Christa’s vulnerability and honesty on these pages is nothing short
of astounding. I found myself letting the tears silently roll as my
heart breathed a sigh of relief. If we let it, this book could
affect the way we approach the intricacies of being human--- from
today forward. I know it will for me.
*— Amanda Cook*
Deep, honest, powerful, and moving, Heart Made Whole is a book like
no other I have ever read. I was gripped by Christa's raw
storytelling and changed by her leadership into the exploration of
my own heart. This book took courage to write, and I'm so thankful
Christa was willing.
*— Annie Downs, Author of Looking for Lovely and Let’s All Be
Brave*
Heart Made Whole is a stunning book that lets you look into life
and its deepest of pains. Christa, the author, has lived deep pain.
In this book she shares her process. How do you live life when it
feels like your whole world will never be worth anything again? The
beauty of this book gives you tools on how to live again and, most
importantly, how to find God and let the healing happen.
*— Beni Johnson, Author of Healthy and Free and The Happy
Intercessor*
Heart Made Whole is a wonderfully vivid and beautifully raw account
of the journey that Christa and her family have endured. From
rejection to redemption, betrayal to belonging, this book guides
the wounded heart to the only place where we can experience
wholeness: the Heart of the Father. This is a must-read in any
season of life, and it's still impacting me.

recording artist*
I am a fi believer that you cannot take others where you have not
been yourself. Christa writes from a raw and real place, and I have
watched as she has walked through the valley of the shadow of death
and come through victoriously on the other side. The Bible says
clearly that out of our heart flows the issues of life, yet too
many people are coping through life with fractured hearts and
wonder why they are not living in the fullness of what Jesus
promised for them. As you read these pages, apply these truths, and
allow Jesus to come in and breathe life where there was death, you
will discover a freedom that is life- changing. Christa's ability
to articulate this process is breathtaking and inspiring. Thank
you, Christa, for your transparency and vulnerability on every page
and for the truth of God's Word that will bring freedom into the
lives of every reader.

I have had the great honor of knowing Christa for five years now.
As a friend, I grieved with her when her sweet baby girl died and
in the days following. I watched in amazement as God began to heal
and transform her heart. In her new book Heart Made Whole, Christa
writes with authority, passion, and incredible vulnerability. This
is a book for every gender, every generation, and every heart that
refuses to be bound and broken. Christa’s heartfelt words and
experience will inspire you!
*— Kim Walker-Smith, Jesus Culture*
If anyone can take you on a heart journey to freedom and wholeness,
it is this powerful woman of God. The seat of her power is a
constant Christ-centered experience of life. I know Christa and
Luke. I’ve witnessed indescribable agony overwhelmed by the
Comforter. This book will transform you because the author is
deeply authentic in Christ.

On a dry erase board in our youngest daughter's room, we saw the
verse Christa had challenged our three girls to memorize: 'Above
all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it'
(Prov. 4:23). During those years she lived with us and played with
Michael in his band, she profoundly impacted our children with the
way she walked her faith out before them. Little did we know that
some of the struggles she shared with us (and many she didn't)
would eventually lead her to healing and the wise words in these
pages. We urge you to read this book and open your hearts as you do
... it's a beautiful guide to the healing Jesus longs to bring to
every broken piece of your heart!
*— Michael W. Smith*
The truth, depth, and transparency Christa has shared in Heart Made
Whole is so impacting. I believe it will help you to overcome your
pain and come to know God as the Healer, Restorer, and gracious
Father He is, reminding you of a love that is present in the
darkest of moments to make your heart whole.
*— Kari Jobe*
This book takes you on a journey. By the first few paragraphs you
are bawling, and by the end you feel a sense of inner strength that
completely rocks you from the inside out. Christa doesn't just
share her story, but invites you to really evaluate your own, and
what I loved most was her transparency and rawness through it all.
READ it, TAKE it in, and GIVE your heart the healing and wholeness
it's been looking for.

What Christa and Lucas had to go through when they lost their
daughter, Goldie, is unimaginable. I wish that they never had to
experience one ounce of what they did. However, I am so grateful
that Christa had the ability and strength to take her broken heart
to Jesus and not only learn how to navigate through the pain, but
also be gracious enough to share her journey and heart lessons with
all of us. It's not every day that we get invited into the deepest
darkest places of someone's heart and get to watch how they
triumphed through tragedy and came out victorious on the other
side. Her wisdom is invaluable, and this book is a true
treasure.
*— Anjelah Johnson-Reyes*
While most of us have never experienced the unimaginable pain of
losing a child, we all have experienced pain in our lives. That
pain, when not dealt with properly, wreaks havoc on a heart that
was meant to be fully alive by experiencing the radical love of a
Father. As I read Heart Made Whole, I was deeply affected and
ministered to as Christa, through her writing, spoke truth and life
into my own heart. Christa has given us an incredible gift as she
opens up her life in intimate ways to reveal how even the most
broken hearts can be made whole.
