Book Description
"The Sacred Heart is, as Simeon prophesied of Jesus Himself, 'Signum cui contradicetur.' Like the title of His Blessed Mother, who is in very truth 'Mother of God, ' it has drawn to itself all the assaults of heresy. For it is a divine test of faith in the mystery of the Word made Flesh, 'ut revelentur ex multis cordibus cogitationes.' Those who have trusted with a yearning hope that the faith of Englishmen, in the Incarnation at least, was firm and clear were saddened and silenced when the pilgrimage to Paray-le-Monial elicited from some of the highest sources of the established religion a profession of simple Nestorianism. It was then that the first fifty pages in this book were published. Having been out of print for some time, they are now reprinted, as the doctrinal foundation of all that follows. The devotion of the Sacred Heart has two aspects: the one as the centre of all dogma; the other as the source of the deepest devotion. In this latter aspect it reveals to us the personal love of our Divine Redeemer towards each and every one for whom He died. It is a manifestation of His pity, tenderness, compassion, and mercy to sinners and to penitents. Nevertheless, its chief characteristic and its dominant note is His disappointment at the returns we make to Him for His love, and above all, His divine displeasure at the faults and sins of those who are specially consecrated at His service. He seems to be sadly upbraiding us with the three doubting questions which He put to Peter, 'Lovest thou Me?' and to be looking upon us as He turned and looked on him, when he had thrice denied his Master. Into this part of the devotion of the Sacred Heart I have not ventured. It has already been treated so profusely by others, and by many of whom I have only to learn; it is in itself so deep and intimately related to the personal life and mind of each, that I have always felt it better to use but few suggestive words rather than to draw out devotional acts, which to the writer are no doubt spontaneous, natural, and real, but to the reader may be a burden like Saul's armour to David. In the following pages, therefore, I have intentionally confined myself to the dogmatic side of the devotion; and for the following reasons. I believe firmly that when divine truth is fully and duly apprehended it generates devotion; that one cause of shallowness in the spiritual life is a superficial apprehension of the dogma of the Incarnation; and that one divine purpose in the institution and diffusion of the devotion of the Sacred Heart, in these last times, is to reawaken in the minds of men the consciousness of their personal relation to a Divine Master. He has foretold the dimness and coldness of these latter days: 'The Son of Man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on the earth? (S. Luke xviii. 8.)' 'Because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold (S. Matt. xxiv. 12).' In that day the disciples of the Sacred Heart at least will 'know whom they have believed.'"--

Book Description
The human mind is deceitful above every other part of the human anatomy! Someone said that it is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it? Most people think that when the Bible speaks of the heart of men: it is speaking of the physical heart organ which pomps blood throughout the human body! This is a misconception of the meaning of the word! However, there is one place within the scriptures where it does refer to the physical heart organ and that is where Jesus was talking with his disciples concerning the signs of the end times: he told them that one of the signs would be that men's hearts (physical organ - muscle) would fail them because of the evils that was coming upon the earth! In this book however, I focus on the mind of humans; which in scripture the heart is symbolic to the mind! This fact need to be understood today as many do not comprehend this fact! Just as Jesus explained to his disciples the fact that what a man eat or take within his body cannot defile him as it do not enter his mind: likewise, what comes out of the man, that is his mind: does not come from within his physical heart muscle but from within his mind, his intellect, his innermost being; thus defiling the man! We have been led to believe, that our thoughts and emotions lie within the physical heart muscle but this simply isn't true! The purpose of the physical heart muscle is only to circulate the lifeblood of humans and animals throughout the body as the life of all flesh is the blood thereof!This is why God forbid the eating of meat with the blood still in it! While the opposite is true of Satanist, who drink the blood humans and animals as they know that therein is the life of all flesh! The human mind is so awesome that even science cannot comprehend it! they have studied, dissected, reasoned together with the so called most brillant minds in the world but yet science cannot understand the human mind! God alone knows the human mind for it is he who designed it! The human mind is at enmity aginst God; it is hostile towards God nor can it know the things of God for they are of a spiritual nature! Jesus told a man once that came to him by night: that the human mind must be converted to know the things of God. Humans must be in essence born-again by the Spirit of God. The human mind must be renewed by the word of God that one might find that good, and perfect will of God! Jesus said that from out of the mind of humans proceed every wicked and evil attitude which defile the human! God destroyed the world by water in Noah's lifetime because of the "Wickedness within The Human Heart!" The earth is defiled by the inhabitants thereof, in other words, because of the wickedness of the hearts of humans, which result to wicked acts, which cause violence within the world! It was the cause in the generations of Noah; and likewise it is the cause in our generation! If you pick up any newspaper in any country in the world today, it will be filled with violence and bloodshed: nation fighting against nation, kingdom against kingdom. Wickedness and evil has once again filled this earth with violence because of the heart (mind) of humans! Jesus said that when he returned to this earth the second time that the world would be in the same identical state it was in the days of Noah, before the flood; then he said that the flood came upon the people of that time, suddenly and unexpectedly and took them all away. Only Noah, and his family and two of every clean and unclean beast of the earth, fowl of the air was saved alive, and that, to preseve seed to repopulate the world that we now dwell in! God destroyed the world that then was by water but this time: this present evil world, will be destroyed by fire! It is all because of the evil and wickedness that is within the human heart! God promises all who come to him by faith in Jesus Christ: a new heart, and a new spirit! The human heart must be converted or one will suffer eternal damnation!

Book Description
It is with the heart that we believe. When we receive Jesus into our hearts, we are declared His own and are transformed into His likenessinto a new person in Christ. The sad reality is that while many Christians truly believe, they struggle to find a clear picture of how spiritual transformation is to take place in their life. Over and over, the Bible points to the heart as the agent of our transformation, but the scriptures do not refer to the physical heart beating in our chests. But could they? What if the physical heart could serve as a compelling model of spiritual development and transformation? Drawing from examples in scripture as well as her own challenges with grasping the concept of spiritual transformation, in The Anatomy of The Heart, JaNeen Dancy challenges readers to take a closer look at the physical heart for insightful analysis of the spiritual heart. The hearts at the center of our physical life and spiritual life may be more similar than we know, and a greater understanding of one may lead to a deeper understanding, and ultimate victory, in the other.

Book Description
"My heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill." "The heart has reason that reason cannot know." "The more I get to know President Putin, the more I get to see his heart and soul." The heart not only drives our physical life, but throughout human history it has also been viewed at the seat of our deepest emotions. It has figured hugely--if metaphorically--in nearly every aspect of human civilization and as the unending subject of literature, music, and art. Yet until now there has not been a study of this paramount icon of love. Ole Hoystad ably fills this enormous gap with a fascinating investigation into this locus of grief, joy, and power. Firmly positioning the heart at the metaphorical and literal center of human culture and history, Hoystad weaves history, myth, and science together into a compelling narrative. He combs through religions and philosophies from the beginning of civilization to explore such disparate historical points as the Aztec ritual of removing the still-beating heart from a living sacrificial victim and offering it to the gods; homosexuality and the heart in Greek antiquity; European attempts to employ alchemy in service of the mysteries of love; and the connections between the heart and wisdom in Sufism. Hoystad charts how the heart has signified our essential desires, whether for love and passion in the medieval excesses of troubadour poetry and chivalric idealism, the body-soul dualism propounded by the Enlightenment, or even the modern notions of individualism expressed in the works of such thinkers as Nietzsche, Foucault, and Joseph Campbell. A provocative examination of the deepest vaults of our souls and the efforts of the many lonely hunters who have tried to unlock its secrets, A History of Heart upends the cliches to reveal a symbol of our fundamental humanity whose beats can be felt in every aspect of our lives.
