Book Review: Your Heart’s Desire by Sheri Rose Shepherd

The last book review of 2012 from none other than Sheri Rose Shepherd. Her latest? Your Heart’s Desire–14 Truths that will Forever Change the Way You Love and Are Loved.

I first learned of Sheri Rose from her His Princess: Love Letters from the King. To this day I receive a letter in my inbox and they are always exactly what I need to hear from my Heavenly Father. I was curious. Could God use her again as a vessel to change others for God under the topic of marriage?

Yes. Like Beth Moore, Sheri Rose Shepherd’s writing comes from a life deep in hard experiences. She’s upfront from page one that she thought she had it all, lost everything, doubted everything down to and including God caring for her, and by His grace, pieced her life back better than it was. This time she knew it wasn’t man who could rescue and be her everything, it had to be Jesus.

Sheri Rose shares from the very worst in places (her engagement to three different men at the same time and how that came crashing on her) to encouragement she can give as a life coach. Each chapter also has a prayer, Scripture, Love Coaching, and resources for a small group including a QR code you can capture on your smartphone.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Sheri Rose Shepherd proves the leaders with broken, flawed lives make the best. If a speaker or author wants to share their perfect life, I’m not interested because they aren’t living authentic. I want to soak in truth from someone who has been there. This book is challenging because she’s been at the hard and low places, and no one walked away.

 

 

 

 

The truths are:

1. Desiring a “Happily Ever After”

2. Desiring a Godly Man to Marry (for singles)

3. Desiring to Leave a Legacy for My Loved Ones

4. Desiring God’s Design That Me and My Man Become One

5. Desiring God to Give Me The Power to Remain Pure

6. Desiring to Give and Receive Love

7. Desiring to Embrace My New Life in Christ

8. Desiring to Become a Woman My Man Can Lead

9. Desiring My Son to Become a Man of Faith

10. Desiring a Miracle to Build a New Foundation of Love

11. Desiring Expressions of Love and Romance in My Marriage

12. Desiring to Believe God Can Change a Man and Save My Marriage

13. Desiring to Glorify God by Showing Honor and Respect

14. Desiring to Surrender My Whole Heart to the Lord

I think there is at least one truth that can help each reader. I have a feeling there might even be more than one. Your marriage is worth the time to read this, and my hope is you put Your Heart’s Desire on your top priority reading list.
