Let Go: Live Free of the Burdens All Women Know By Sheila Walsh / Thomas Nelson |
Women bear heavy burdens, and turning to their church is not always a pleasant thought. Fear of judgment and criticism leave them feeling isolated and hopeless, adding weight to their already unbearable load. Sheila Walsh is not afraid to tackle this subject from both ends. How do we find answers when we are hurting, and how should we respond to those who turn to us for encouragement?
Beware: This is not a book of trite happy thoughts and canned Sunday school answers. Sheila confronts the reality of the troubles women face as they struggle with depression, self-hatred, forgiveness, and temptation. She acknowledges the toughness of situations such as abuse and addiction, while gently leading the hurting to a healing God. Sheila is also kind but convicting as she reveals how the church contributes to the problem with "our words, our tone, and our body language that can make others feel isolated and judged."
This book is easy to digest as it blends short pieces of personal stories, biblical accounts, and fictional illustrations. Sheila is incredibly open about her own life, her personal struggles, and her judgmental blunders as she leads her readers to let go and be delivered by God.
