Tracey Glenn invites readers to join her on a journey of faith and trust with the re-launch of her debut memoir devotional, Gathering the Wayward Heart: Lessons on Faith, Trust, and Surrendering Our Best-Laid Plans.

This powerful story is one woman’s account of how God rescued and healed her from the pain of harrowing circumstances and near-catastrophic events to establish her feet on new ground.

This story of hope will inspire those trapped by shame from past events to discover your life purpose and know you have a Savior who pursues, protects, and heals. Gathering the Wayward Heart is an inspirational read about learning to lean into faith instead of trying to control every situation. In it, Tracey shares how trusting God can be a catalyst for transformation both spiritually and emotionally–and ultimately lead us down paths we never imagined possible!

Through candid stories of courage and resilience along with practical steps for spiritual growth, Tracey offers readers insight into how they too can build faith through trusting God’s promises. She encourages them to step out in faith even when the outcome appears uncertain because He is the only one who can bring true healing and hope through difficulties.

Tracey recalls how God used difficult situations in her life as opportunities for growth rather than punishment or destruction. “My heart began to turn toward Him more quickly when I realized I could trust Him even when my plans were being derailed,” said Tracey. “I soon discovered that his plans are far greater than anything I could ever imagine.”

5 stars – Finding God even in the midst of hardship

“The author candidly shares her past with raw honesty, drawing the reader in and enabling us to identify our own similar struggle or hardship. Though Tracey looks thru a lens of pain, she is able to see God at work and shares the hope and healing that faith in Him brings. Each chapter has a few suggestions for us to apply truth to our own story! In the end, it is evident that God redeems the past! You will be glad you read it!”

Delaney Brown
5 stars – Even better than I expected

She masterfully wove pieces of her real & raw story into God’s story for her life leading the reader into their own encounter and deepening relationship with the Lord. This is a must-read, and I HIGHLY encourage you to have an extra copy on hand to give to someone who is struggling through circumstances or shaken in their faith.”
