Above All Else: My Heart, My Responsibility (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798993678900)

What if the condition of your heart is shaping more of your life than you realize?

In a world full of pressure, noise, and constant distraction, it's easy for the heart to drift-often without us noticing. In this insightful and deeply practical book, Jon Norman, lead pastor of SOUL Church in Norwich, UK, invites readers to slow down and take an honest look at what's happening beneath the surface.

Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and years of pastoral leadership, Norman explores how the state of the heart influences our decisions, relationships, faith, and future. With humour, vulnerability, and biblical wisdom, he helps readers recognize unhealthy patterns, confront hidden attitudes, and realign their hearts with God's purpose.

Through chapters such as "The Incline of the Heart", "The Hard Heart", "The Pure in Heart", and "The Broken Heart", readers are guided on a journey of reflection and restoration. Each chapter addresses a different condition of the heart, offering practical insight and spiritual clarity for navigating real-life challenges. From cultivating discernment and gratitude to understanding desire, wholeness, and freedom, this book provides a framework for lasting inner transformation.

Written for Christians at every stage of faith, this book is especially relevant for those who feel spiritually stuck, emotionally worn down, or hungry for deeper authenticity in their walk with God. Whether read personally or in a small group setting, it offers encouragement, conviction, and hope.

This is a call to live wholeheartedly-to guard the heart, shape it with wisdom, and experience the freedom that comes from aligning it fully with God.
