God Loves Broken People And Those Who Pretend They're Not By Sheila Walsh


Book Description

Readers encounter a new message about God's redemptive plan for their failures and shortcomings.

One bite of forbidden fruit is all it took to send humanity reeling from God. What Sheila Walsh unveils in God Loves Broken People is that God had a divine plan even then that is hidden underneath our pain and mistakes. God intends to wield our failures, our wanderings, and the deep hurt of our lives not only to drive us toward him but also to give us a deeper experience of his grace and healing power.

So many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, look at their wounds and sense that they are somehow beyond repair, that their moments of weakness make them spiritually defective. In this powerful book full of deep biblical teaching, Walsh encourages readers with God's truth that he is not done with them yet, that he can and will redeem their failures to create a deeper intimacy with him and accomplish his kingdom purposes.

Everyone has messed up somehow, sometime. For anyone who is not able to move beyond and experience the deep love and grace of God, they need God Loves Broken People.

Book Review

After recently going to a Women of Faith conference and drooling at the merchandise tables full of books from the speakers. I was so excited to see a book become available through Booksneeze from one of those women speakers. I remember enjoying hearing Shelia Walsh while in Charlotte and I can say after reading her book her stage personality shined through. I could visualize her saying every word. I have been going through the Beth Moore series, Breaking Free and I found God Loves Broken People tying right along with it. She does a great job tying together her personal experiences and those of others with the points she makes throughout the book. I would say her targeted audience is for a middle to older aged woman who is married with children but as a middle aged single female I gleaned from it as well.
