With All Your Heart Lib/E: Orienting Your Mind, Desires and Will Toward Christ

by A. Craig Troxel

"Here is a book to be welcomed enthusiastically, to be read carefully, and to be returned to frequently." -Sinclair B. Ferguson

In our world, we use the word heart to refer to our emotions. But the Bible uses the word heart to refer to the governing center of life. We need to grasp the true meaning of the heart in order to better understand ourselves, our sin, and our need for redemption. As we rediscover the heart as the source of all our thoughts, fears, words, and actions, we will discover principles and practices for orienting our hearts to truly love and obey God with all that we are.

For the nerd in the group, this book is, essentially, on the topic of Cardiology (the study of the heart). However, this book doesn't delve into the biological functions of the heart, with the valves, muscles, arteries, and the like. Instead, this book is about the theology of the heart, or what the Bible says about our heart.

Craig Troxel does a masterful job threading the needle of scripture around three main sections: Knowing, Loving, Choosing. Trexel begins in the Knowing section by diving deep into the heart of scripture to give the reader a broad overview of most everything that scripture says (and doesn't say) about the heart. Then he moves on to Loving in which he describes what we understand about the affections of the heart. Finally, in the choosing section, Trexel applies this theology to our lives and the choices we make.

I've given this book five stars because of the ease of reading and understandability, without losing the deep theological tones that are necessary for this kind of title. I cannot imagine anyone reading this book and not finding something that is worth taking home. So for the beginning believer, this kind of book would be incredibly beneficial to know your heart's inner and outer workings. For the advanced Christian, this book will be a reminder of areas to grow in that you might be missing out on.

A nuanced and thoughtful analysis of the concept of “heart” in biblical theology. The premise of this book is that the perception of the command to love God with all your heart has been more informed by cultural definitions of the heart than how the human heart is actually portrayed throughout the Bible. As a result, many Christians have believed that thoughtless, sentimental feelings about God are what it means to love him “with all your heart” when in reality, the biblical meaning of heart is as complex as the anatomical heart’s function. The consequences of an inaccurate perception of loving God have been a loss of the value of reason in the Christian life and judgement against those who provide diversity in how they approach loving God given their unique personality and strengths. This book clarifies that the Bible views the heart as the center of our being and deeply integrated with the mind so that “loving God” is a joint endeavor of the will, emotions, thoughts, and desires. A more accurate explanation of the concept of heart provides a thorough exploration of the paradox of our hearts being strongly influenced by our passions but also able to be refined through the disciplines of the mind. There are many connections between the science of the anatomical heart and an accurate view of the heart in theology so I think a further discussion of the truths revealed through nature/science would have strengthened the arguments in this book. Other than that, I appreciated how well arguments were supported with extensive scriptural references and a rich, diverse bibliography of theological and philosophical analyses of the concept of the heart.


PS I highly recommend reading this while listening to Love Secrets by John Mark Pantana

[C.H. Cobb · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an outstanding book. It is a comprehensive study of the heart, as the Bible uses the term. The subtitle is "Orienting your mind, desires, and will toward Christ," and the book delivers. Troxel interacts with the original languages, but this is no dry academic tome. It is suffused with Scripture and application. A Christian at any level of growth will profit from this book, from high-schoolers on up. Highly, highly recommended. Five stars.

[Charles Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

An absolute delight. Our church has spent the past two months reading it together for our midweek study, with nearly everyone showing up to participate. Has been a balm for a church in the throes of great heartbreak. Both convicting and comforting, Troxel reorients our heart in all its capacity to see our Savior, who keeps the heart, and as Mediator has come to undo sin and redeem the heart from all the ways it has been perverted by sin.

[John Dube · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this book. Highly recommend it. As the subtitle suggests, Troxel studies the heart through the lens of the mind, desires, and will. He ends with a section on keeping the heart (an application). What makes this book really great is Troxel himself. This is so much more than a "theology" of the heart. No dry textbook here. This book has "heart"! Every page is filled with vivid illustrations and examples. Troxel's theology and hermeneutics are spot on. There is almost nothing here that favors continuity vs. discontinuity or dis. vs. cov. theology--just really clear and helpful biblical interpretation. If you have questions about the "state of sin" and the "state of grace" (e.g., the fourfold state of man), I know of no better resource. Pick up, read, and shepherd your heart!

I found this book to be a great theology of the heart. It is full of scripture and a reminder that our hearts are to be kept above all else.

I’ve always struggled with understanding the different aspects of the heart, but Troxel breaks it down systematically into three parts - the mind, its desires and, the will. Left to themselves all three of these are destined to destruction, sin and death. Yet, in Christ all three are redeemed and made new. I’m thankful our hearts are ultimately held by Him.

A great book on a sadly overlooked topic

[E · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent, excellent book with deep insight coupled with obvious pastoral concern. Troxel, a former OP minister in Wheaton, Illinois, now serving at Westminster Seminary California, has obviously spent a great deal of his life musing on the Bible's teaching on the human heart, and has now poured out the results of that reflection into this book. It is well worth anyone's time.

The book is divided into four sections, each with a similar structure--although I should say right out that there is a not a strong separation between these four sections, or between the 3 chapters constituting each section. There is overlap, but healthy overlap, reflecting the ways in which Scripture itself does not draw hard lines between the various aspects of the human heart. And as a pastor, Troxel can't talk about the heart for long without talking about sin, and then about Christ, so those lines break down as well--as they should!

Troxel writes of the heart as the center of knowing, loving, and choosing. The fourth section is then about keeping the heart. Each section starts with a chapter on how Scripture addresses these activities from a "neutral" standpoint, then a chapter on how our sinfulness leads these activities astray, then a chapter in each section on Christ's work as prophet, priest, and king, respectively. As prophet he corrects our faulty and misguided knowledge. As priest he consecrates our desires, our loves, so that they chase after the things of God. As king he conquers our will so that it falls in line with God's.

The last section, on keeping the heart, is a bit different. He writes on what it means to protect and preserve our heart, then dedicates a chapter to our eyes and ears as the gatekeepers of our heart, then one to our mouth as the broadcaster of our heart. Then he closes with a look at Christ at the ultimate keeper of our heart. These last four chapters are the most "practical," but again, Troxel is as practical as you can throughout. And totally saturated with Scripture. I've never seen such a long index for 180 pages of prose. He's grasped these texts inside and out. This book is a true treasure.

You can find my full (not much longer than this) review on Spoiled Milks (August 21, 2020).

Jesus said the greatest commandment was to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart.” Since that is the case, the better we know our heart the better clarity we will have to obey. Troxel shows how when the Bible speaks about the heart, the mind and will are often included too. Speaking about our hearts isn't a -touchy-feely thing. The heart speaks of our whole selves. The heart includes what we know, what we love, and what we choose.

But because we are sinners, we are corrupted. We are not as evil as we could be, but we are corrupted through and through—our minds, our desires, and our will. But The Lord in his threefold office of prophet, priest, and king, ministers to our hearts—to us. Troxel writes, "There is nothing in our heart that the Lord of our heart cannot make right" (21).

We know and understand with our minds, and we sin when we fall short of what we know (and don't know, too). But Christ the Prophet teaches and assures us. We love what we desire, and we more often than we realize twist what is good to satisfy us. But Christ the Priest redeems and renews. We choose and make decisions with our will, and we sin by actively choosing and rebelling against God's good commands. But Christ the King subdues and strengthens us to follow him.

He writes that because we are sinful by nature, "our mind is unable to see, hear, or believe because the heart, by nature, is hardened by sin. A veil covers the eyes of the heart (2 Cor. 3:14)" (46). As humans, "The mind, whether fallen or reborn, is always biased, motivated, and impassioned by the state of the heart in general" (47). So as sinful humans, we want to discover more about what our heart enjoys. We desire it, which fuels our will to act. The more we love Christ, the more we know him, the more we will desire and act in ways that glorify him instead of those ways where we sin against him. 

Recommended?
Even though I grew up with phrases like, "You become what you eat," seeing how this comes from Scripture and how it plays out in my life and in your life is eye-opening. Troxel takes the knife and makes the incision to show how we are imperfect and that we live out that imperfection. But there is an answer, and it is Christ, one who teaches us, cleanses us, and strengthens us. I highly recommend this work.

[Danette · Rating 3 out of 5]

Excellent
The book is dense but worth the read.
Troxel challenges us to keep our hearts but reminds us that God is the one who keeps us.

"As pilgrims, we lift our weary eyes in faith to the Father, Son, and Spirit, who have granted us an inheritance that cannot perish, spoil, or fade, which is kept in heaven for us. God comforts us with the knowledge that we are precious to him and that we are shielded by faith and guarded by God's power for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. Christ is able to keep us to the end. He will keep our hearts, and he will keep us. We belong to him, who alone is the Lord of our heart."

2021 A book whose title comes from a Bible verse

[Kevin V. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Troxel offers a thorough exploration of the biblical teaching regarding what it means to love God “with all your heart.” Of particular importance to his argument is the way that he highlights the threefold office of Christ (prophet, priest, and king) and relates them to the threefold division of the human heart (knowing, desiring, and choosing). Throughout his argument, Troxel weaves a wealth of words and ideas from poetry (John Donne, George Herbert, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Shakespeare, etc.) and literature (Victor Hugo, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, etc.). His use of such elements only serves to add beauty and fragrance to what might otherwise become a stale discussion.

[F.C. Shultz]

Really solid. The table of The Heart, Its Sin, and Its Redemption at the end of the introduction is very helpful. Here are a few quotes (there’s a ton more, but here’s a sampling):

“Christ is our gentle guide who enables us to see just enough of our sin to awaken us but not too much to sink us into despair.”

“But if the Christian life is nothing but bare duty, then something has gone seriously wrong with our heart.”

“The goal is not to have weaker desires but stronger desires, namely, to have righteous desires surpass evil desires.”

[Alexandru Croitor · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author builds on the munus triplex showing how Christ is the prophet, priest and king of our hearts (used here as "centre of personality" - mind, desires and will). Great devotional "listen".

[Jorge Cardenas · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book’s focus is on the heart, as the title makes clear. Craig Troxel writes on the heart while providing theoretical and practical ways of guarding it. He draws from the reformed tradition to make his points on the condition of the heart and for providing advice for keeping close to Christ.

In his introduction, Troxel points how the heart is currently defined by non-Christians (other religions included); he moves on to properly define the heart and its vertical relation to God by citing the summary of the Law as defined by Jesus Christ on the Gospels. This is book is given its main reason for existence by this statement:

“The heart merits the careful study of Scripture. In fact, I hope to persuade you that the word “heart” is the most important word in the Bible to describe who you are within”.

He defines heart as: “the governing center of a person. When used simply, it reflects the unity of our inner being, and when used comprehensively, it describes the complexity of our inner being—as composed of mind (what we know), desires (what we love), and will (what we choose).”

It is a good enough definition for Troxel’s purposes, although one can say more, even in more nuanced (think Scholastic here) ways. This definition allows the book to move from using the heart as a reasoning agent to a loving one. It moves from common definitions of the sin inherent in us to how it is healed and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Throughout, Troxel doesn’t just stay giving us theoretical definitions but provides practical ways of guarding and directing our hearts to God. Almost every page has biblical citations, which reminds you of the best of Puritan theology. This book will help Christians to grasp the important of keeping the heart and how to pursue holiness. It is as practical as Jerry Bridges books and as biblical as Thomas Watson’s.

4.5. This book is excellent. Highly recommend. Thoroughly biblical, practical, and pastoral.

[Esther Hallel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I began this book curiously, perhaps even begrudgingly. I wasn't expecting to actually finish it. I was immediately surprised. I really enjoyed it from the start, I couldn't put it down, I tore through it.

Troxel's writing is detailed and nuanced. Again, he is nuanced like nothing else. His thought progression throughout the book was logical and easy to follow, it felt complete. There were lots of word studies which were really fun. I love the precision.


I struggled quite a bit throughout, as the authors tone is harsh. I'm disappointed. Perhaps it is because Troxel's idea of his readers are thise who "tend to overstate our strengths and virtue, while we underestimate our weaknesses and faults." (Pg. 156) This is not the case with many people I know.
But thus he feels the need to take people down a notch. It feels like a wreckless assumption. Perhaps the tone throughout would be different if he had a different audience in mind. I feel sad because I do not know if this is the case or not. May we never take lightly that "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. 5:3)

I appreciated the overall emphasis on not focusing on negating sinful thoughts or desires but on focusing on reinforcing what is good.

I wasn't sure about the major point of the hearts desire, that one's desires are the main revealer of one's values. I think people can fall into sin and feel miserable. I think people can desire and do things that they hate, not value. I think it's helpful to think about the connection between one's desires and loves and affections and values. It is very telling. But I don't think it's a complete or rounded way of looking at it. Perhaps here we can debate whether or not this is misunderstanding Troxel's point. I will leave it to you.

Otherwise, I felt in harmony with the major points (though some of the comments and secondary thoughts were head scratchers.)

With All Your Heart pulls often from Scripture and is Christocentric, frequently inviting the reader to consider the person and work of Christ. It's hope filled, never leaving one in their knowledge of sin but immediately whipping back towards the promises believers have in Christ. In fact, the last chapter of the book brings these promises into full focus so that moving forward our sight and hope is in God.

All around, a valuable read I really enjoyed.

These summer months have built many new family memories, as we’ve explored some new campgrounds, and trails. With childrens’ propensity for checking things out, mine began running into the bush for different things, only to hear my motherly voice admonishing them to stay out of the bush to avoid an encounter with poison ivy.

They seemed to listen for awhile. But then, they began to pay less attention, after all, they hadn’t gotten any itchy rash so far, maybe my cautionary stance was unfounded.

This happens to me sometimes. I hear the cautionary words of Scripture, the admonishment to guard my heart, to confess my sin, to pursue a deeper abiding with Him, and I heed His Word fo awhile, but then, I slip up, and if nothing seems to “happen” I carry on in my slothful, unintentional ways, entering the bush as if there is no poison ivy to be found.

In the book, “With All Your Heart: Orienting Your Mind, Desires and Will Toward Christ” by Craig Troxel, he describes the heart as central to who we are, as it encompasses what we know, what we love and what we choose. These three aspects of our being are intertwined together, influencing and revealing the other.

Scripture teaches us that our hearts are deceitful above all else; our sinful nature ever nagging at each of them. As we understand our heart, and our sinful tendencies within it, we are better equipped for reorienting ourselves toward Him, with a greater reason to pursue a life that abides in the Vine, a reason to stay out of the bush and become more intentional in our own obedience.

What We Know
Most often, we don’t equate knowledge with the heart, it is usually relegated to the head, and separated from the realm of our feeling. However, he points out that, “our thought life is shaped and manipulated by the state of the whole heart and its wider and deeper agenda, whether it is polluted or sanctified.“

Our thoughts influence how we feel. Just imagine what happens when you think to yourself, “that was really dumb,” you probably feel embarrassed, or frustrated. In the same way, when our thoughts are oriented only ourselves, we feel sad, down or even angry when what we want isn’t happening.

This easily happens to me, when I have a plan to do something throughout the day and my task gets lost in the shuffle of life. I feel irritated and can miss what God has in store for me.

Our thought life will slowly transform as we invest our thoughts in His Word. This isn’t a particularly new concept, I hope, but it helps us to see the importance of knowing Scripture and spending time in His Word. We grow in our knowledge. We progress toward maturity.

This is part of our sanctification, and is so relevant as we live in the World because, “a Christian’s growth necessitates his or her maturity of mind, and with increasing maturity, the Christian is able to answer the lies of the world and of our deceitful hearts.”

We are bombarded daily with news, the pressure to buy this new thing, or conform to culture in some way. The slippery slope to temptation from the influences around us, or from the longings within us, can be answered as we orientate our minds to Him.

How does what you know impact your faith?

What We Love
We are created to desire. It’s a beautiful piece of our uniqueness; we are passionate about different things. Thus, we are led to glorify God and serve others in many diverse ways; this is the beauty of the body of Christ.

Our desires reveal what we love. Like the gum inside of a tootsie pop, what we love is beneath the surface of the things we long for.

The author reminds that they can become sinful when they are out of balance, developing into idols, because “the problem with idols has always been as much about the desire for them as it has been about the object.”

So, we learn to become aware of our longings, understanding that, “some desires are to be encouraged, others to be subdued; some to be fanned into flame, others to be smothered; some to be loosened and set free, others to be harnessed and disciplined.”

Our challenge is to continue pursuing spiritual growth, that we can continually hold our loves with open hands before the Father, gaining His wisdom as we figure out what to do with them.

How do your desires impact your faith?

What We Choose
We make good choices, we make poor choices; obedient, and disobedient. Our hearts can be stubborn, proud and weak, they can also be surrendered and strengthened.

“The heart’s resistance and lack of resistance suggest what is familiar to us all: the struggle of our willpower, which tortures us when we feel caught in a constant tug-of-war between what we know and what we desire.“

We are reminded that, “The heart we have by nature must be renewed by God’s grace and have fresh infusions of life poured into it by God’s Spirit.” For our hearts to be obedient, we need Christ, His strength, His mercy and His grace.

All the residual sin we daily battle, causes us frustration and pain, and for as long as we live on earth, we will be continually growing in grace, until the day of His coming, when He will complete our sanctification.

This is hard. We would prefer to just be perfect, to not continue making mistakes, or giving in to temptation. It forces us to confession, repentance, humility and true dependance on the Father. It might seem like a hard trade, but oh how our character and integrity can grow!

How do your choices impact your faith?

How We Keep Our Heart
The author points us to the ultimate Keeper of our heart, that even though we put much effort into preserving and protecting our heart, He is ultimately the One who keeps us, strengthens us and empowers us.

“You seek to love Christ faithfully with all your heart’s knowing, desiring, and choosing. But your deeper confidence is in Christ’s love for you and his keeping, preserving, and protecting you.“

We are encouraged to preserve and protect our hearts through our practice of meditating on the Word and through prayer. We are reminded to maintain vigilance over what we see, and what we hear. We are admonished to gauge the words we speak, and what it indicates about our spiritual life.

Conclusion
When we look at our heart, it’s mind, desires and choices, we begin to understand more of who we are on the inside, the depth of our sin, and the greatness of God’s grace.

“Just as nothing in our nature has escaped the wreckage of sin, so also nothing in our nature escapes the touch of his reforming grace.”

Scripture teaches us that our hearts are deceitful above all else, perhaps drowning us in guilt and uncertainty. Trusting what we know from the Word, surrendering our desires, and acting in obedience to Christ can be a difficult path at times, but as we abide in the Vine, our thoughts become more like His, our love aligns to what He loves, and our actions transform more to reflect His glory.

I really enjoyed this book, giving it 5 stars. It could be one I return to every year, to remind myself of my heart’s depravity, and of the greatness of God’s grace in my sanctification. I think it’s important for the life of the believer, to recognize the complexities of our hearts and this book provides an opportunity to do that.

How will understanding the complexities of your heart help you abide in the Vine today?

With All Your Heart: Orienting Your Mind, Desires, and Will Toward Christ by A. Craig Troxel

Troxel defines very clearly what the heart is refering to in Scripture and makes a biblical case for the heart encompassing our mind, desires, and will. The book is divided up into four different parts that go into the specifics of mind, desires, and will. The last part is entitled, Keeping, which is all about how God keeps us.

Troxel shows us how we fail in different areas of loving the Lord God with all our hearts and shows us how we ought to and how Christ redeems us through each of his roles as Prophet, Priest, and King.

As Prophet- He teaches and assures our mind.

As Priest- He redeems and renews our desires.

As King- He subdues and strengths our wills to say yes to what we ought to say yes to and no to what we ought to say no to.

This book is filled with Scripture. He doesn't just give Scripture to support his claims, he explains the Scriptures and shows examples from other parts of Scripture to make his points. I also love how he gives many examples from Scripture. This book is a wonderful read that challenges us to see our hearts biblically instead of how the world sees our hearts. This book will also challenge you to see the heart encompassing so much more than our emotions and show that you can't separate the heart from the mind as they are connected. Troxel bogged my mind at times with all of his wonderful definitions and at the same time defined them so clearly. It was a really good read!

[Meredith Coogan · Rating 5 out of 5]

With All Your Heart is a book I will be coming back to again when I need help sorting our my own heart and conscience. It helped me greatly to counsel myself and others in what we are treasuring wrongly and how we can treasure Christ, rightly. The flow of the book accords well with how we ought to search our hearts, repent, and look to Christ who is the ultimate keeper of our lives, “ the Lord will keep your life.” (Psalm 122)
My only hesitation is that he seems to be presuppositional in his stance of how the fall of mankind has darkened the intellect, “we are not capable of dispassionate or objective reasoning.” (Pg. 79) This I would disagree with but it didn’t take up a big portion of the book and easy to overlook if you also disagree.

[Mark A Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

When we use the word “heart” it is most often in context of emotion or feelings. Biblical usage of “heart,” however, encompasses our thoughts, desires, and will. The heart is the inner essence of who and what we are as people.

Thus, Troxel shows the absolute importance of guarding our heart and keeping it properly oriented on Christ. He explores this concept in the broad categories of knowing, loving, choosing, and keeping.

In a world inundated with wrong notions of the heart (and certainly wrong notions of anything ever being wrong with it), Troxel’s work is a much-needed corrective, grounded in Scripture’s exhortations encouraging us to love Christ with our deepest affections.

[Taylor Bradbury · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gold. Biblical, insightful, pastoral. Troxel’s book provides the balance and scriptural data I always felt lacking in much of James K.A. Smith’s work (though helpful in some ways). Troxel proves that to separate the mind, affections, and will is simply not biblical. We are thinkers, willers, and doers… and all of this can be summed up with the biblical category of “heart.” Troxel was theological yet practical, and provides a great way forward when it comes to thinking about our hearts.

4.75/5

[Joseph · Rating 4 out of 5]

Christ-centered and soaked in Scripture. Reading this broadened my thoughts on a more Biblical understanding of the human heart.

“We are not capable of dispassionate or objective reasoning.”

“A mind working apart from the affections is not just undesirable; it is inhuman.”

“Human reason is motivated by and ‘radically embedded’ in the character of the heart.”

[James Khil · Rating 5 out of 5]

What does "with all your heart" mean? What are the different parts that make up the heart? Is intellect at odds with the heart since nowadays we define the heart as emotion or feeling? Dr. Craig Troxel shows what the Scriptures have to say about the heart, and he gave me a better understanding of my heart, as well as my sins, ultimately pointing me to Christ, where redemption is found and who alone is the Lord of my heart.

[Kayley Jordan van Wingerden · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is organized extremely well and it gives great practical advice. Definitely want to keep this one on my shelf. It really helps to understand the all-encompassing effect that our hearts have on our lives. All I can say is to please take the time to read this book.

So much to meditate on in regards to the connection between one’s thoughts, desires, and will and how the Lord redeems each area. I can say that this goes down as one of the most important and influential books that I’ve read.

Solidly biblical, this book does a great job of correcting the divide we perceive between our minds and our hearts. It’s like a robust word study of the heart in Scripture, with some good application and illustrations along the way.
