Eight women tried an experiment. In so doing, they changed everything about their lives without adding one single “to-do” to their lists. They added an open heart to their daily experience and found tremendous peace and happiness. Their experiences, and advice on how every woman can find their own amazing open heart, is detailed in Virginia Hinckley Pearce’s new book A Heart Like His: Making Space to feel God’s Love in Your Life (Deseret Book, Hardcover, $15.95).
The heart is the center of physical, emotional and spiritual life. An open heart looks outward and creates energy. It is soft and warm. It draws others in and helps to heal other hearts. It is hopeful in the face of hardship, patient in the midst of busyness and kind in a cold world. It is finding inner-strength in the middle of all of life’s challenges.
An open heart sounds so amazing that it must be difficult to find. Not so, explains Virginia. Her secret to an open heart is to simply be aware of its condition on a daily basis. Virginia offers a practical guide, one that takes into consideration the many demands and pressures on the lives of busy women, and does not presume to impose any additional “things” to do.
The results speak for themselves. Regardless of race, religion or other beliefs, a new heart, “doesn’t just make life nicer or more pleasant and comfortable,” says Virginia. “Being filled with the love of God actually changes everything because it has the power to completely change us inside.”
A Heart Like His is available at Deseret Book, deseretbook.com, or wherever LDS books are sold.
