Watch over your heart with all diligence,
For from it flow the springs of life.
— Proverbs 4:23
“The heart is a matter of life. It is what makes us the human being each of us is. The heart drives all we do. It is who we are.” Dane Ortland, Gentle and Lowly. That is why With All Your Heart, Orienting Your Mind, Desires, and Will Towards Christ by A. Craig Troxel is so critical: it truly is a matter of life and death. This book is saturated with Scripture and pastoral counsel and wisdom. It is broken into 4 parts: Knowing – the mind’s relationship to the heart; Loving – the desires of the heart; Choosing – the will of the heart; and Keeping – practical wisdom for walking in obedience and love to Christ. I just loved the emphasis on the offices of Christ (Prophet, Priest, and King) and how He is our constant help in the pilgrimage of managing our hearts for His glory.
Are you having trouble in your walk with Christ, friend? Are you constantly tripping over desires and slowly progressing in sanctification? I highly recommend you pick this book and study with an older man or woman. I’d love to see a Study Guide for this one! I think this will have to be a book I read over and over. I just loved it!
