Heart to Heart—The Journey Inward
Author: Robert P. Vande Kappelle

Release Date: 2023-01-20
Whether religiously theists, atheists, agnostics, or simply seekers, each of us is on a journey of faith, spiraling through stages, seasons, or phases of spirituality. On this journey, we discover that spirituality is more caught than taught, and that faith, enriched more by subtraction than by addition, is more about unlearning than learning. At the center of Jesus' life and message stands the exhortation to receive and share divine love. The two volumes of Heart to Heart, excerpted from Dr. Vande Kappelle's published writings, examine the meaning and implications of the biblical Great Commandment to love God and others as oneself. This volume examines the spiritual journey inward, and its companion volume, the journey outward. Ultimately there is only one spiritual journey--the journey Godward--and there is only one commandment. Divine love is the key to everything. Unloved people misbehave, fail to love, or fail to change. Loved people aren't concerned with rules, regulations, or beliefs. Rather, because they are loved, they take proper care of themselves, and in so doing, care for nature and others as extensions of themselves. Heart to Heart is written for those who affirm the value of lifelong spiritual growth, realize the limits of logic, and embrace the paradoxes in life. If you are willing to commit less than ten minutes a day over a seven-month period, you will undertake a spiritual journey of epic proportions, guaranteed to transform you morally and spiritually. In addition, you will come to embrace Christianity as the transformative movement envisioned by Jesus for humanity, a way of life grounded in compassion, justice, service, humility, and love of others.

The Journey Inward
It is safe to say that we are entering some of the most difficult times on earth that we have ever known, and as Christians we need to examine our relationship with Jesus. Do we really know Him? This book is a journey of discovery—a journey inward—that will show us where we really are in our walk with God. This last century has seen many Christians in first-world countries enjoy a comfortable walk with God, which has sadly enabled a lukewarm lifestyle. Will this get us through the next chapter we are globally about to enter as a Church and as individuals—as the world changes daily before our eyes, as our comforts are removed, and as many are left stranded in financial distress, broken relationships, and other hardships? The Journey Inward will help believers refocus during this time. It is a clarion call to show us what is most important in life. Jesus must come first and all else second. But how do we find Him amidst our chaotic, self-focused, and noisy lives? It’s time to take the journey inward, which is probably one of the most important steps you’ll take in the direction toward God.
