Welcome to the
openhearted revolution!

Tired of living a bitter, closed off life? Sick of letting the hurt from the past torment your today? The Wall Around Your Heart will help you let go of relational pain in a healthy way so you can live the openhearted, joy-infused life you’ve longed for.

Overview

Family members hurt us. Friends betray us. Fellow Christians deceive us. But Jesus provides a path through the pain—and it might surprise you:
the Lord’s Prayer.

In The Wall Around Your Heart, Mary DeMuth shows you that you can reach wholeness and healing in the aftermath of painful relationships by following the road map of the Lord’s Prayer. You’ll walk through story after story of hurt people who are led through biblical truth into amazing, life-sustaining, joyful growth.

Life is hard. People can be mean and petty and awful. But they can also be amazing and beautiful and sacrificial. God is good. He is faithful. You can trust him with your relationships. “He’ll send people to call out what is hard in your heart,” Mary shares. “And that’s a gift to you.”

Allow God to access the wall around your heart. Dare to say, “Tear down the bricks, Lord, whatever it takes.” Pray first. Ask for bravery—for yourself and for others. Risk engaging despite your hurt. Seek the shelter of Jesus.

You don’t have to resign yourself to your wounds! You can rise above the pain. You’ll usher in a new life—an openhearted way of relating to others that expands the kingdom of God. In the process, you’ll draw closer to Jesus, be healed, and become an agent of healing to others.

Tear down that wall! Learn how to become openhearted today.

The Author

Mary DeMuth is an author and speaker who loves to help people live uncaged, freedom-infused lives. She’s the author of fifteen books, including six novels and her critically acclaimed memoir, Thin Places. After church planting in Southern France, Mary, her husband, and their three young adult kids now live in the burbs of Dallas.

She lived the message of this book the hard way, enduring relational pain, building walls, and suffering in solitude. Jesus sweetly brought her through, broke down her many walls, and ushered her into welcome-hearted living.

(And just in case you think she’s got it all together...she still pushes against bitterness, and those pesky walls keep trying to rebuild. In a way, she wrote this book so you would keep her accountable. We’re all on this journey together.)

"My heart for you in this journey we’ll be taking together is this:
Be loved. Be wildly and audaciously loved." — Mary
