Synopsis

In Psalm 11:3, we are told “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

We all have foundational aspirations in our heart that cry out to be satisfied. If not contented and silenced, we will be continuously bombarded with negative feelings robing our lives of the abundant joy promised by Christ.

"Untangling the Seven Desires of our Hearts" identifies these seven God-implanted desires and reveals where we have love-gaps that are keeping us from becoming emotionally free.

About This Book

LaVon Koerner learned the concepts that prompted the content of this book while he was setting up and running his International Consulting Business (Revenue Storm).

While these concepts were curiously absent from the church, they were constantly revealing themselves while he was conducting international business. As LaVon engaged in multiple cultures in 49 different countries, the patterns became increasingly more noticeable to him. It was in the international community that LaVon uncovered the seven common denominators occupying every human heart. They stood out as the most beautifully simplistic common denominators instilled by God in every human heart that all nationalities and peoples shared.

In a world that appears to be growing more deeply divided, he found that these commonalities reach beyond skin color, languages, dialects, or cultural mores. We all share in the desperation and the joy of the Seven Desire in every human heart. Your own heart will validate their existence as you read this book.

It is now time to put these critical observations in the rightful hands of the church where they belong. If they remain absent from the personal work of the church, we will be failing each other while allowing people to continue in emotional bondage.

These longings hold the key to unifying the church as one body sharing all the same aspirations that have been built into our hearts by God himself. We need to fight the obsession over what divides us and move onto these seven common longings that unite us.

God designed just one “mankind” and every human being has these exact same seven desires in their hearts. This book will untangle each one of them and set you free from all the negative emotions emanating out of the love-gaps that surround them.
