Summary: Insight, intelligence, and compassion in all walks of life
Review: I am constantly impressed by the brilliance of Marilyn Meberg. In her latest book "The Zippered Heart," she tactfully tackles many issues that Christians face today, unwrapping the concept of living free from guilt, resisting temptation, and unlocking the truth to set your soul in flight. By revealing some of her "darker intentions" she makes us realize that those black thoughts and shameful memories and ideas that we hold "just to the left of the zipper" are the same guilt and fears that plague all mankind; that we are not something to be ashamed of, but rather a daughter of the King.

Gently treading on painful issues and areas of life, she unwraps the mysteries of the heart like a velvet ribbon, and when the last page is turned and the book lain aside, we remember the freedom we have been given in Christ, and the journey that lies before us toward learning to forgive ourselves. Long-time fans of Marilyn will not be surprised or insulted by some of the examples she uses to prove her point, having already become familiar with her sometimes dark but appealing sense of humor. But for those who have never read "the rapscallion brilliance" of Marilyn Meberg before, I suggest you begin with "I'd Rather Be Laughing."
