ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Derrick Nanda, a man God found as he was running after Him
Derrick Nanda is a Christian who, while seeking God during a difficult situation he was experiencing at the time, realized that it is God who finds man and what God seeks in man is the heart of a man. 1 Samuel 13:14 … the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people. God found Derrick in a situation of emotional brokenness and inspired him to write this book, to not only heal him from the flow of negative emotions that were overwhelming him, but more importantly, to heal the nations and the people of God, who are suffering consciously or unconsciously from emotional wounds, with the goal that everyone can better serve God, our Savior and Lord.
God’s wish and will is for His people to serve him, and to serve God, we need to hear Him first. But when we have a wounded heart, how can we hear God to serve Him? We cannot serve a God with whom we do not have a relationship.
My relationship with God, my base of fortification
This relationship so necessary for every human being is built not on their actions, no matter how good they are, but on the heart. Actions follow what we have in our hearts. They are its fruits. How can you build a relationship with God, your neighbor, or even in society with an emotionally broken heart? This is where this book finds its weight in gold. My Heart, My Emotions and Myself helps each of us to understand our emotional situation, to work on our healing to better dispose our hearts to God.
