The Heavy Heart: And the Unexpected Place of Healing, Guernsey, Hardcover

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves facing rejection. This can come from family members, friends, work, significant others--no matter the origin of the rejection, however, the end result stings, making us question our self-worth and if we will be able to find the acceptance we so desperately seek. Author Brandon Johnson struggled with rejection throughout his life, which led to other struggles, but the rejections that devastated him actually eventually led to his healing.

The Heavy Heart and the Unexpected Place of Healing: Guernsey by Brandon Johnson tells the author's story of finding the healing acceptance of God in a circumstance and location which otherwise screamed of failure and inadequacy. Taking the reader on a journey through his time in the United States Air Force and his many experiences both domestic and abroad, Brandon explains how God met him in his darkest moments and restored him, even when he felt like he'd gone past the point of no return.

Drawing illustrations to stories in the Bible, Brandon shares his story to bring hope to other men who are battling their own challenges while waiting for the Lord to bring them through to the other side. He encourages readers not to miss opportunities the Lord is trying to bring them into because of fear but instead to lead the way by exemplifying Christ in their lives and fully embracing the spiritual transformation that awaits them.
Brandon Johnson is a veteran and human relations specialist. It is his continual desire through receiving his master of human relations degree from the University of Oklahoma in combination with his current pursuit of a master of arts in Christian leadership from Grand Canyon University - Seminary College to pave the direction of personal growth through leading people to be fully devoted followers of Christ.
