Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Holy Spirit Earns Top Ratings for Heart Surgery! This was an actual newspaper heading I found as I was preparing to write this booklet. I felt it was perfect for the topic at hand. Learn about the similarities between physical heart surgery and spiritual heart surgery as we discuss the pre-op, during and post-op procedures of each. Many times we can neglect our spiritual condition long enough that our heart becomes weak and “disease” can start to take over. We need to trust that God, our Great Physician, can help us with our problem by performing spiritual heart surgery. We have to come to the point of acknowledging that we have a problem though and give consent for this life changing surgery. Do not waste another minute! Give consent today! 






Read about one pastor's wife's journey as she learns to be stretched beyond her comfort zone, facing rejection, invasion and bitterness. Although she fell into the self-pity-I’m-a-victim-nobody-else-matters-it’s-all-about-me trap, she gained the strength to climb out and she began learning what her role was in the ministry. Learning to set boundaries, finding a balance between being a helpmeet, a homeschooling mom and a pastor’s wife, and discovering how to serve and protect her husband, she had to allow the Holy Spirit to do heart surgery on her and bring her to a place of repentance where blessings would abound. Included are interviews with other pastors’ wives revealing their own heartfelt thoughts. In this behind the scenes view, you will be reminded that communication is the key to get through the many unforeseen events that can come your way in the ministry and life in general.

In The Secrets Behind the Eyes, JoEllen Claypool explores the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences of abortion. She weaves in her own story and struggle with Post Abortion Syndrome to provide a better understanding of the aftermath of this choice. The author challenges the reader to take the time to look behind the eyes of the people they meet stating, “There are many people who cross our paths, whose lives have been affected by abortion. If you could find the combination to the safe behind those eyes, you could enter a dimension that nobody has ever visited.” There are countless hurting people entangled in the chains of their past that are aching to be set free. The information in this book will enable the reader to help in that healing process. 
The Secrets Behind the Eyes also offers hope to those who have been through this experience and are anxious to live a life without condemnation. Leviticus 26:13b states “I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with your heads held high.” This book will help post-abortive women understand that they are not alone. It will supply them with confidence and boldness to speak up and tell their own story so that even more lives can be saved.
