"Here is a book to be welcomed enthusiastically, to be read carefully, and to be returned to frequently."
--Sinclair B. Ferguson

In our world, we use the word heart to refer to our emotions. But the Bible uses the word heart to refer to the governing center of life. We need to grasp the true meaning of the heart in order to better understand ourselves, our sin, and our need for redemption. As we rediscover the heart as the source of all our thoughts, fears, words, and actions, we will discover principles and practices for orienting our hearts to truly love and obey God with all that we are.

• Relates the three capacities of the heart outlined in the Bible--knowing, loving, and choosing--to the threefold office of Christ--prophet, priest, and king
• Offers practical principles for guarding and keeping the heart by identifying how our eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet reveal what's truly inside
• Shows how the heart is the source of all thoughts, fears, words, and actions
