NASHVILLE, Tenn. April, 2013, Holy Fire Publishing (www.christianpublish.com (http://www.christianpublish.com/)) releases “The Broken Heart of God” (Paperback, U.S. $12.95, ISBN: 978-1-60383-462-9). Bob Ross Thomas uses scripture and testimony to reveal God’s heart over mankind’s brokenness.
Bob Ross Thomas shares his story so that readers may also journey “into the very heart of God.” Though many believe that God can’t be known or understood, scripture teaches that He “called us to know and understand Him, His heart, and His ways” (Jer. 9:24). Thomas began this journey when he heard a sermon on “The Broken Heart of God” by Rev. Dean Harvey, at Youth With A Mission (YWAM), the first he’d ever heard on the subject. Harvey’s message strongly affected Thomas, prompting his journey and this book.
“One of the statements Dean made was this. After reading the verse from Revelation that tells us ‘all our tears will be wiped away,’ he said: ‘But God’s tears will never be wiped away; the grief will never be purged from His heart, because real love can do nothing less than keep on loving.’ Now I invite you on this journey with me! I pray that it will change your life forever, for His glory!”—Bob Ross Thomas
“As someone who is a part of the story, I am especially grateful for Bob’s response to the message of the Broken Heart of God, which he heard from me; proof that the word of God is living and active, and will not return void but will accomplish God’s purpose. May this book help many to share this understanding and burden.”—Rev. Dean Harvey
" ‘The Broken Heart of God’ ' is a very timely book and very appropriate for the days we are living in. Bob Thomas has written a sober and truthful book about God's heart, broken over sin and disobedience. We need to take in account the days when Jeremiah, Isaiah, and other prophets saw Israel’s decline into sin and warned that they had offended and grieved the God who freed them from captivity. America's cup of sin is full, and sin has consequences. When we refuse to honor the word of God, when we trample God's creeds, moral absolutes, and truths, we not only break His heart we also see that He has to judge. Judgment starts first in the house of the Lord. Let us return to our first love and honor the one who gave us life and salvation through Jesus Christ Our Lord. ‘And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.’” (Ezekiel 22:30)—Gene Schmidt, Vice Pres., Hand of Help Ministries
