In Keeping Heart , Dr. Chip Dodd takes us to the benefits of needing well, desiring honestly, longing deeply, and facing unvanquished hope. The five characteristics of the heart are in us to grow us and bless us, but have so often been mistaken for negative experiences that one needs to control rather than utilize. We have been created to live fully in a tragic place. Knowing our hearts and utilizing its gifts help us see who we are created to be so we can do what we are created to do.
Chip Dodd is a teacher, trainer, author, and counselor, who has been working in the field of recovery and redemption for over 25 years. It is the territory in which people can return to living the way we are created to live-where we can move from survival to living, from isolation to loving, and from controlling to leading. After receiving his PhD in counseling from the University of North Texas, he founded a treatment center, The Center for Professional Excellence (CPE) in Nashville, dedicated to helping people be who they are made to be, so they can do what they are made to do.
