Beautiful Things Happen When A Woman Trusts God [Sheila Walsh]
This book was absolutely wonderful! I picked up this book not really knowing what it was about, but the title “Beautiful Things Happen When A Woman Trusts God” grabbed my attention. I was surprised I enjoyed this book as much as I did because I was afraid it was just going to be another dry memoir of the many dark times in the authors life. On the contrary, while it was a collection of stories about the authors life, every story seemed to pierce my heart and relate to me in some way (however far the stretch). It was a mixed bag of funny stories, sad stories, and personal trials--but I enjoyed the variety and the many lessons that had me reflecting on how beautiful God is.

I have always had trust issues and have actually been working to overcome these in a recent Discovery-Training I have been going through. Sheila Walsh pieces together several experiences from her life to paint a beautiful example of what freedom looks like. She went from a patient in a mental health clinic to using her story to inspire other women who are trapped in their own insecurities. While I am young and have not dealt with any “mental illness” and don’t directly relate to a lot of the things she went through, she really hit home with me early on in the book which kept me reading.
I will recommend it with 4/5 stars because it is definitely above average, and definitely worth your time.
