Cuando Mark y Nancy Sheppard comenzaron su trabajo misionero en Liberia, Nancy no tenía idea alguna de las cosas que Dios le pediría. El primer periodo de tiempo que estuvieron en el campo misionero fue tranquilo, pero fue seguido por la Guerra Civil en Liberia y un año horripilante de trabajo con los refugiados liberianos en Costa de Marfil. La situación era difícil, las expectativas eran abrumadoras y la tensión de la guerra se encontraba en la puerta de su casa. Miedo, autocompasión, resentimiento y depresión la perseguían. Dios usó la difícil decisión que tomó Nancy de seguir el liderazgo de su esposo y de continuar trabajando con los refugiados para llevarla en un asombroso viaje espiritual- uno que le permitió tener un entendimiento más claro sobre la femineidad bíblica, al igual que tener una relación más cercana con el Señor y con su esposo. El libro registra el viaje que toma Nancy para llegar a una verdadera paz en medio de circunstancias muy difíciles. Mientras Dios le va enseñando sobre qué significa un servicio genuino, la sumisión, la oración sincera, la reverencia y la humildad, ella es completamente y totalmente transformada. Las escenas presentadas son particulares a la vida de Nancy, pero cualquier cristiano en búsqueda de algo más puede identificarse plenamente con las lecciones espirituales que ella aprende.

When Mark and Nancy Sheppard began missionary service in Liberia, Nancy had no idea what God would ask of her. Their idyllic first term was followed by the Liberian Civil War and a nightmarish year working among Liberian refugees in the Ivory Coast. Conditions were difficult, expectations overwhelming and the tensions of the war at their doorstep. Fear, self-pity, resentment and depression haunted her. God used Nancy's difficult decision to follow her husband's leadership and remain in refugee work to begin an amazing spiritual journey - one that led to a clearer understanding of biblical womanhood as well as a deeper relationship with the Lord and with her husband. The book chronicles Nancy's journey to true peace in the midst of very difficult circumstances. As God teaches her about genuine service, submission, sincere prayer, reverence and humility, she is totally and completely transformed. The Youth Edition removes some of the more detailed explanations of the war and Liberian culture that may not be appropriate for younger readers.

It has been 17 years since this book has challenged mature Christian women to mentor younger wives and mothers. This expanded version includes valuable Appendices that will give the mentoring relationship eternal significance. It is still popular as an individual study or in small groups.

Christians and non-Christians alike often embrace a low view of God, and consequently a casual view of sin and Scripture. This low view of God is reflected in their attitudes about God, their attitudes about Scripture, and their attitudes of the heart. This book is about being "transformed by the renewing of your mind" and not being "conformed to this world" (Romans 12:2). Your Heart is who you are on the inside. It is what you think, your motives, and your desires. Our hearts have been conformed to the world's way of thinking. Paul wrote, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." (Romans 12:2). If you have a teachable heart, Attitudes of a Transformed Heart will help you truly honor God by what you think. Study questions are at the end of each chapter.
