learn by heart

In the midst of a blossoming logistics and supply chain executive career, while stewarding the Marriage Ministry at his church with his wife of 20-years, and after completing his third Ironman triathlon at the age of 50, Warren Bishop was diagnosed with a brain tumor. While the intricate surgery was successful, recovery was slow. His company eliminated his position as a Vice President. His wife eliminated his role as a husband. His malfunctioning endocrine system eliminated his athletic hobbies and 175-pound frame. Within 18 months Warren was unemployed, divorced, homeless, and weighed more than 300 pounds. His standing as a combat Veteran provided no meaningful lifeline. One thing circumstance couldn't steal was his heart … for the Lord, for his children and ex-wife, for his friends and others, and as a curious albeit frustrated learner. Learn By Heart became an inspiration; a path forward for him, and others. Warren discovered God's Word is really no different than learning the alphabet, addition, subtraction, or multiplication. The goal is not rote memorization of a math fact or single Bible verse, but to attain a fluency marked by deeper understanding and integration of this knowledge in your life. Learn By Heart is a compilation of God's plan, promises and desire to change our hearts, a treasure map of how to achieve integration between God's intent and the execution of our lives, and the story of how He did so for the author.
