STAINED GLASS HEARTS BY PATSY CLAIRMONT

Thomas Nelson Publishers have once again blessed me by sending a complimentary copy of a book to review. The latest book I have to review is STAINED GLASS HEART by Patsy Clairmont. Patsy has the gift of encouragment as she writes this new book comparing our fragile and often broken hearts to the beauty of stained glass. he gives us examples of her own broken moments and how God reached down to repair her heart and make it into something beautiful from the broken pieces. Patsy is both a best selling author and Women of Faith Speaker. She writes just the wasandy she speaks as she encourages thousands of women at Women of Life conferences through out the country. This 192 page book is devided into 13 chapters of of stories of renewal, scriptures, action ideas that include web sites and places of interest to help us on our journey. The comparison of our hearts to stained glass windows is a stroke of genius as we think of every broken and jagged piece of our broken hearts and see the beautiful glass works from a distance as artists make mosaics of broken bits of colored stones and glass. Our artist is Jesus and he is the ultimate healer of our broken hearts when we accept Him into our hearts and allow Him to enlarge our hearts to the beauty that comes from having a servant's heart. This book is thought provoking and has dozens of scriptures and tips to help us as we live our lives sparkling as a stained glass window.
