Publisher's Synopsis
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of death in women in the United States (U.S.) and in many other developed and under-developed countries. The words Issues of the Heart when used in this text refer to conditions that trouble the heart of women and often cause them to be defeated in life. Parallels are made to CVD because the issues, like CVD, are the primary causes of natural and spiritual death in women.Cardiovascular disease generally covers four areas: hypertension (commonly known as high blood pressure), coronary artery disease (commonly called blockage in the arteries of the heart), congestive heart failure (a form of heart attack whereas the heart is unable to pump out the blood returning into it fast enough, thus causing congestion in the veins), and stroke (which is a blockage or breaking of a blood vessel located in the brain which results in loss of movement, speech or consciousness). This text will cover two areas or Issues of the Heart (CVD): hypertension and coronary artery disease.Study suggests that an overwhelming number of women in the United States die every year because of specific cardiovascular diseases. The author suggests that likewise, too many women die annually due to emotional and spiritual issues that trouble the heart. The latest trends in cardiovascular disease mortality over the past three decades show that morbidity in women over age 65 has decreased; on the contrary, CVD associated casualties in women ages 35 - 54 have increased. It is suggested that certain risk factors in the daily lives of women may greatly increase morbidity rates of CVD in the near future. Likewise, paralleling this view, the author suggests that the emotional and spiritual death in women is increasing and aggressively invading the lives of women at younger ages. In addition, risk factors in the daily lives of women contribute to high mortality rates and will foster larger spiritual morbidity raters in the future.It is imperative that Christian women learn to be aware of the risk factors that contribute to these astounding results and begin to diligently learn to cast their cares upon the Lord relieving themselves of emotional and spiritual CVD. There are many examples of women in the Bible who had issues and matters that concerned the heart. God had a remedy for them all and is able to willingly address any issue that concerns you as a woman today.Although we daily hear astounding data, the power of God is not just hovering over us to break yokes in the areas or issues concerning women; but he is moving superlatively upon, in, and through women of God to bring about change as we push forward in the anointing of the Holy Spirit like a mighty wrecking ball against the walls of issues in our lives that invade our peace with poisons that take our lives. We must replace the poisons with the healing salve of the word of God and the power of purpose that gives vision for destiny and life; then the strength and grace of God will lead God's women as we walk through daily life in victory.This text A Woman's Heart (Understanding and Healing Issues of the Heart) focuses on Biblical answers in response to real issues that concern women of today. The author presents analogies, allegories, and anecdotal episodes that parallel conditions of the natural heart and cures, to conditions of the spiritual and emotional heart of women and cures. Biblical scriptures and solutions are covered.The author makes no claim of expertise in analyzing the heart as an anatomical organ, instead only general information is presented in this area.The focus and strength of this work is the presentation of Biblical solutions that parallel spiritual and emotional conditions that concern the heart of women. Avoiding spiritual, emotional, and sometimes physical heart failure has its roots in understanding the Father's love for women since creation. We must first understand who we are which will
