Running from the Heart (ePub)

Jeannie Long is married to Gerard and together they bring comfort and hope to the poor and suffering, through Awakening to God Ministries (ATG). ATG was birthed from the unbelievable pain and suffering from two of their three children being called home to Heaven (Alex, December 13th 1987 – November 8th 2005 and Rebecca January 22nd 1982 – May 8th 2014). Their precious son Ben is the bravest man they know!

Meeting in the summer of 1978, Jeannie a ballet dancer (Royal Ballet School and Rambert) and Gerard an athlete, fell in love and married in 1981. Hearing the call, surrendering all, they co pastored a church in London. Gerard was bi vocational also working for an international bank in the City.

Leaving the shores of England, they accepted a fresh call to the US. Blessed beyond measure, their walk with God, marriage, family, ministry, work and friends, they came face to face with evil in 2005.

After Alex’s suicide, the cords of death entangled Jeannie, and in her darkness, she lost her faith, unable to reconcile how the loving God they had served could have allowed such evil to visit her family.

Hating herself and Gerard, their marriage should never have survived! Gerard fought for Jeannie, like a true warrior, his love never letting her go. Over time, God’s glimmers of light and love broke through the darkness and Jeannie’s faith and her love for Gerard was restored.

The unbelievable, unthinkable and unimaginable happened when Rebecca went home in 2014. Jeannie’s heart could not carry any more grief and she decided to end her life. In a divine encounter, God’s love and light filled her heart with hope for something immeasurably more!!!

“I have never written a book before, hey, I was a ballerina! and the Lord knows I could not have written this devotional without Gerard and Ben’s encouragement.”

Ben works in London and, currently, Jeannie and Gerard live in Malibu with their sweet Golden Retriever, Chloe.
