"I've found the only thing I can control is how well I tell the story and follow the truth.... The truth will always lead you to a good place." Truman Wiley used to report news stories around the world, but now the troubling headlines are his own. He’s out of work and out of touch with his family, but nothing keeps him awake at night more than his son's failing heart. With hospital bills mounting faster than Truman can gamble his life savings, it seems there’s no way out... until his estranged wife throws him a lifeline - the chance to write the story of a death row inmate willing to donate his heart to Truman’s son. As the execution clock ticks, Truman uncovers disturbing evidence that may point to a different killer. For his son to live, must an innocent man die?

As Truman’s investigation escalates, he’s forced to face his failures and make a choice that will change his life, his family, and the destinies of two men forever.

What made the experience of listening to Not in the Heart the most enjoyable?

It had unexpected twists and kept me guessing about what would be uncovered next.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Not in the Heart?

The unexpected ending was my favorite part.

Which character – as performed by Chris Fabry – was your favorite?

The main character was performed well and his voice had just the right amount of skepticism and believability.

Who was the most memorable character of Not in the Heart and why?

The main character was the most memorable because he changed the most throughout the story.

Any additional comments?

The gambling addiction of the main character was depressing and made it a little harder for me to identify with him or empathize with him. On the other hand, it was a moving example of a self centered, messed up individual who found forgiveness and redemption.

Great story about redemption and sacrifice

It kept me listening because I really enjoyed the main character. He was funny because he he made fun of himself and had great commentary on the people in his life. He struggled with God and faith, his questions were relatable to many people for sure. It was the right amount of sentimentality with suspense and mystery too. I like when the author narrates because I often wonder if narrators get it right. This is my first Chris Fabry book, I’m sure I will read or listen to more!

I really liked this book!

Well written .. actually wandered around most of a weekend with earbuds in because it was so engaging. Would recommend book highly ... hadn't read anything from this author before and just loaded my cart with 3 more of his books. He reads his books so well too.. if he wasn't an author he would do well as an audio reader!! Loved it and it's surprise ending .. well worth the time!!

Great book

Would you listen to Not in the Heart again? Why?

Definitely.....in a year or two. It reminded me to not judge people by what I see. It was heartwarming, a who done it, and just a beautiful book.

Which scene was your favorite?

I don't want to give anything away. I'll just say it was the last scene that took place in the governor's mansion.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was interesting enough, but I prefer to stretch out and savor the really good books.

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure if this was classified under Christian fiction or not. It did have Christians in it, but did not read as "religious". If you aren't a believer, please don't let that stop you from getting this book. You won't be offended nor disappointed,

Fantastic book!

This is our first Chris Fabry book ... and WOW! The storyline grabs you from the start. The countdown to execution is short. The end is worth the entire book! We never saw it coming, and wait til you find out the reason for the title of the book! Highly recommend it!!

WOW!!!
