This book has been a cool drink of water in my study on faith. I felt as if I was sitting down at a coffee shop fellowshipping with a fellow sister in Christ as I read the contents. I was pleasantly surprised with liking this book so much as I simply picked it up at a thrift store and didn’t know anything about it or the author. It was a refreshing treat.

Faith. Filled book

y and get as lot of good from her books! She. is woman who loves God and you see that in her books?!

[Janet Sketchley]

This is not a book of pat answers, but one that explores the meaning of faith in God when He provides the miracle we're pleading for -- and when He does not. Through Bible verses and personal stories, Sheila Walsh encourages women to discover and rely on God's faithfulness.

I feel like one more round of editing would have tightened the text and made it easier to glean the truths within. As is, at times the chapters felt a bit too conversational (in a rambly sense) but they did always make their point.

This is a straightforward, simple, humor filled, encouraging book that says where ever you are in life, whatever circumstances you face, God loves you and will faithfully walk with you through it. Sheila Walsh takes the time to help us recognize the "fingerprints" of God all over our lives. Definitely worth reading TWICE!

[Lynne]

This book is a wonderful expression of faith by author Sheila Walsh as well as an encouragement to all of us that often feel we're on shaky ground in our walk with God. I like her warmth and the way she draws parallels between the lives of those who people the Bible and those of us who struggle every day. An inspiring work for every Christian to read!

[Cheryl Lynch]

Very good devotional. Sheila Walsh is an excellent author I love her books and I love, love, love to hear her speak.
