What readers are saying …

I met Renee Swope at a women;s Christmas event at my church in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. At first I had no intention of buying a book but felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to stand in line and get an autographed copy. What I didn’t know then was how it would impact my life. Through this book God has shown me so much! I’ve learned that worship is simply to adore God. Ive learned that I didnt truly have Him in the first place and that I let other things and other people go before Him. I was looking for love in all the wrong places and realize now that God gave me a hole in my heart so I can go directly to Him to fill it. I’ve learned to forgive and ask for forgiveness even when it was hard. I’ve learned who I am in Christ and that I can be confident in all things because He is with me. Thank you Renee for your obedience to Him and though you may have faced challenges when putting this book together, you were able to complete it. It has pointed me right back to Jesus and helped me to understand in a practical way His love for me. — Lisa

I went to the book store to get a certain book (not A Confident Heart) but then I saw this book and remembered reading about it through P31 daily devotionals and the website. I walked away from it several times but kept coming back. Finall, I thought I might as well get it because I love to read.  Now I think God was calling me back every time! I started reading it before the other books I purchased that day and I HAVE NEVER READ A BOOK I CAN RELATE TO LIKE “A CONFIDENT HEART.” It has hit every emotion, insecurity and doubt that I have felt in my life and continue to feel! I praise God for pulling me back to this book! It is helping me… every word, phrase, paragraph & chapter at a time!! — Sunny

A Confident Heart showed me how much self-doubt affects EVERY area of my life. This book encouraged me, equipped me and changed me! Honestly, I think everyone should read it! — Jill B., IA

Rich with the truth of God’s love, compassion, patience, and never-ending supply of power, this book moved me from looking at my past with sorrow to living my future rooted and grounded in the confidence of Christ. — Danielle J., NC

Through A Confident Heart Renee reminded me that I may fail God, but He will NEVER fail me. I love the scriptures woven into prayers at the end of each chapter. They hold such a wealth of truth! I will continue to use them as daily prayers. — Joy B., Ontario

A Confident Heart gave me courage and clarification to believe in my calling. I now see beauty in my brokenness — something I only saw in everyone else. God used it to help me to see myself as beautiful in a way I’d not ever seen before. — Cris N., CA

I practically highlighted whole chapters. Renee helped me see that “The God of all hope is calling me out of the shadow of my doubts so I can live with a confident heart!” — Melinda T., OR

A Confident Heart moved me from believing what God says about me, to receiving it and living in it. Renee taught me is how to “fail forward” by learning from my mistakes and leaving them behind for good — along with my guilt, shame and worry! — Lisa S., TX

Renee helped me see that “salvation is a one-time decision, but finding satisfaction in Christ and living in the security of His promises is a daily process.” I will read A Confident Heart over and over to keep it fresh in my heart and mind. — Margaret S., NC

Reading A Confident Heart helped me realize that I’m not alone in my insecuritise. I am normal, loved, accepted, and approved by a mighty God. — Tammy N., KY

I received A Confident Heart the week I found out my mom was in her final days on earth. I ended up reading chapters out loud to her! The message was so powerful. The scriptures were right there. I would say, “Mom, listen to this!” Renee’s words lifted my heart and carried me through. — Kirsten S., PA
