The Journey into the Divided Heart: Helping You Face the Defense Mechanisms That Hinder True Emotional Healing

by Steve Fair

The Journey into the Divided Heart is a challenging guide that will push you spiritually to a new level of taking responsibility and defining your personal role in the process of healing your hurting heart. Though highly practical and spiritually directive, this book zooms out to give you a convicting overview of the human heart. In its state of being divided, our heart tends toward God as its healer but also toward itself as provider and protector simultaneously. You will learn your defense mechanisms, be led in decision-making journaling and prayers, and you will be given an overview of nine powerful, biblical, and clinical interventions that will lead you to living life to its fullest (John 10:10). This book is a must read for anyone looking for true lasting change, as well as a role-defining text for counselors and pastors who are looking to integrate cutting-edge clinical counseling with an unwavering faith-based, non-religious approach to working with the brokenhearted.

A different way to attain wholeness

A great resource for those who have tried and failed, chasing the elusive change they need and feeling hopeless in a cycle of failure. Be curious at what you run to when you are sad, triggered or upset. Face that reason why you are in a state of hyper alertness. What if the abundant life Jesus promised was possible?

Excellent for ministry professionals and therapists.

Wonderful truth-filled resource that will help you reconnect with God and/or learn to assist others in their spiritual journey home to the Father’s heart.

The defense mechanisms chapters were the most helpful and insightful overall.
