Pure Heart by Tom and Donna Cole

by Tom Cole

"Pure Heart: Restoration of the Heart through the Beatitudes" is a journey into the deep treasures of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Each chapter addresses one of the eight Beatitudes in a unique approach to inner healing. God longs for us to know Him, and He wants to heal the wounds in our hearts. You may find it difficult to receive love from God or from others because of past abuse or neglect, but desire to go deeper into the Lord's heart. This book is for you. You will discover God's abiding affections toward you and explore His promises over you. As you seek Him for healing, may He restore your heart to wholeness and fulfill the promises of blessing in your life. Tom and Donna Cole have ministered in restoration of the heart and inner healing since 1989. Their desire is to see the Church walk in fullness without the hindrance of wounds and shame. They have spoken nationally and internationally on the healing heart of the Father and speak at conferences, seminars and retreats on issues such as the deeper Christian life and having a life of prayer. They also speak at Pure Heart seminars and retreats, based on this book. For more information, you can visit their website at www.pureheartseminars.com.

[Jon Burd · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good biblical view of the beatitudes that breaks them down and applies them to healing for the hearts of Christians. I felt that the explanation of femininity was incomplete, but Tom and Donna did a great job touching on the rest in a lecture series I went to that used this book.
Lots of great stuff on children and the impact mothers and father's have / the mother and father heart of God.

Overall theme of the love of God in true wholeness and how we can experience it in our brokenness.

[Lance Towers · Rating 3 out of 5]

If the poor (absolutely destitute) in spirit are blessed, I want to find a way to arrive at this state and stay there. While Pure Heart is about all eight beatitudes, the Cole's description of the first is leaving the biggest mark on me. So much so, that this week I have been singing, "May I not graduate from this state of desperation." This book's explanation of poverty of spirit was itself worth the money spent to attain it.

Reading this book is worth the effort. I found new understanding of God's love and new encounter with His heart. He will meet you in your place of pain if you will invite Him in. Be blessed.
