Book Reviews of HonestlyBook Review: A most encouraging book Summary: 5 Stars
Sheila has given a gift of hope and encouragement to a hurting heart who needs a touch of compassion. I thought this book, next to the Psalms, was as comforting and uplifting as any I've read. Her poetry is nourishment for a hungry soul. Anyone who has been depressed or is experiencing the loneliness of depression now should get a copy and be shown a way to the Light. There is hope for everyone and she also helps us see that though it may look like someone elses's life is at a pinnacle, it may not be. Even those "on top of it all" can really be at the bottom. We all need help now and then and should never be embarrassed of afraid of seeking it. Buy it and find a path to healing.
Book Review: A refreshing, brutally honest book about clinical depression Summary: 5 Stars
Many of us thought that we were all alone in our struggle with depression!
You are NOT alone! Sheila is honest about her walk through the valley. Find courage and hope through the heart of Sheila Walsh.
Book Review: Every Christian Counselor needs to read this book Summary: 5 Stars
Sheila is highly adept at putting heartfelt feelings into words, with grace and dignity, as I have never seen when it comes to clinical depression and things that send us reeling into anxiety, fear, and depression; and she does it with such a concentration on God's Word and personal experiences that you can "get it"... and they aren't just "pat" answers because she's quick to say that sometimes there just aren't words or answers for some, just hugs and tears. She is so humanly real yet so godly wonderful at the task God has set her on -- to encourage and help women who are struggling. I have read 5 of her books so far (and passed them on) and they are all well worth reading. I highly recommend them to anyone (woman, especially) who need encouragement from someone who experientially knows how they feel in that dark valley...and feel as if no one understands. She definitely does! and, these are some of her other writings that have blessed me:
The Heartache No One Sees: Real Healing for a Woman's Wounded Heart
Living Fearlessly
Life Is Tough, But God Is Faithful: How To See God's Love In Difficult Times
Book Review: Honestly, by Sheila Walsh Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased Sheila Walsh's book, "Honestly", and also "Let Go" about a month ago. I have been reading "Honestly", and find it hard to put down. I've known about Sheila Walsh for many years, have enjoyed her music, but had never read any of her books. This one is definitely a jewell, especially for folks who may be struggling with depression or other challenges of life, relationally or otherwise. She talks about how she lived her life mostly behind a "mask", fearing to let others know what was really going on inside her. Sheila is very open and straight forward in the description of the difficulties she faced, and yet she brings along with that a wonderful sense of hope for healing and restoration. This is a great book, and worth the money and the time to read it.
Book Review: I wanted this one for my personal library! Summary: 5 Stars
A friend recommended this book and I borrowed it from her. When I was finished, I definitely wanted one in my house! This is not just a book about depression or "religion." I was impressed with how well read Sheila Walsh is and her complete authenticity and, well, honesty. I would recommend this book for anyone that wants or has a relationship with the living God of this universe and is ready to be completely honest with themselves and others. There are many great quotes throughout the book.
