Christian Newswire/ -- Mercy Press announces the release of author Jean M. Heimann's new book, "Learning to Love With the Saints: A Spiritual Memoir." Available in digital ($2.99) and paperback ($13.99) editions at Amazon.com, "Learning to Love with the Saints" gives us practical insight into the abundant love and mercy that flows from the Sacred Heart of Jesus to our hearts when we learn to trust in His love and mercy. "Learning to Love with the Saints" shows us how to develop a personal relationship with God, to grow more deeply in love with Him, to trust in His mercy and to use the saints as our supporters and spiritual guides.
"Learning to Love with the Saints" is the inspiring personal witness of how Jean M. Heimann was wooed by Jesus to return to the Church after being raised Catholic and then leaving her faith for fifteen years. In this riveting memoir, Jean tells the story of growing up in the Midwest in a French-Catholic family during the tumultuous times of the sexual revolution, the Vietnam War and mass misinterpretation of Vatican II in the Church in the '60s.
Jean grew up in a stable home environment with devout, hard-working Catholic parents. Her life took some treacherous turns as she entered into marriage with a drug-addicted, abusive man, which was soon followed by divorce, causing her to leave her Catholic faith.
Throughout her life, Jean faced numerous sufferings and trials. In this intimate account, Jean shares her fears, her pain and the graces she received from God to rise above her circumstances. She reveals how she came to see her own value in the eyes of God, to surrender to Him and to embrace His tender love and mercy.
