The Boy and The Ogre is a story about the restoration of the Six Freedoms that we come into life with as God's gift to us. The Six Freedoms are to be developed, nurtured and grown so that we can live fully in relationship with ourselves, others, and God. When we are taught to give up the heartbeat of the freedoms, the result is codependency. In it's simplest form, codependency is the loss of self-awareness, self-trust, self-expression, and inherent sense of worth that allow us genuinely to depend on others and God for relational connection, which is the "food of life." We lose the capacity to thrive as we are created by God to do. In codependency, survival takes the place of our inherent desire to thrive. Recovery ushers us into the lives we are created to have.

"A book ahead of its time."An allegory that speaks truths we are trained not to see, and we wish we could hide from. It sends us into the future in which metaphor and science have collided into a new materialism. We have gotten everything we ever wanted and yet the cost to the heart of who we are is its price. The unique story takes us into the mystery of our own hearts and beckons us to listen to our own cry for liberty.

In 2001, The Voice of the Heart began a steady journey into the lives of those looking for more. Since its initial release, The Voice of the Heart has been handed one friend to another and has helped thousands of people begin to speak the truth of their story and to live more fully from the heart. Chip Dodd invites us to begin to know our hearts so that we better know ourselves and can live fully in relationship with others and, ultimately, with God. The journey begins with discovering the gift of The Eight Feelings(TM). We have eight feelings that allow us to live fully in a tragic place-hurt, lonely, sad, anger, fear, shame, guilt, and glad. By listening to these eight God-given tools, we can be who we are made to be, so we can do what we are made to do. "Chip Dodd passionately and wisely invites us to the spiritual discipline of listening to our hearts and to the call of God that echoes in every emotion." -Dan Allender, Professor of Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School, Author of The Wounded Heart, To Be Told, and Leading With a Limp. "The Bible tells us that the heart 'is the wellspring of life.' In this thoughtful book, Chip Dodd [reveals] how our spiritual heart functions and how we can discover more of the life Christ offers. I'm confident that many will find his insights helpful and even life-changing." -Franklin Graham, President, Samaritan's Purse and Christian Evangelist.

You and I are designed as emotional and spiritual creatures who are created to live fully, even in a broken, tragic world. We live fully by being in relationships with ourselves, our heads and hearts connected, in relationship with others, and especially, in relationship with God. We have been given feelings as tools to use that can move us to remain connected to ourselves, others, and God. The Pslams are a great example of this truth.How are You Feeling Today? is a small children's book that is part of a large mission -- to help children embrace core values and express behaviors consistent with those values in an ever-changing, challenging world. We want children to know, grow in, and trust the truth of the seminal verse, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" (Prov. 4:23). As children's minds are being educated, so will they also learn the social and emotional skills that allow them fully to share their gifts in a world that needs them.My prayer is that children will remain connected to how God created them and continue to be known by those they love and who love them -- especially the God who knitted them together with unending love.

Through the use of story, experience, knowledge, and Scripture, we follow the author as he shows us how to walk the path toward a life of passion, intimacy, and integrity-leaving a legacy that passes life forward to those we loved and beyond. Using the Beatitudes, we discover the eight movements we all must make if we are to live in freedom, fidelity, fullness, and faithfulness. With each movement, Dodd explores one of life's great paradoxes: the only way we get to the treasure we are made to possess is by traveling through tragedy and surrendering to the God who can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
