The intent of this journal is to help individuals in their daily walk toward being a Christ-centered person and in hearing the Holy Spirit when working in the realm of a person’s soul wounds. This journal came about after my relationship ended with the woman whom I thought I would marry. I was shown that the lack of accountability and working in one’s divided heart can destroy a wonderful plan that God has for two individuals to come together in unity. Also, throughout my 20 years of practice in social services and my experience in the Body of Christ, I have seen how the lack of accountability, as well as pride and fear, keep people from realizing their true value for the Kingdom of God. Thus, this journal is relevant for others during this time in history in which we see a lack of accountability each day — and a continuous drift away from loving one another. 

​

Description:

We are living in a time when relationships and marriages are being destroyed. The divorce rate is at an all time high of 61%, and few take the marriage covenant that they make with God seriously anymore. We have become so immersed in technology that heart-to-heart communication seems like a thing of the past.

​

The point of this journal is to start taking an inventory of yourself — your thoughts, feelings, words, actions, and attitudes toward yourself and others. It is designed to move you toward Christ and others on a daily basis. It is designed to bring more love and joy into your life and to enhance your relationships and human connections. This journal is not about beating yourself up or about striving for perfection. This journal is about listening to the Voice of the Holy Spirit so that you love yourself and others more on a daily basis. It is to help you face your deepest personal fears and to do the emotional soul-wound work that you need to get yourself out of the way of the Spirit’s direction in your life.

“It is appointed man once to die, a future from which we cannot escape. When faced with this reality, what truly matters in the end? Having been given a prognosis that my life may end sooner than I had hoped, I examined my life deeply. I wanted to leave a legacy, yet I had no wife or children. This has become the sum of my experiences…Did I love well? Did I love myself well so that I could love others well?

​

As a result of coming face to face with death, leaving a past in the New Age and the occult, and the experience of nearly being married, I share my perspective on life and love. Within these pages, a series of letters will speak to your mind, heart, and spirit, prayerfully, cause you to draw closer to the Trinity, deeply examine your life, and help you feel empowered to make changes where there are deficiencies and causing a strengthening of character. May wisdom be gained and may all learn to love well…these are “The Love Well Letters.”

Reviews:

"Jeffrey Tierney’s Love Well Letters is a heartfelt reflection on the Christian values that have animated his own life journey. That journey has been marked by setbacks, introspection, regrets, breakthroughs, and deep connections with loved ones. Throughout it all, Jeff has pursued a search for profound authenticity — a quest for how to be his best self.

Jeff explores his past by sharing the intimate details of his life, with full openness and honesty. He describes the detours and explorations in other belief systems that led him astray, including new age tenets and shamanism — and then the difficult paths that led him back to a Christ-centered life. He acknowledges his sins and his efforts to repent for them, and explains how he forgave others’ sins along the way. It adds up to a beautiful, true story of redemption and hope.

There is much in Jeff’s insightful experiences that others will be able to relate to. Jeff’s guidance and encouragement are marked by stirring questions and the powerful Bible passages that illuminated his own way. Anyone reading this book will find thoughtful lessons, and fellow Christians may find new ways to take stock of their own doubts and personal failings to reconnect with their faith."

Inspiration for Let Your Word Be Your Word:

​

“I can no longer rely on my own wisdom or strength, nor do I want to do so. I must rely on God’s plan and wisdom daily, moment by moment, to carry me through daily life. I am seeking to walk side by side with God daily. I seek obedience in every area of my life and partnering with God while executing my day.

Being obedient to the Trinity may mean being called to help others in the Kingdom of God. When we do not act on this, there can be a ripple effect of slowing down others on their walk with God. I want to be clear that we all need to learn skills and become self-sufficient, but as a church, we all need to build one another up, help, and learn the necessary skills to live out our Book of Life purpose to successfully advance Jesus’s Kingdom on this earth.”

"As we watch the enemy’s influence increasingly permeate our culture, there is an urgency for those that are the Lord’s to rise and operate in our God-designed callings and assignments. Let Your Word be Your Word is a practical tool for those brave enough to ask themselves the difficult and uncomfortable questions as to why we are not doing so effectively. Taking accountability destroys pride within and paves way for the necessary changes that allow us to love and serve the Lord and His people well, as it is time the power and presence of God increasingly permeate and transform our culture!"

BREAK FREE FROM THE CYCLES OF MEDIOCRE RELATIONSHIPS

 

Are you contending with relationships that are in a constant state of chaos, bitterness, unforgiveness, lack of connection, love, respect, defensiveness, lack of accountability, or a cycle where individuals seem unwilling or unable to discern the core roots of the problem?

The god of this world, satan, works endlessly to keep individuals stuck in the ditch, rejecting one another through trauma, sin, demonic cycles, and, more importantly, a lack of accountability. Satan starts with us first and relies on us to carry it forward. The result is repeated cycles that prevent humans from having Godly relationships with one another.

Powerful strategies are needed now more than ever to defeat the devil’s schemes and to experience the breakthrough deliverance that every believer is entitled to in their walk with Christ. This deep, but practical guide will offer you a battle plan to:

• Identify the root causes why dysfunction occurs in relationships [physical, soul wound, and demonic cycles],

• Understand how pride destroys relationships and the underlying core roots to remove them,

• How to use Scripture to maintain being an emotionally safe person for yourself and others daily, and

• Become comfortable with accountability and learning how to become like Jesus daily, so that He can become your life coach.

Envision being equipped to live your life with solid, Biblical communication and conflict resolution skills that will produce fruits of the spirit in all your relationships without all of the anger, hurt, bitterness, betrayal, defensiveness, pride, and rejection that we typically display toward one another. The devil does not like it when we walk in the authority of our Savior, Jesus Christ. When we can walk in unity instead of division with one another, the devil’s plans are cancelled. We can begin to identify the patterns of behavior and thought that hinder us and our loved ones from thriving and walking as the salt of the earth.

Reviews:

As a single mom, life often feels like a balancing act—juggling responsibilities, healing from past wounds, and trying to raise children with integrity and faith. Reading Accountability 101 felt like a deeply personal and spiritual wake-up call. Jeff doesn’t just write a book, he offers a roadmap for transformation, healing, and spiritual maturity, all grounded in Scripture and real-life experience.

What stood out most to me was the book’s emphasis on emotional safety, humility, and the courage to face ourselves. As a mother, I’ve had to be both nurturer and disciplinarian, protector and provider. This book reminded me that true strength comes not from doing it all alone, but from surrendering to God daily and allowing Him to prune the parts of me that are still hurting or reactive.

Jeff’s reflections on soul wounds, generational trauma, and the fear of accountability resonated deeply. Many of us who’ve walked through broken relationships or childhood dysfunction carry invisible scars. His call to “turn ourselves in daily to Jesus” felt like a gentle but firm invitation to stop running from our pain and start healing with God’s help.

The chapters on boundaries, communication, and spiritual warfare were especially powerful. As a single mom, I’ve often struggled with setting boundaries, feeling guilty for saying no. This book reframed boundaries not as walls, but as acts of love and protection, both for myself and my children.

 Whether you’re navigating co-parenting, healing from past relationships, or simply trying to grow in your walk with Christ, Accountability 101 offers wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools. It’s not always an easy read—because growth rarely is—but it’s a necessary one.
