Faith Beats: Growing Your Spiritual Heart Knowledge

How’s your heart? Your spiritual heart, that is. Just like we all need check-ups for our physical heart, we need to regularly check our soul’s heart condition.  Shannon McGee has thought a lot about hearts, as she was born with a defective heart. A “blue baby” with a hole in her heart, she had a condition known as tetralogy of Fallot. Four operations before the age of nine allowed her to live a normal life.  In this Bible study, she compares the four heart defects she was born with and the work of the surgeon’s hands to repair those defects to the defectiveness of sin in our hearts and God’s perfect plan of redemption to restore our hearts back to Him.   Using scripture, Faith Beats reveals God’s original design and purpose of our spiritual heart, its congenital condition, our need for restoration, the power of transformation, and our eternal expectation.  Questions at the end of each chapter, a short exercise, and space for reflection will help the reader discover ways to better guard their heart health by examining them, filling them with the Word, exercising faith, and living a spiritual heart-healthy lifestyle.  While only Jesus Christ can mend our hearts, it is important that we properly tend our hearts.   —Shannon McGee
