This participant guide is designed to be a companion piece as you walk through the Reclaiming Your Heart study on your own, in a small group setting, or one-on-one with someone else. I taught a lesson called "When a Heart Shuts-Down" one year at our VBS for Women event. After I taught it I said, "If I could only teach one lesson for the rest of my life this would be it." Because it really is my story. I was so shut-down for so many years. I had lost my voice, my opinions, my dreams. I was a shell of a person. The jolt and trauma of my divorce forced me to confront my dead heart. It was fight for it or die. I wasn't ready to die. And so I fought. Hard. And what came out of that fight was a beautifully alive heart. There are so many faces of a shut-down heart. Some are performance, some are control, some are anger or fear or disappointment. And each one has reasons and ways that it got there. But they are sin. No matter how we want to name them, they are still sin. And with sin something always dies. So what does reclaiming your heart look like? Well, that is what we discover with practical stories and directives, this book is a powerful tool for Bible Studies, Life Groups or Book Clubs. I don't say this about my books, but I know this book is life-changing. I know because it is how my life changed.

For one year following her painful divorce, Denise Hildreth chronicled every emotion, every new discovery, and every moment of God's unyielding presence. Flying Solo, the diary of that roller-coaster year, begins on the day Denise sat in court to hear a judge end her 13-year marriage and follows her through twelve months of soul-searching, heartbreak, and healing. With vivid stories, raw emotion, and unwavering honesty, Denise opens a window for divorced or divorcing readers to breathe in the fresh air of God's Spirit. For, among many surprises in store for Denise during her first year of flying solo, one of the most startling was this: God desires to be with us through our pain. She writes, "Flying solo isn't about being alone. It is about living a life that may hurt at times, wound at times, betray at times; but there is still an incredible unobstructed view of heaven, and an opportunity to discover God in the middle of it." Readers struggling to stay afloat in the wake of a marriage's end will hear from a fellow traveler that they don't have to settle for treading water . . . they can learn to fly.
