Sheila's insight to the heart of God

Is amazing! I fully appreciated her insight, personal stories and heart poured into each devotion. I hope to find many more of her devotionals this one truly blessed me.

This book can best be summarized by the words on the back cover: "Delightful and insightful, Sheila Walsh shares life-learned trust that says, "I don't know where you're going today, Lord, but I'm going with you!"

This book contains over 100 morning devotional readings. Each begins with the words, "Good morning, Lord! Today help me to . . . " The message that follows combines personal anecdotes with Scriptural insight. The author follows the story section with questions designed to get you to think deeply about your own life and apply the message you've just read. Some of these are tough questions, with no yes/no answers. Space is provided for readers to journal their answers. Sheila ends each message with a short prayer, and a verse or two of Scripture.

As a devotional writer myself, I have a high standard for such books. The readings have more depth than is often the case in devotional books. The questions caused me to dig deep, and gave me substance for reflective prayer. I found the questions more challenging than normal, which I liked. I also appreciated the Scripture coming at the end of the meditation, confirming the truths I had just read.

Although the readings are mostly suitable for men and women alike, the appearance of the book limits it to women. I would recommend this book as a gift, particularly to women going through difficult times. On the back cover, Sheila promises to jump-start your day with a God-sized adventure, and that is what she does in this attractive, hard-covered book. The unusual glossy hard cover with an embossed finish makes this book a lovely gift for the woman who likes to think about what she is reading.

Good Morning, Lord
I Don't Know Where You Are Going Today, But I'm Going With You
by Sheila Walsh

This compilation of devotionals by Sheila Walsh would make a perfect gift for that friend or family member wanting to grow their relationship with God. Each devotional builds on the previous day's, but they also stand on their own to deliver a strong message of God's love.

Each devotional is written with the strong message that God loves us with a grace we can't explain. Good Morning, Lord contains thought provoking stories, earnest prayers and a verse that speaks to the heart of the reader. This book would be appropriate for young adult readers to apply to their daily life struggles and relationships as well as adults of all ages.

Sheila Walsh, accomplished musician and author, penned this discerning devotional journal, Good Morning Lord to encourage women to “jumpstart” their day with the Lord. She writes in the refreshing voice and from the cheery perspective she’s so well known for. Readings are suitable for men or women, but the glossy, attractive design with embossed flower cover is especially well-matched for women.

Sheila’s writings encourage readers to look for the hand of God in everything they encounter throughout the day and to approach each day as an adventure with the Lord. This attitude is reflected in over 100 devotions that begin with “Good Morning, Lord.” In the same way readers are encouraged to find hope, healing, redemption and spiritual peace especially those who suffer from a painful past, regret, fear or insecurity…Full Review: http://tinyurl.com/dyvqtjc
