HeartPrints: Celebrating the Power of a Simple Touch

by Sandra P. Aldrich and Bobbie Valentine

Book Overview

Your every smile, every touch, every word of encouragement has a greater impact than you will ever know. Many women incorrectly assume they cannot make a meaningful contribution to the world because they see themselves as "average" and their talents and activities as unimportant or mundane. Yet every woman has talents of immeasurable value: the talent to love, to care, to pray, to serve, to be with someone in need. As a woman, you touch others' lives...

Heartprints

Our church is just beginning a new group for ministry outreach. We were looking for a name and a guidance. This book is perfect!! I recommend it to those searching for ways to help others. Very down-to-earth and practical!

Very encouraging

In my preparation for a workshop I taught on women encouraging each other, I read this book. The stories of average, every-day women accomplishing such amazing things in such seemingly simple ways was very uplifting! To be an effective encourager, one must first feel encouraged. And what a great book to lift the spirit. God loves working with the little things and something so small can be used for great things once God gets His hands on it! This book gives the 'proof in the pudding'. I encouraged the women in my workshop to get this book, to have around if they just need to read something quick to get a boost. That we are instruments of the greatest musician and He can use us if we are willing!Excellent work.

Great devotional help especially when feeling inadequate

Heartprints made me appreciate all the women in my life who have made a difference and gave me the courage to buy the book for one friend and share with her what a difference she makes on a daily basis. This book makes me want to give and do more even if I don't know the end results of my deeds.

A lovely book for night stand reading

I read a few sections of this book each night before bed, it was a terrific way to end the day, thinking about how I might affect someone for Christ the next morning. The stories are about real women with real issues and truly made me feel that if they can encourage someone, so can I.

Be Jesus With Skin On!

This book is full of stories which not only move and inspire, but offer practical insight into how to be an encouragement to others. It shows you that anyone can make a difference, even if they are not "in ministry" or don't feel like a spiritual giant. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and plan to distribute it widely!
