What does man seek in religion, and what should he seek in it? How does God reveal Himself in order to bring man to a knowledge of the Truth? How does suffering help this revelation to occur? These and other questions were discussed by Fr. Seraphim Rose, an Orthodox Christian monk from the mountains of northern California, during a lecture he gave at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1981. The contents of this lecture comprise God's Revelation to the Human Heart. Drawing from a variety of sources -- the Holy Scriptures, patristic writings, the lives of both ancient and modern saints, and accounts of persecuted Christians behind the Iron Curtain -- Fr. Seraphim goes to the core of all Christian life: the conversion of the heart of man, which causes it to bum with love for Christ and transforms one into a new being.

The Bible reveals glorious things. And yet we often miss its power because we read it the same way we read any other book. In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author. In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love. With insights into the biblical text drawn from decades of experience studying, preaching, and teaching Scripture, Piper helps us experience the transformative power of God's Word—a power that extends beyond the mere words on the page. Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something supernatural happens: we encounter the living God.

God has placed deep longings in the heart of every human being, longings for beauty, greatness, fascination, intimacy, to be enjoyed, to be wholehearted, to make a lasting impact. Many of us have been taught to deny these longings. We've been told they are not of God. But the problem is not the longings--they are given of God and cannot be denied. Problems arise when we attempt to fulfill godly legitimate longings in ungodly, wrong ways.Only God can fulfill the longings He has given us. When we realize that our longings are godly and that God wants to fulfill them, we find freedom and joy. We experience intimacy with God in ways we never thought possible.

The biblical word “heart” has been to some degree a mystery in the body of Christ. Did you know that “Jesus” is in the Bible 983 times, “Father” (God) 979 times, and “heart” 830 times? This clearly signifies that the biblical word “heart” is important to God. Humankind has two types of hearts, a physical heart and a spiritual heart. In the Bible, “heart” refers to our spiritual hearts, not the physical heart. Though most people in the Body of Christ touch their chests when referring to the biblical word “heart”, the spiritual heart is not in the chest. The spiritual heart is the soul (mind, will, emotions). Physically, it is located inside of your head. The purpose of this book is to gain a better understanding of our spiritual hearts. Our ultimate goal is to demystify the biblical word “heart.” This book will provide comprehensive knowledge by God inspired spiritual visual aids and revelation of scripture. As we all know, there is plenty of information on the physical heart but very little information on the spiritual heart. For instance, we know that your physical heart is located inside your chest and pumps blood throughout your body. We also know that exercising and eating right will make your physical heart healthy. Where is your spiritual heart located? What is the purpose of your spiritual heart? What makes your spiritual heart healthy? This book will provide answers to these questions and many other inquiries you may have concerning your “Spiritual Heart”.
