    About this audiobook

    What's hiding in your heart? Deep down, every woman longs to feel loved and secure. We may think we look to God for these things, but in reality we often run to food, Facebook, or friendship first. Worshipping God's gifts is idolatry. And idolatry destroys intimacy with God and steals our joy. In this audio book, author Dee Brestin brings unfailing principles and vivid testimonies - from Scripture, her own life, and the lives of women who have tested these truths and are excited to tell about their transformations. She also presents an in-depth Bible study and access to downloadable teaching videos and testimonies to guide you, step-by-step, to freedom and a life-changing intimacy with the True Lover of your soul.

      We pray for a variety of reasons: it is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38) and obeying Him (Phil 4:6-7). We pray to demonstrate our faith in God, but most importantly, because Jesus did it. Prayers not prayed will be prayers unanswered. If the Syri

      Wonderful! Helped me to see my own short comings. God inspired.

      Dee Brestin presents new insights into several familiar Bible stories and discusses heart idols which are invisible but do impact our walk with God. She identifies three but tends to focus on Control/Power in her examples and her own stories. I found it to be a very convicting study.
