Live. Learn. Love. – Q&A for the Soul is a reflective blend of the real world as it relates to beliefs, un-beliefs, and heartfelt thoughts from a variety of people who are all in different places in their walks with God. Heather Mertens allows God to weave a great tapestry so that people are allowed to share their hearts in a very personal way without judgement. This book is truly reflective of the title in that, whether we’ve been following Christ for one day or 100 years we can feel free to continue to grow and learn from other people who are all wonderfully made with each having God’s special relationship individually and as a collective group.

This survey (for the book) was amazing. God has really moved in me through this series of questions. He’s really asked me to question how close I am with Him and if I need to make honest changes.

Live. Learn. Love. – Q&A for the Soul by Heather Mertens (publication date TBA)
Let this book enlighten you and take your soul into a deeper level of thinking that you can apply to your life and enrich it. Read words from people just like you – all on the most important journey of their lives – seeking their purpose.
Read words of encouragement from the author, surrounded by discussion and thoughts from 50 people from EVERY single generation starting at age 18, all walks of life, all types of careers – from those amazing stay-at-home moms, to those in ministry, to students, to business owners, to craftsmen, to entrepreneurs, to working breadwinners, to those who’ve earned retirement.
Dive into the questions every person likely has at one time or another: questions about how our lives are connected on this planet and how God fits into each life.
Heather Mertens is breaking new ground when it comes to the discussion of life, faith and what really matters…where so many have hurled their views at the “opposition” from a polarized and unloving pulpit, she is bringing together people of sundry beliefs and walks of life for a balanced and encouraging discussion on these fundamental topics, something I have never seen before and heartily applaud. Live. Learn. Love. – Q&A for the Soul promises to be a revolutionary and deeply impacting book, as Mertens unabashedly explores our most basic (and most important) life questions. I am deeply honored to be a contributor to this work, and can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

Heather Mertens is an individual concerned with the challenges others face. She has a deep desire to understand and to be understood. She lives a life sensitive to the hurting people in the world. She seeks to find solutions to the issues facing a hurting world. Her book Live. Learn. Love – Q&A for the Soul will inspire people to be open to understanding the belief system others have and to consider where the other individual’s belief systems were founded. Her book will help us all come together and serve the same loving God regardless of race or our diversified backgrounds.

So often people are objectified and discarded when their beliefs differ from our own simply because we do not know them. In Heather Mertens’ work, understanding and respect for the beliefs of all are promoted by helping the reader see the real people behind differing opinions about God and world views. This newly developed empathy for different understandings of life and spirituality is an important piece in unifying people who may never have come together before.
