Review: When a Woman Trusts God by Sheila Walsh

Beautiful Things Happen when a Woman Trusts God is an interesting collection of stories from Sheila Walsh's life.

Sheila Walsh's life may have seemed rosy at one time ~ being in the spotlight on the 700 club. However, no one really knew the hidden extent of fear, anxiety and struggles that later led her to a month-long stay in the psychiatric ward.

Through the course of many twists and turns, Sheila reveals the ways God has helped her through many difficult challenges, and always provided for her every need.

This book even includes an in-depth Bible study, which can be used for small groups or individuals wanting a deeper study.

Review: Jesus Lives by Sarah Young

Jesus Lives is a wonderful pocket-sized devotional written by Sarah Young. I was originally introduced to Sarah Young through her other book Jesus Calling. Jesus Lives is written in a different style, but is just as much an amazing and encouraging devotional!

Rather than the format of a daily devotional, Jesus Lives is broken up by category. You can easily look up all relevant devotional writings by category in the table of contents, which directly aligns with themes throughout the life of Jesus.

Feeling worried, fearful, full of anxiety, or lacking of faith? These issues and so many more are addressed with how Jesus would respond and encourage us to do the same.

Jesus Lives is a fantastic devotional, and I highly recommend it!
