Christine DClario - Prodigal Heart: A Double Life Rescued and Transformed by the Love of the Perfect Father

A prodigal redeemed can change the world. Christine DClarios personal journey captured in Prodigal Heart equips us with a transparent, authentic, beautiful, and life-changing narrative that speaks to every person guilty of falling short and away from Gods purpose. Her revealing contextualization serves as a powerful reminder of Gods grace and sufficiency even when we walk the other way. This book elevates and exposes us to the following: we make it not because we perfectly hold on to God but because God perfectly holds on to us. Christines ministerial trajectory and unbridled success speak to young women who through difficult surroundings discovered that at the end of the day life is not about what we do for God, but rather what God, via the atoning work of Christ, already did for us.

Life is unpredictable, but that doesnt mean that our faith in God and His plans for our lives have to be unpredictable. Prodigal Heart offers practical and authentic answers to rediscovering the way back to our heavenly Fathers arms. Christine DClarios transparency touches the heart of humanity with the unchanging truth of Gods promises. Let her journey of faith inspire and encourage you as you learn to walk closer with God through every season of your life.

AUTHOR, THE HEART REVOLUTION

Christine DClarios account of her journey into the darkness of disappointment and desertion is heartbreaking and yet redemptive. The deep dejection of loss and abandonment she experienced, and the pain it brings, is something we all can relate to. Christine recounts with such honesty and vulnerability the grip grief had on her and helps readers see themselves in her story. We feel the joy of freedom that came as God supernaturally revealed His presence to her and let her know He was always with her even when she felt alone. I highly recommend Prodigal Heart to anyone who feels distant or disappointed in God. This book will encourage you in your own relationship with your heavenly Father. Thank you, Christine, for your candor and openness as you share with us your struggles and the overwhelming love God showed you. Prodigal Heart is a must-read for those who want to understand their grief and find freedom in Gods love.

Christine DClario is known internationally as an anointed psalmist who ushers in the presence of God in an unrivaled way through her worship. Anyone who has ever met her will agree that she is genuinely, passionately in love with Jesus. But when you delve beyond her music into the story of her life, you realize that her journey to the heart of God has been forged in times of great of pain and trial, and the songs she sings are birthed from a real-life encounter with the goodness of a recklessly extravagant heavenly Father. In the pages of Prodigal Heart we find the story of her path from brokenness to wholeness, from hurt to healing, and from bitterness to peace. Her life is a testimony of the grace of God, but this book isnt only an autobiographyProdigal Heart is a must-read resource that anyone who has faced opposition, loss, pain, or regret can use to find freedom through Christ and His Word.

Christines genuine love for Jesus not only resonates through her music; it resounds in her everyday life as well. Her message of restoration and forgiveness is not only powerful but also truly inspiring. This book is now an incredible resource of hope that I will be recommending to many.
