Why Renovation? Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ~ 1Corinthians 3:16-17 Renovation is the process of working with Christ to repair the emotional damage our souls have suffered, and to remove the trash of worldly thinking that has accumulated over the years so that we may live victorious lives in Christ. What this book will teach you to do: Remove the causes of ongoing emotional pain that manifest in feelings of worthlessness, rejection, bitterness, trust issues, addictions, self-hatred, anger, fear, hopelessness and depression. Remove beliefs, values, attitudes, vows, and agreements with things opposed to God and His characteristics of love, mercy and holiness that result in sin. These things, having been set in motion at some point in our lives, continue to bear fruit today, even though we belong to Christ. Like Paul, we find ourselves doing the very things we hate. So the workmen labored, and the repair work progressed in their hands, and they restored the house of God according to its specifications and strengthened it. ~ 2Chronicles 24:13

As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.

Revive Your Whole Self: Spiritually, Mentally, and Emotionally Burned out? Exhausted? Feeling isolated and like there’s no end in sight? Find hope, direction, and a path to renewed life. Ignite Your Soul is a lifeline to help you restore your spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being and navigate the complex landscape of soul care within the communities you live and serve in. Whether you seek refreshment for yourself or those you lead, you’ll explore six key practices that lead to whole-self flourishing: attention, participation, delight, humility, silence, and rest. In December 2021, Mindy and her husband, Jeff, bore witness to a wildfire’s relentless advance on their Colorado property dedicated to spiritual rest and retreat. The devastation of that fire underscored the realization that mirrored the parched reality of many people’s souls. So many of us are exhausted and overwhelmed, and we feel alone, silently struggling with addiction, busyness, distractions, fear, and apathy. Ignite Your Soul walks through the journey from pre-burnout to destruction and the path to healings so that you can walk out of your own ashes and into practices like journaling, prayer, and a rule of life and more, to thrive no matter what you face. Ignite Your Soul is a lifeline to help you restore your spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being within the communities you life and serve in.
