The longest distance in the universe is between the head and heart. For Christ-followers, it is the chasm between what we say we believe in our minds and what we truly believe in our hearts: a split between our statements about God and our experience of Him. This divide is everywhere around us, causing untold devastation. It is found in the double lives of believers and in the hypocrisy of church leaders, but mainly we see it in ourselves. It is the default position of every human heart.
In Divided: When the Head and Heart Don’t Agree, Bill Delvaux exposes this divide and offers strategies to tackle it. The actual journey to cross the divide is sketched out, an epic journey that will take us into our deepest fear and shame and on into the wonder of God’s presence. For becoming undivided is not just another task. It’s the pathway into the very heart of the Father.

- Strategies for closing the divide between head and heart

Take the Journey By Durough When I requested a review copy of Bill Delvaux’s /Divided: When the Head and Heart Don’t Agree/ I thought to myself, “How does one successfully solve the long debated ‘head vs. heart’ dilemma in under two hundred pages?” I went in with an assumption about what Delvaux was attempting to accomplish, but by the time I got to the final two chapters I realized why the reader was being taken on this journey that never seems to land anywhere. What’s the point, you ask? I don’t know about other reviewers and how they’ll approach this one, but answering that would be akin to spoiling a good movie. This book will catch you off guard—in a good way—if you’re willing to stick with the journey./Divided/ is presented in three sections:1. “Viewing the Divide: How it Began and What It Destroys” — If you don’t connect and relate at the start of this section, just keep reading. Eventually one of the many anecdotes will strike a chord and you’ll find yourself acknowledging your own divide.2. “Tackling the Divide: Three Terrains to Navigate” — This is where the reader is forced to consider more holistically one’s own story and listening to others in order to better understand the person. Great stuff. Yes, but how does this tackle the divide? It doesn’t matter; just keep reading.3. “Closing the Divide: What the Journey Feels Like” — So this is where it’s wrapped up in a nice package, right? Notice the subtitle is not “How to Fix It.” Once you get this far, you’re too invested to turn back, you’re not sure why you’re reading but know you need to keep going, and then *wham!* it hits you. “What the Journey Feels Like” is an appropriate description, and it’s only after journeying with Delvaux to the end will you realize the necessity of the journey.If, like Paul, you struggle with doing the things you know not to do and not doing the things you know to do; if you put on a façade to hide the real you that you think others will hate; if you act and react out of an unknown position that lies in the darkest parts of you that you’re afraid to explore or may not even know exists, then /Divided/ may be what helps you work through it. Don’t expect to be fixed along the way, but expect to be called out and called to action in taking steps toward your own journey through your own divide.There were some points at which I disagreed with Delvaux’s handling of Scripture (particularly his use of Job), but these aren’t serious enough to affect the larger purpose of the book.Recommended.*Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program.

Just finished reading By Anderson Bill Delvaux's Divided looked and sounded very promising, however, I believe it ultimately came up short in the end. The book is separated into three sections: Viewing the Divide, Tackling the Divide, and Closing the Divide. In the three sections, we have a total of eight chapters as well a conclusion. The first section deals with the problem and severity of the Divide. The next section deals with unearthing the divide, learning to listen, and telling your story. The last section addresses the concept of descending to ascend and the need to be humbled to be raised up.Unfortunately, the book does not deliver as the solution to the issue of the division between the head and the heart ends up being a call to a "quiet time". However, it isn't just any quiet time because even those with a division between the head and the heart may do that, but a call to solitude and silence before God. He advocates a dialogue in prayer and not simply a monologue. He says we shouldn't just read the Bible but need to meditate and journal through it. At the end of the day, he doesn't provide any advice which hasn't already been given to God's people.Ultimately, he falls short because he focuses almost exclusively on the individual (though he has a section arguing against a strictly individualistic approach) and the individual's relationship to God. The Church, the sacraments, and fellowship seem to play almost no part in eradicating the division between the head and heart. This is a major flow. Anytime the church is mentioned, it is in such a way that one's own personal fulfillment or encouragement is pinnacle. In addition to this, I find the idea of uncovering everyone's story as a front to simple repentance and turning away from sin. We can spend so much time trying to figure out why we may yell at our wife and children instead of turning from sin and confessing it to others. Jesus doesn't call the Rich Young Ruler to figure out why he doesn't want to sell all his things and follow Him, Jesus just calls him to it. Sometimes the most Spiritual thing is simple obedience even when we don't feel like it.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program.

Morgan Divided: When the Head and Heart Don't Agree by Bill Delvaux is a book about the divide many Christians experience between what they intellectually acknowledge, and what actually plays out in their life. Delvaux shares many personal examples as he discusses the universality of the divide, what the divide is, what causes it, and how to cross it.I was initially excited to read this book, and the concept of intellectually knowing the truths of the Bible, while still having trouble believing them enough that they are everyday parts of my life is something I've struggled with. However, when I actually started the book, I realized it wasn't going to be as helpful as I'd hoped. Delvaux shares some good ideas, and his honesty about his own struggle is encouraging in that I know I'm not alone. In my opinion, he spends too much time establishing the fact that there is a divide. The first third of the book is used to establish this. The second third, which is supposed to be about "tackling the divide" is really more of the same - more establishing that there is a divide than ways to tackle it. The last third discusses what its like to close the divide.For someone who is unfamiliar with the concept of the divide that occurs in many believer's, Divided has helpful information. It's more of a primer on the subject than a guide to dealing with it. At the end of each chapter are prayers and discussion questions that can be used by individuals or groups to go deeper into the content of each chapter.I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookLook book review bloggers program.
