Gift copy! Do you ever question God's ability to catch you when you fall?
Do shame, fear, and brokenness keep you from fully trusting God?
Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable? Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable? You are not alone.
This is a book about trust. How we fight it. How we learn to do it. How it transforms us. Life is not safe. That reality slips over us as we grow. Our response to the Father in that reality allows us either to swing higher and higher with the trust of a child . . . or fearfully shrink back from the swing set altogether. As we weigh that choice, God whispers: Trust me.
In a remarkably transparent account, author and speaker Sheila Walsh opens wide her lifelong battle with trust and the moment-by-moment choices she made to follow where God led. Sheila has lived a life ruled by the "hidden places" of insecurity and brokenness and knows the overwhelming beauty of a life wholly handed over to Christ.
As you encounter her struggles and triumphs, you also meet ten of the Bible's transformed-Tabitha, David, Paul, and others-who teach us that in spite of overwhelming circumstances, just one trusting encounter with Christ sets beautiful things in motion. It can resurrect dreams, instill purpose, and ignite hope.

In her book Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God, Sheila Walsh tackles the subject of trusting God. She uses 10 people from the Bible (the prophetess Anna, Mary & Martha, Paul, Tabitha, Gideon, Joseph, Samson, Nicodemus, & Abraham) along with her own story to address 12 types of beauty (the beauty of: courage, brokenness, transparency, waiting & being present, crying out to Jesus, seeing, a quiet trust, taking a step forward, forgiving, a last chance, giving your all, & a pilgrim). The book features an in-depth study guide which can be used individually or within a group study. Sheila's purpose in writing this book is to encourage the reader to learn to trust God more & through this, allow more beautiful things to happen in the reader's life.
I have read a number of Sheila's books in the past & so I was very excited to read her newest book. I was not disappointed. Sheila's down to earth & honest writing allows every reader to feel understood. Her writing is extremely easy to relate too. She utilizes Scripture throughout the book to support her subject. I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. It is definitely one that will stay on my shelf & be read again & again. One of the final thoughts in Sheila's book sums up what this terrific book is all about, "When I stand before the Lamb of God & finally look into Jesus' eyes, I want my life to have become a thing of beauty-not because I got it all right but because with all my heart I trusted God."
