Book Review- God Loves Broken People

I just finished reading Sheila Walsh's, God Loves Broken People courtesy of BookSneeze and really enjoyed it. Walsh, has walked through difficult times and many experiences that have led to brokenness. His healing, and a mindset full of God's Word as truth have allowed her brokenness to be used for His glory...and a reminder to others that we all experience suffering and brokenness. Walsh gives a truth-filled reminder of purpose in the brokenness and honest look at a restoration process that makes it possible to be useful again for His purposes. She reminds the reader that many of the heroes of the faith from Biblical times through contemporaries have battled their own times of brokenness. Walsh is very open about her own challenges and the truth of how God has healed and restored her. Her vulnerability gives the reader hope and an example of how God can restore and use a broken person for His greater glory after brokenness. The process of suffering moves and changes us from what we've decided we were to who God has created us to be...and He is still at work, Phil 1:6! 
Suffering is guaranteed in this life. God guarantees to be with us through the suffering. Sheila Walsh reminds us that God will restore, establish, strengthen and settle us.

Her wonderful thought, may it encourage you as you seek after Christ as His beloved and broken person.

"To be broken is to follow in Christ’s footsteps. But to embrace it is to follow His heart."
