Lukewarm believer Sam Bennett awakens from a dream to discover that he can hear the deepest spiritual needs of those around him. Frightened at first, he begins to embrace his gift and follow the Spirits leading, with the result that many lives are touched and led to faith in Christ. In the end, Bennetts life is radically transformed, and his friends, family, and church are forever changed as they begin to hear the needs of others as God hears. The Heart Reader is a moving evangelistic challenge for all believers.

Terri Blackstock is a New York Times best-seller, with over seven million copies sold worldwide. She has had over twenty-five years of success as a novelist. Terri spent the first twelve years of her life traveling in an Air Force family. She lived in nine states and attended the first four years of school in The Netherlands. Because she was a perpetual "new kid," her imagination became her closest friend. That, she believes, was the biggest factor in her becoming a novelist. She sold her first novel at the age of twenty-five, and has had a successful career ever since.

In 1994 Terri was writing for publishers such as HarperCollins, Harlequin, Dell and Silhouette, when a spiritual awakening drew her into the Christian market. As she was praying about her transition, she went on a cruise and noticed that almost everyone on the boat (including her) had a John Grisham novel. It occurred to her that some of Grisham's readers were Christians, and that if she wrote a fast-paced thriller with an added faith element, she might just find her niche. As God would have it, Christian publishers were showing interest in the suspense genre, so she quickly sold a four-book series to Zondervan. Since that time, she's written over thirty Christian titles, most of them suspense novels.

Terri has appeared on national television programs such as "The 700 Club" and "Home Life," and has been a guest on numerous radio programs across the country. The story of her personal journey appears in books such as Touched By the Savior by Mike Yorkey, True Stories of Answered Prayer by Mike Nappa, Faces of Faith by John Hanna, and I Saw Him In Your Eyes by Ace Collins.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun fast read that causes you to examine yourself and how you represent Jesus to others

This is a sweet little what-if story that really makes you examine yourself. It points out how christians that think they are living for christ may be missing it when it comes to the great commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel. I bought the kindle edition but I would love to have it in a paperback as well so I could loan it out to friends. it's one you can read again and again for it's kick in the pants value.

The Heartreader is a very good book!
It is so true! I originally owned the book when it was written
by an anonymous author. To me, the book had even more value because when an anonymous author wrote the book, he was sharing something that was real and true. Something that indeed happens even today. Some people think it to be impossible, but Nothing is impossible with God and I know that this book is true! God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, please bless the original author of this book for only you know who he really is! Thank you original anonymous author! I just want to let you know that your book has been a real blessing to me!

A very thankful and understanding reader!

Very inspiring book, an easy read. I read it in 2 sittings and that's unusual for me. I don't think I will ever be as enthusiastic as the characters in the book, but I do feel much more comfortable about sharing my faith with others after reading this book. It encouraged me to be more in tune with others' feelings and spiritual needs.

This is an amazing book. It emphasizes the need for us to listen to God, get out of our comfort zones, and speak to others about the things God would have us say. It is a book about compassion, loving your neighbor as yourself, and being the vessel God wants you to be. It is not about your convenience or what you want. It is about what you are able to do for God and for others. It will make you uncomfortable when you read it and if you are like me, it will make you uncomfortable when you re-read it. And you probably want to have a tissue handy because it definitely moves your heart.

What would a person do when he can read the heart messages of others? The Heart Reader gives insight into what is possible when a person actually observes those around him and stops to engage in conversation that leads to a heart felt message about the Lord Jesus Christ. Makes reader evaluate her concern for other's relationship to the world.
