Karens writing style is like getting a daily letter from a friend who already knows my lifes struggles and challenges. She knows just the right thing to say to keep me encouraged and focused on what it takes to live a heart-shaped life. For me, the ultimate test of a devotion though comes when reading todays inspiration makes you look forward to tomorrows. Im looking forward to tomorrow.

The Heart-Shaped Life Daily Devotional reflects the work of someone who has spent time listening to God in ways that have shaped her heart and her work. Karen Moores new book helps us see that when we spend time with God, in His Word, and in His presence, He can mold and shape us to be more like Him.

I started reading Karen Moores devotional and prayer books a couple years ago and now Im hooked. I love the easy way that she reminds me of who I am in Gods eyes and what I can do to be a more kind and gracious person. The Heart-Shaped Life Daily Devotional will change the way you look at the world, one person at a time.

Mark A. Moore, American Heart Association Spokesman, Mark and Brenda Moore Family Foundation, Author: A Stroke of Faith

I have been waiting for a devotional book like The Heart-Shaped Life Daily Devotional.

I cant wait to read more.

Absolutely a must read! It is my calling to assist others in shaping their self-image so that their smiles reflect who they are from deep within. Karen Moores new book powerfully demonstrates how our faith is one of the best tools we have to do this. We can all benefit from The Heart-Shaped Life, and I guarantee it will make you smile!

My dad used to sayand Karen Moore has done a similar thing in reminding us to see the best in others, see them heart-first. Ive been a fan of Karens other devotionals, and I look forward to getting my heart in better shape for the work I do each day.

Tom Ziglar, Proud Son of Zig Ziglar, President of Ziglar Inc.

No matter what any of us do for a living, we only have one calling. That is the calling to become more of the person God designed us to be. For me, and for you, thats a heart issue. What better way to start the day than by enjoying an uplifting and life-shaping thought from Karen Moores new book, The Heart-Shaped Life Daily Devotional. This book will enrich your soul!

Rob Sigg, Entrepreneur, Founder: Weather Nation Channel

Karen Moore is an artist with words. Her newest devotional The Heart-Shaped Life is as delicate and subtle as the beautifully-designed cover. The author, however, is also a pragmatist. This is reflected in her gentle, yet urgent, calls for the reader to be done with the ordinary and to live life with love, exuberance, and godly abandon.
