Product Description

What do you do with all the ugly, embarrassing things in your life? We all have them whether or not we can admit it. In The Zippered Heart, popular author and Women of Faith speaker Marilyn Meberg explains that spiritual and emotional well-being require us to acknowledge the less-than-attractive, often shameful aspects of our character that we often try to hide. Meberg believes to admit our weakness is to invite the divine power of God to conquer them. With hope and humor, this book is an important reminder that there is nothing God can't heal.

Insight, intelligence, and compassion in all walks of life
I am constantly impressed by the brilliance of Marilyn Meberg. In her latest book "The Zippered Heart," she tactfully tackles many issues that Christians face today, unwrapping the concept of living free from guilt, resisting temptation, and unlocking the truth to set your soul in flight. By revealing some of her "darker intentions" she makes us realize that those black thoughts and shameful memories and ideas that we hold "just to the left of the zipper" are the same guilt and fears that plague all mankind; that we are not something to be ashamed of, but rather a daughter of the King.

Gently treading on painful issues and areas of life, she unwraps the mysteries of the heart like a velvet ribbon, and when the last page is turned and the book lain aside, we remember the freedom we have been given in Christ, and the journey that lies before us toward learning to forgive ourselves. Long-time fans of Marilyn will not be surprised or insulted by some of the examples she uses to prove her point, having already become familiar with her sometimes dark but appealing sense of humor. But for those who have never read "the rapscallion brilliance" of Marilyn Meberg before, I suggest you begin with "I'd Rather Be Laughing."

Excellent book
First time I read a book by Marilyn. This book was so helpful in explaining why I think & do the way I think and do. The bottom line is in the book and the bottom line is always the same. Don't try to find the answer anywhere else. If you're considering this book buy it - you won't be sorry. It was insightful & a huge blessing to me.

You Have Got To Get To Know This Author!!!!
I just love Marilyn Meberg. The really cool thing is that I have actually seen her speak several times over the last several years. She is truly an inspiration. If anyone has a right to be down, it would be this woman...but she chooses a life of joy, love, and encouraging the women around her. I own each of her books (At least I think I do), and I have been blessed by them all. I highly recommend this read!!!!
