A summary of this book:

We all desire freedom, yet often remain unsure of how to attain it. Our lives are plagued with feelings of pride, insecurity, self-hatred, addiction, and fear, while past wounds persist despite our efforts to move on. We find ourselves caught in endless cycles, without knowing how to break free. However, Jesus provides a way out. He offers freedom and a personal relationship that starts by transforming our hearts. Through His guidance, we become aware of our inner selves and allow His Word to purify and renew our hearts. This book acts as a "heart compass," directing us towards the right path. It includes relatable stories, timeless principles, and practical guidance that all point towards Jesus - the only one capable of true healing.

What did you like about the book?  

For starters how easy the book is to understand. Very easy to follow the trail of thought with the examples at the end of each chapters which flesh out the principles. Over and above the tools to which we’ve been given to equip for freedom in Christ.

What did you not like about this book?  

Nothing – I enjoyed every bit of it
