A Change of Heart: Understanding the Kingdom of God by Clemmie A. Scott, Jr. is a piece of Christian non-fiction literature for anyone-new or life-time believer-looking to deepen their relationship with God. Focusing on the heart as the metaphorical connection between men and women and their Creator, the book makes use of multiple points of scripture to argue for the condition of the heart with and without Christ. The book is broken down into five parts: The precondition of the heart and its connection to inherited sin, the transformation of the heart when dedicated to God, the role of the Holy Spirit in transforming the heart, understanding the kingdom of God with a transformed heart, and the role of the heart in transforming marriages. As Scott summarizes, "The heart, the seat of human intention, desire, and belief, must be understood, transformed, and renewed in community in order to allow one entrance and full participation in the Kingdom of God. " A Change of Heart is uplifting, approachable, and encourages a positive relationship with God.
