About this listen
The other side of brokenness...
"If I could write only one book in my lifetime, I would ask God to make it this one...." (Sheila Walsh)
God loves broken people. And when weary, wounded men and women find a way to open their bruised hearts and somehow welcome Him into their personal darkness, they will find a love beyond anything they have ever known.
When the glass house Sheila had lived in for so many years came crashing to the ground, she began a new life outside the safety of those walls. No, it didn't feel good, nor safe - not at all. But it felt true. Sheila saw herself as a broken lamb limping after the Shepherd, not knowing where He was going, but knowing that wherever He went, she wanted to go with Him.
In 12 stirring, insightful, and deeply revealing chapters, Sheila Walsh shows how personal brokenness can open doors of intimacy with Jesus Christ that might never open in any other way.
It's not that God loves broken people more than those who imagine themselves to be whole - it's simply that they know they are loved. They dare to believe it...and through such trust, a new wholeness emerges from yesterday's broken pieces.

Most Christian women live with a deep sense that they can't seem to get things right, that if only they could be a little better, life would straighten out.

She writes, "Christ comes not to get us out of our difficulties but to live in us through them."

Now more than ever, we're all weary from the loads we carry and the challenges we face. We have questions we cannot answer and problems we cannot solve. We'd hoped that life would be an invigorating adventure or an inspiring journey. We never expected to grow so tired so quickly. But Max teaches us that we can find fresh strength and purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible makes more than a hundred references to the Holy Spirit, and Jesus says more about the Spirit than he does about the church, marriage, finances, and the future. But do we really know the Spirit?

A wonderful book that encourages a relationship with Christ, as opposed to a religion. Shiela is down to earth and helps a person who might not otherwise read it, want to enjoy the Bible for themselves.
