What if you were told there’s a possibility you would not be
alive to see this afternoon or wake up tomorrow morning?
Do you think you would live differently? How would this reality
affect every single moment of the life you have been given?
Julie Manning was in the middle of giving birth to her second child
when doctors noticed an irregularity in her heartbeat. Within
six weeks, tests revealed it was no one-time occurrence. This
ultra-capable mom, wife, marathon runner, and pediatric nurse
practitioner was in active heart failure, finding herself at risk
for experiencing a sudden cardiac death.
My Heart is the first-person account of Julie’s journey
from then to now—from a healthy woman’s normal expectations and
self-reliance to the surrendering of her dreams, plans, and deepest
desires into the hands of our unchanging God. Part retelling and
reflection, part in-the moment prayer journal, her story takes you
with honest vulnerability into the jaws of fear and suffering, and
speaks realistic hope into your own story, leaving you with
well-fought, well-placed confidence for the road ahead. It’s what
her heart would like to say to you . . . about the faithful,
loving, impeccably trustworthy heart of God.
