heart.

We make a lot of room-maybe too much room-for things outside of our relationship with our Creator at the expense of a heart unfulfilled and tethered to fear, burnout, and suffering relationships. We open the gates of our hearts to everyone clamoring for our attention, to every activity, and to the barrage of distractions that draw us away from the heart of God.

In Guarded, author and Lead Pastor of The Avenue Church Melissa Graham sets the record straight on our God-mandated responsibility to fiercely protect and guard the vaults that house our most valuable treasure: our hearts. Guarded will help you to:

-Prioritize your heart as the center from which all things flow,

-Be selective with whom to welcome into your heart space,

-Take responsibility for the condition of your heart,

-Guard yourself against the most common heart invaders,

-Protect the hearts of those who occupy the greatest space in your heart, and

-Cultivate a healthy heart so that others may know Jesus.

No one can protect your heart but you!
