The heart is the essence of our life. Just as there is a physical death of the heart, there is a parallel process for the spiritual heart. Everyone is susceptible to the warning signs which, if not treated, can cause a spiritual falling away that causes the heart for God to stop beating. Inspired by his life and pastoral experiences, Dr. Frank J. DeLeo shares a roadmap showing the path leading to life, identifies the choices that create a hardened heart (suffering, psychological, cultural, spiritual, corruption, and poor perception), and provides a blueprint for reversing that relationship after spiritual death has occurred by trusting in God the Father through his Son, Jesus Christ, who can and will lead those struggling with their faith to restoration and healing from pain and brokenness. CPR for the Heart: A Spiritual Journey from Death to Life is a unique exploration of what causes the heart to stop, particularly when it stops believing, searching, caring, and pursuing God. " ... This book drives home the truth that without mystery, wonder, and imagination, we cannot gain a fulfilling relationship with our Creator." -Danny Smith, pastor and Bible teacher
