Heart Check

What does God see when He looks at your heart?

Heart Check: Confronting the Enemy Within is a Christian spiritual growth book about honest self-examination, repentance, forgiveness, and surrender to God. Through Scripture, personal reflections, and prayer, Crystal Hagen invites you to look beneath your outward actions and ask what's shaping your responses, your relationships, and your walk with Christ.

It's easy to focus on what someone else did. It takes courage to pray, "Lord, if it is ME, show me!" Crystal shares what that prayer has meant in her own life and helps you make room for God's correction without losing sight of His grace.

Each chapter explores a different part of the journey.

• Self-examination · Bring your motives, attitudes, and habits before God.

• Repentance · Turn back to God with a heart willing to change.

• Obedience · Follow God's Word in the everyday decisions that test your faith.

• Forgiveness · Release hurt and consider what forgiveness looks like when reconciliation is difficult.

• Christlike character · Let the love and humility of Jesus shape how you treat others.

With reflection questions, guided prayers, and an invitation to salvation and rededication, Heart Check offers space to pause, pray, and respond to what God reveals. It's for readers who want a deeper relationship with Jesus and a faith that shows up in how they live.

Begin with one honest prayer. "Lord, search my heart and show me where I need to grow."
