What a beautiful unfolding of how God really sees us....every time we fail or miss the mark in some way, it seems we always blamed it on our wicked hearts that are so deceitful. This wonderful book unfolded the truth to me that my heart is no longer wicked, nor can I be deceived by it, because God has replaced my old heart of stone with a good clean heart. He has placed within me His righteousness....which is a gift!
Recovering the truth and discarding the lie that Satan has had me believe for so many years has brought such freedom to my life.....now I know true joy because every morning I wake up, I wake up knowing that my Father has a big smile on His face as He looks down at me....the apple of his eye!
This is a book of freedom!

"God is more interested in teaching you to live from your new (and good) heart than he is in pressuring you to be a good Christian."

This compelling statement from the back cover of "Recover Your Good Heart" beautifully describes the essence of what Jesus meant when he said that he came to give us abundant life.

We've been told that our hearts are wicked. As a result, we spend our lives striving to please a god who is always watching, ready to mete out punishment whenever we fail. This is a scary god who can't be trusted so we end up hiding, afraid of his wrath. What a sad picture of Christianity today!

Jim Robbins totally dispels this lie. We're not just worms in the dust waiting for God to pour out his wrath on us. NO! The truth is that we've been given a new heart which is filled with God's life so now we're his children and he's eager to pour out a continuous flow of love and grace on us.

Jim, in a style that's clear and simple to understand, describes the truth about our good and noble heart. Included in the book are stories of people who have been bound by shame and guilt because they've believed that no matter what they did, it was never good enough. As they learned the truth about their good hearts and began to live in that reality, their lives were dramatically changed.

I highly recommend this book! As Jim said, "It's time to set your good heart free . . . " and that's exactly what I believe will happen for those who read this book and accept the truth that they now have a good heart.

I have really been enriched by reading this book. It has confirmed my inner feelings about the effects of "dead religion" on my life and drawn me closer to the awesome God who loves me unconditionally. The language structure in the book sometimes is a little difficult to follow and requires a lot of concentration to understand, but I would highly recommend the book for anyone who is becoming disillusioned with "church" as we know it today.

This is an excellent book. It helped me get in touch of who I am in Christ.
