Hope For Your Hurting Heart: A Mature Woman's Powerful Testimony About Clinging to God Amidst Life's Disappointments
Linda Dillow has been serving the Lord courageously and faithfully for decades. She's served as a missionary in some closed countries, as a wise mentor and author helping women spiritually prosper in their marriages, and more recently has suffered some catastrophic personal and familial pains. In spite of it all, she has come out like one of the martyrs in the book of Revelation: faithful, praising God, filled with joy and wisdom. I've quoted several of her books in my own books and seminars, but her most recent book, Hope for My Hurting Heart: Eight Heart Skills to Help You Cling to God and Not Give Up is one of my favorites of hers. It provides practical skills to keep clinging to God amid life's hardships.

Hope for My Hurting Heart
Last year, I mentioned an upcoming book by Linda Dillow. Here’s what I wrote as an endorsement:
“Hope for My Hurting Heart is a treasure and a veritable spiritual
feast! If you read one devotional book this year, make it this one.
If you lead one book study with a small group, choose to go
through this one. Even the heartbreaking stories of faith inspire,
challenge, convict, and bless. Linda’s seasoned faith invites us
into a deeper intimacy with God and a trust in him that will
stand the trials of life. This is Linda’s magnum opus after a
lifetime of writing substantive, enlightening books.”
We’ve been given permission to give you just a small taste of the book (now available) in this week’s blog post. I hope many of you will order the entire book.
