ABOUT JIM ROBBINS
__________________________________________________________
Thanks for connecting! I am a former pastor, turned writer, who writes for those who are hungry for more --wanting restoration of heart and life -- and aren't satisfied with pop Christianity. It's not about morality (as good as that is) or right behavior and sin management. It's about something else. A restored heart.

New book -- Recover Your Good Heart:
Many Christians feel guilty that they're not enough -- not enough for others, not enough for the Church, not enough for God. They've been told they're not committed enough, loving enough, spiritual enough. Shame and guilt are the painful results. What does God really think about your heart? What if you believed your heart was already good, already holy? This book offers a way out of the shame and guilt of never good-enough. Includes stories of Christians whose church experiences left them feeling ashamed and believing they weren't good-enough.

How is this book different? Though Recover Your Good Heart is grace-based, it is different than the vast majority of books out there that attempt to set people free from the trappings of religious, performance-based Christianity. Recover Your Good Heart goes a step further and suggests that grace-- reduced to pardoning a person's sinful mess-- won't result in the transformation we seek. Grace must give a person a new, radiant, and supernaturally-good heart; so that the person now wants what God wants at the deepest level of their being. Only then can they be free of the 'shoulds' and 'oughts' of religious performance.

Before Jim decided to write/speak:
During the late ’90’s, I was asked by author and futurist, Leonard Sweet, to serve on a ministry consulting team Sweet was forming. Additionally, I've also led and trained worship design teams before transitioning into a writing/speaking ministry.
Before this, I led several retreats to help men recover their hearts and find their place in the Story.
