Finding the Heart of God is an adaptation of the conversations about negative emotions that I had with my grandchildren. It is based on a class I took called Transformation Prayer Ministry* (TPM) by Ed M. Smith. Since I saw much progress when using the method with adults, I adapted some of the basic concepts taught in this ministry model for use with my young grandchildren. TPM is a prayer ministry that helps people identify their lie-based belief which causes the feeling of negative emotion. Since many young children cannot verbalize their range of emotions, one of the benefits of TPM is that they do not have to name what they are feeling but be willing to feel. One premise from TPM is, “We feel whatever we believe.” Helping a child to identify the lies that are taken to heart and to invite the Spirit of Jesus to replace it with truth, is a wonderful gift we can give our children.The book is modeled on conversations that I had with my grandchildren over a series of years. Their answers are to the question, “Would you like to ask the Lord what He wants you to know about your pain?” I was amazed at their responses and knew they had received truth from the Spirit. * for more information on TPM see www.transformationprayer.org
