Every day we face some kind of frustration: flat tires, flooded basements, wounding words, a broken body, a troubled marriage?trouble comes in all shapes and sizes and can happen when we least expect it. While everyone struggles, few people have learned to struggle well. But it's not impossible! Frustrations arise when we look to people and things of this world to fill our desires, rather than to the only One who can really satisfy us. *True North* offers a unique, biblical paradigm that gives understanding and help to turn to God in the frustrations of life. Frustration often causes us to ?go south? and react in the flesh. We grumble and grasp. God calls us to ?go north? and respond to hardship with wisdom and redemptive love. Combining biblical insight with personal stories, practical help, and compelling examples, authors Gary and Lisa Heim encourage readers to turn from self-centered grumbling and grasping to Christ-centered gratitude and giving. As they read stories of hardships and trials, successes and profits, readers will see how frustrations can actually help them grow in their personal lives, in their marriages, in their parenting, and in their ministries.
Believing that learning to live for God through all of life's frustration is an intentional activity for every day, the Heims also provide discussion questions at the end of each chapter to help readers apply biblical truths to situations where frustrations loom. Perfect for use in ministry settings or as a handbook for personal growth, *Truth North* shows readers how to embark on the life-giving adventure of walking with God.

I really enjoyed reading True North. The author is one of my critique partners and I've had the pleasure of watching this story grow and evolve. The premise is different to the typical inspirational romance because it's a reunion romance story with a married hero and heroine. The tragedy of losing their only child has ripped apart Lisa and Joe's marriage. At the start of the story they're estranged and living apart, their relationship with God challenged by the unexpected loss of their son, Cody. \\r\\n\\r\\nLisa arranges, without Joe's knowledge, to join him on the Alaskan cruise that was supposed to be a family birthday celebration for Cody. Their son's dream had been to see the whales. The story has many emotional highs and lows as both Lisa and Joe deal with their grief , their faith crises, and their crumbing marriage. A couple of fascinating minor characters on the cruise play a critical role in helping Joe and Lisa heal and face their marital problems. \\r\\n\\r\\nI loved the depth of emotion experienced by the characters as they worked through their very real issues. The Alaskan scenery was gorgeous and the close proximity of the cruise ship heightened the romantic tension in the story. I highly recommend True North for those looking for a deep and compelling contemporary romance story.
