Book review - The Storm Inside

I recently got the opportunity to review the new book The Storm Inside, by Sheila Walsh, as part of the launch team for this book. Of course, anything that has to do with a storm these days, I know I will totally be able to relate to and glean something from, as this past year has been quite the huge storm. The Lord has shown me repeatedly though, through the storm, that He is the anchor that gives us hope. This book was an encouragement in repeatedly conveying that truth.

Topics of transformation that are discussed in the book are:

From Disappointment to Hope 
From Unforgiveness to Freedom 
From Shame to Love 
From Regret to Rest 
From Fear to Joy 
From Insecurity to Confidence 
From Insignificance to Courage 
From Despair to Faith 
From Rage to Restoration

Sheila has a great way of being able to grab her readers' attention with her honestly, her sense of humor, and her great illustrations and stories, then dive deeper into the truth found in Scripture. She dispels lies from the enemy and replaces them with facts on God's Sovereignty, love, and knowing care for His children. By the end of the book, I was encouraged once again of the strength my Savior gives for not only getting through storms, but learning from them and maybe even being able to dance a little in the rain. :)

If you or someone you know is going through a hard time right now, this is a great new book to pick up to provide some comfort and encouragement of the truth. And if not, you'll still want to get it, because chances are, we all have just come out of a storm, are in one now, or one's on the way! :)

I am oh so grateful that the Creator of storms is also the Creator of hope and of beauty still ahead.
