Journey of the Heart

Journey of the Heart is the long-awaited story of Janet McLean. Janet, now twenty-two years old, has matured and grown in the Lord. She has many longings, struggles, and questions that she must face with the help of the Lord and her parents. Will anyone ever want to court her? How should she handle her desires for a husband and family of her own? When she finds herself attracted to a young man, what should she do? This is the honest account of a young woman who is still waiting on the Lord.

In the Introduction, the author writes, "God has laid a burden on my heart for young women, and my prayer is that this book will be a blessing to those who read it, encouraging them to live completely surrendered to the Lord." — Jeannie Castleberry
 
“I can so clearly sense the godliness in the way it was written. I loved reading it because of the way that Janet has a devoted heart to God but yet is so human at the same time. It was so easy to relate to her—it was like her thought process was my own!” Pennsylvania

“. . . Wonderful, delightfully written! With each turn of the page it was as if I was reliving in a similar way the path the Lord chose for me to walk this past year . . . a path of suffering nearer to God’s heart.” California

“One thing I could not get over was how real it was. What a treat to get to read this book, this glimpse into your own heart. Journey of the Heart resonated with honesty. I liked how her parents interacted with her. I thought that was excellent. I appreciated that her struggle is so real—it does not instantly go away when she tells her parents about it, yet that was definitely the right choice. Janet comes full circle and though her struggles aren’t over, she knows Who strengthens her.”
— Natalie Nyquist, author of Quest for the High Places

"I was really impressed with your book! Of all the books I have read regarding boy-girl relationships, yours comes the closest to the way I was raised." New York
