What drives us to act the way and say the things we do? We
all come from different backgrounds and different experiences, but at the heart
of this shared human experience we call life are our desires for significance,
security, intimacy, success, and spirituality.
Understanding the drive behind our actions and words leads
the way to change. In Secret Longings of
the Heart, Carol Kent discusses each of these desires, or passions as she
calls them. Chapters include “Secret Passions—Destructive, Honorable, or Holy?,”
“Why Me? Why This? Why Now?,” “I Blew It Again!,” and “Me—God’s Woman?”.
I found this book very helpful in bringing focus to my battle
with self-confidence, and leading the way to overcome it. I read the 1991
edition. The newest edition (2003) includes a 12-week Bible study.
