The Heart of a Runaway: Hope and Understanding for the Woman Who Longs to Escape

By Janet Chester Bly

It's one of those topics Christians don't talk about. Women in Christian families are finding themselves emotionally and spiritually unfulfilled. Their disappointment and feelings of failure close in on them, and they find themselves wanting to run away from their homes and responsibilities.

The Heart of a Runaway

Have read no other book like this one! It speaks to the private places of the heart of anyone who is confused and needing understanding and hope. Has a list of runaway thinking stages to help reader recognize their own runaway tendencies. Written for those who feel like running away or for the family and friends of a loved one who has already run and want to know why and what to do next. It also provides runaway women with encouragement and perspective to find the home they so desperately long for. I have shared this with women in prison and women in counseling and has opened up deeper conversation and rapport.
