I have just recently discovered your book, Desire. It has been a God-send and just a healing for my soul... so I wanted to express my deepest thanks and praise for your ability to reiterate the heart of God to His people.

The last few months have been the hardest of my life. Everything fell apart, one piece at a time, in every single area of my life. I have been in relationship with my Jesus for many years now, but never have I experienced the hurt and betrayal as I have this past season. After seeing your book and, honestly, just really liking the cover, I decided I needed a new book to read and well, it has opened my eyes to so much.

I was never really taught that my life couldn't be what I wanted it to be... we get the desires of our hearts so, the childhood mantra of "you can be anything you want to be" was truth. After reading your book and realizing that I can't just create the life that I want, I was set free from all the pain and hurt and confusion. It has been so unbelievably liberating to just trust in the Lord! And how silly it all sounds, knowing that I've walked with Him for so long, yet failed to really see that my life belongs to HIM, and not to me! Should this not have been one of the first things I was taught? Should this not have been a foundational truth for my life in Christ?!

I bought several copies of your book and gave it out to all my friends, in church and out. I am also leading a small group study at our church. There have already been requests to have a second class once this one is finished.

Thank you so, so much for speaking truth and being vulnerable and transparent with your life... with your aches and pains and failures. I love real people. And that's just what you are. Thank you.
