Okay, I admit I felt a little odd when I picked up my wife's copy of Living Fearlessly. I mean, this is a woman's book, right? Wrong! This is a Christian's book ... forget the stereotypes.

I found this sitting on our bookshelf right at a time when I was fighting an intense spiritual battle against fear and anxiety. I know that scripture teaches us not to live in fear, but it's a hard lesson to get that knowledge from your head to your heart. Thanks so much to Sheila Walsh for making that lesson a little easier.

The insights offered in this book are born of Sheila's actual life experiences, most of them crucial tests of her faith and character. She opens up some of the darkest and most personal secrets of her own life and bares her soul for all to see, just so we can learn from her experience. It is extremely rare to read such an emotionally gripping work, primarily because I felt like I could relate to so much of what she described in her own life. It was like looking in a mirror.

But it's not all seriousness and tears. There is a bright and happy wit that comes shining through in some wonderfully funny stories and insights. This book is a beautifully balanced look at some of life's toughest questions, and one of life's toughest lessons -- how to find joy in Jesus Christ in the midst of your darkest hours.

No, this isn't just a woman's book. Take it from a man who read it, loved it, fought back tears, and learned from it. In the midst of life's battles, it's encouraging to know that others before me have fought the same battles and won. Giving someone hope in the midst of their fearful times is a great gift indeed.

This book was a great buy. I purchased it at a Women of Faith Conference in which I attended. She spoke of instances from this book. The book helps to explore her life, her feelings, and her journey of living fearlessly. She writes true experiences, always protraying her human side as well as her spiritual side. If you've seen her speak, I would definetly encourage you to read this book. It's a great book and makes a great gift.

This book CHANGED MY LIFE... very similar to the way that a major event, like the holocaust, or 9/11 can really rock you with the realities of humanity, and the faithfulness of God in the midst of them.. so Sheila's book will overwhelm you with the realities of God in the middle of your circumstances. Read about countless women who endured and overcame by the blood of the Lamb and find courage to do so yourself. A precious, precious work of the heart.

this book is so good ordered a copy for my sister too!
thank you for the fast service

My sister lent me this book when I was really struggling with the fears of what COULD happen in this large scary city that I recently moved to. What a gem this book is! Sheila talks a lot about her fears, about other people who have lived through the fears that she has, and about God's faithfulness in the midst of hard circumstances. It's really a book about trusting God - something that I need constantly. I am now going to purchase my own copy because a lesson like this is hard to get into my head and the way I think the first time through. I would highly recommend this book to anyone... ANYONE! This is encouragement for the worried and anxious soul to lay aside those worries and trust that God is good and that He gives us what we need... just like He promised!
