points you directly to what God says. Stormie Omartian writes as though she is a friend you're having over for coffee. This friend shows you the mistakes she has made and how God has delivered her, and can help us through our struggles too. It's definately not just a woman's book, it's a believer's book!

While I believe there is a time and place to see a shrink, there is also a time and place to get real with yourself and look deep within yourself to find the root of your problems.

In Finding Peace for Your Heart, Stormie shows us how vital a role God plays in our healing, and how important it is for us to be willing to look at the root of our problems. It's truly the first step towards healing and spiritual growth.

I read this book with great intensity, found areas in my life that the Lord wanted me to work on, and finished it feeling truly inspired to lean on God more.

I have bought a ton of self help books either by psychologists, doctors or christians and I get bored, so I stop reading them. I have read 24 pages so far and Ms. Omartian has me in tears already. I know that this book will be the one that I finish reading!

An easy to read book yet full of straight talk about how to deal with our emotions and doing the right thing for God. Stormia is gifted in writing from her heart and making the readers feel as if she is just talking to them one on one. I highly recommend this book.

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a book packed with so much useful information on various subjects. Everything she talks about has an uniting theme, improving your life, emotional health, the strength of your relationship to God, and your physical health (which your emotional health can affect). She talks a little about taking care of your physical health in this book since it deserves mention, but I would also recommend her book "Greater Health God's Way" since you may read this section and feel like you want more information. The physical health section in this book does not include all the important notes she has on each of the steps (which are in "Greater Health God's Way"). The other great aspect of this book is her wonderful lists that make good reference material to review from time to time, such as reasons the scriptures (God's word) says that reading the Bible is important and what it will do for you (there are many more topics... but they follow the same format... answering the questions, why should I do this? what are the benefits that are listed in God's word relating to this subject?) Loving God with All your Mind is also a good book that is similar in that it is directed towards emotional health, but it is not as complete nor does it cover anywhere near the ground that Stormie covers. However, without looking at Loving God with All your Mind, which was recommended to me, I would have never known about this book. Thanks to amazon for their listings of similar books!! :)

This book is a must read. I've read it, my husband is reading it and I've bought it for friends. If every person in therapy would read it,their healing time would be cut in 1/2. Combine it with the author's Power of a Praying Wife and Power of a Praying Husband and the divorce rate would be cut in 1/2! Stormy Omartian is a blessing to those of us who didn't grow up in perfect homes, and have not lead perfect lives but want to grow in the Lord and in life! God Bless Her!

I have read countless books for emotional healing. This is by far the best and probably the only one that needs to be read. Unfortunately, the subtitle of the book may turn men away from reading this book. This book is for everyone! For women AND men. Even for those who have not suffered abuse. We all have low points in our lives. This book will guide you through them.

In the few days it took me to read this book I feel I am a new person. This is a must read for women and men alike. Don't let the title scare you away men. This is a man and a woman's guide to emotional health. I told my sister I would pass it on to her once I finished it but I think I will buy her one for her to keep as I think it will be very helpful for me to go back to from time to time and re-read many areas.

I have longed for peace and direction in my life for years. This book has taught me how to find it. Omartian has woven her story and exeriences in with the 7 steps to healing which helped me apply this to my life. The prayers are powerful and all of her advice and information is backed by Biblical scripture. I encourage all readers to use this as a study book. Write in it. Make notes and hightlight what speaks to you. Then go back and refer to it later.

I have and will recommend this book to everyone I know who is searching for peace. Shalom to you ~ Jennifer
