“ALL MY LONGINGS LIE OPEN BEFORE YOU, O LORD; MY SIGHING IS NOT HIDDEN FROM YOU.” Psalm 38:9 · Have you ever covered real emotions with denial or feverish work? · Is there anyone you inwardly dislike, envy, resent, or fear? · What are your deepest secrets? · What are your expectations of yourself and others? · How do you handle profound disappointment? Carol Kent’s candid questions and revealing insights make Secret Longings of the Heart a book for every woman. For, while your deepest longings and passions are known intimately by your Lord, you are not always aware of them yourself. Daringly honest, powerfully encouraging, and thoroughly biblical, Secret Longings of the Heart will help you explore your longings for fulfillment and victory over ten areas of your life. And it will help you channel your passions for good, not for evil, when you are faced with deep disappointment. Here is a rich encounter with the hidden heartbeat of women today-with the passions that determine your lifestyle, your behavior, your attitudes, and ultimately, your ability to serve and draw closer to the One who knows you best and loves you most.
