The Runaway Bride: Are you living for Jesus or are you running away from Him?
Have you ever sat in a church service week after week but went home and continued to live a life outside of Christ? Have you ever led a bible study and looked like you “were perfect” but you were suffering silently in sin? Have you ever just ran from God all together? If so, then this book is for you.If you have ever felt that way, you’re not alone. Heather Lindsey tried to run from God for years as she sat in the pews at church on Sunday Morning. She realized that it was not enough to just sit in a building and call herself a Christian, however, that is exactly what her life showed. She was running from Christ and into the arms of this world.Jesus Christ is returning for His bride and you are His bride. He wants your loneliness, discontentment, pride, depression, suicidal thoughts, dysfunctional relationships, hurt, pain, love of money, people bondage, and every other area of your life. At times, we can hold onto these things while ignoring the beautiful covenant Jesus gave us that bonds us together with Him in beautiful marriage throughout eternity.Jesus can return for us at any moment. Will we be ready? Will we serve in the church our whole lives and then hear Him say, “Depart from me, I didn’t know you?” Will you continue to run from relationship to relationship and ignore His desire to lead you to your one day spouse? Will you continue to hate your earthly marriage? Remember, all of these things on this earth are temporary and our groom is coming back for His bride, so it’s vital that you are not distracted by the cares of this world. Join Heather as she challenges you to get prepared to meet our groom face-to-face.

Excellent Book Again by Heather Lindsey!
I could not wait for the release of this book and I was not disappointed! Heather is a straight-shooter about living your life completely for Christ; she backs her points up with scriptures and insights from her own personal testimony. Heather makes it painfully clear to the reader that a decision needs to be made, and that decision needs to be made today: Are you going to live for Christ or are you going to live for the world which is temporal and leads to destruction?! I applaud Heather for pointing out you can't do both, and again she backs this up soundly with scriptures. The only complaint I have with this book is that I didn't read it twenty years ago and save myself years of self-destructive heartache! At no point does the author come across as condescending or judgemental, in fact, she writes as if she is your girlfriend sitting down with you having a heart to heart discussion. I highly recommend this book to every Christian woman and look forward to her next release!

July 12, 2015Heart Check!!!
Heather's growth is evident in this literary work. She holds no punches yet she strikes the perfect balance between keeping it real and lovingly admonishing the women of God's Kingdom to take a stand. Between nodding, crying and praying I was fully engaged the whole way through! Thanks Heather for allowing God to use you! I'm deeply encouraged and look forward to practically applying (to a higher degree) the subjects discussed.
