About The Book:
Do you ever question God's ability to catch you when you fall?
Do shame, fear, and brokenness keep you from fully trusting God?
Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable?
You are not alone.
Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God is all about trust. How we fight it. How we learn to do it. How it transforms us.
Life is not safe. That reality slips over us as we grow. Our response to the Father in that reality allows us either to swing higher and higher with the trust of a child . . . or fearfully shrink back from the swing set altogether.
As we weigh that choice, God whispers: Trust me.
In a remarkably transparent account, author and speaker Shelia Walsh opens wide her lifelong battle with trust and the moment-by-moment choices she made to follow where God led.
Shelia has lived a life ruled by "hidden places" of insecurity and brokenness and knows the overwhelming beauty of a life wholly handed over to Christ. As you encounter her struggles and triumphs, you also meet ten of the Bible's transformed-Tabitha, David, Paul, and others-who teach us that in spite of overwhelming circumstances, just one trusting encounter with Christ sets beautiful things in motion.
It can resurrect dreams, instill purpose, and ignite hope.
Discover what beautiful things can happen when you trust God.
My Thoughts:
You know, the bible promises in so many places that if we trust God beautiful things will happen. The trusting part is hard sometimes though. We think we can do everything on our own and we don't need help from anyone or even God sometimes. This book will help you to let go of your anxieties and worry and learn to trust God in everything. Reading about Sheila's personal struggles and how she has overcome them was inspiring and encouraging. Anyone who has struggled with depression will find Sheila's story real and familiar. Her level of trust in God is something for me to aspire to reach. I recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration for any kind of struggle in their life and how to find God in the middle of those struggles.
Inspiring.

I've seen Sheila several times at Women Of Faith conferences. She never fails to move and inspire...

This sounds like a good book, I will have to check it out. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteI think the power of trust lies in the ability to bring you perspective. 'Letting go' of some of the factors you cannot control can be very liberating as we realize that we do not have to control everything. But it is also incredibly hard. In Jewish spirituality (I am Jewish :)), 'trust' is one of the hardest character qualities to cultivate in our spiritual discipline. Our impulse to distrust, to be suspicious or to demand proof is overwhelming. On the other hand, there is a danger that too much trust can lead to apathy. We can pray that God gives us strength and grace and that we believe in our capability to utilize those gifts.
