Synopsis "Mind Your Heart"
How do you come back to yourself after losing yourself in a man? When you stray from God, how do you return?In this unashamedly candid memoir, first-time author Liza Mitchell recalls the time of her life when she did just this, pursuing the love of a man at her church, relentlessly and fervently, at the expense of her relationship both to herself and God.Against her better judgement, Liza begins to find herself unerringly compelled by Sean, a local man who attends her church. This leads her to embark on a tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship with him, despite his non-committal ways and the un-Christlike tendencies he often exhibits. This leads to her own un-Christlike behaviours, ultimately culminating in an incident where she travels to check in on his house when he's not there, against his wishes. This is followed by a great deal of remorse, leading to her struggling with whether to return to her church singing group-or church, generally.Through faith and hard work, though, Liza is able to recover her relationship to herself and God. Ultimately, hers is a heartening message bolstered by her Christian faith, affirming God's love as capable of clearing the conscience. After all, Jesus died for our sins.
