With her latest book, The Performing Heart: How to Escape the Trap of Relentless Performing and Enter the Security of God’s Rest, Susan Bowman offers a unique heart-based approach to overcoming the two most common causes of persistent anxiety: performing for acceptance and parentification.
This powerful, 143-page book is a combination of meaningful scripture, scientific research, and practical wisdom that shines light on the beliefs that compel anxious, unhealthy behaviors. As a rule, books about this topic focus on changing behaviors. This book does not. It focuses on why the behaviors exist by uncovering the hidden beliefs fueling the anxiety. Then it teaches how to bring these secrets buried within the heart to God so that they can be resolved. This approach results in lasting healing and freedom, making a secure and restful relationship with God and others a reality.
Drawing from over 20 years of experience as a minister of inner healing, Bowman teaches that the heart is both a thinking part of the body and a spiritual center. She explains that a heart-first approach to life helps people overcome the compulsion to fix everything, the need to impress others, and the haunting sense of not being good enough, as well as many other issues that plague our anxious society.
With empowering Bible verses, step-by-step prayers, and compelling prompts for deep reflection, this book has the power to shift perspectives, open hearts, and change lives for the better.
