"Let Go" by Sheila Walsh

My initial thoughts when beginning to read this book were wondering how a beautiful and talented woman like Sheila Walsh could ever suffer from depression. But she captures us from the beginning and tells us brief segments of her life and of her family. In so doing, she becomes like so many of us, doing the best we can and searching for a better life.

Ms. Walsh leads us on an inspirational path to bring those of us who have gotten lost along the way, back to God. She also helps us to keep Satan at bay, for he was defeated by Christ, and how to pray for our children and bring them back to God. She teaches us to “Let Go” and trust in the Lord, and to build our hope on Christ. She shows us how times can be so dark during a bout of extreme depression, but how our trust in Christ can pull us through and out of the darkness and back into the light.

A passage that I especially enjoyed was when she said that, “Jesus never minimized sin, but he separated the sinner from the sin that had a hold on her. This means he might not like what you do, but he absolutely, unconditionally adores you yourself.” She also mentions that, “No one on this planet has to eat alone because Jesus has a table for two with each of our names on it.” As a single woman, I find comfort in knowing that I am not eating alone, but sitting at the table with the one who lives me totally and unconditionally.

Sheila Walsh has a lot to tell you and I recommend that you buy her book and learn how to “Let Go.”
