Book Review: The Storm Inside by Sheila Walsh
Book Review: The Storm Inside by Sheila Walsh
Trade the Chaos of How You Feel for the Truth of Who You Are
The Storm Inside is all about how to deal with overwhelming emotions so that they do not overtake us. In her many travels and speaking engagements in front of women, Sheila Walsh has found a pattern among the women. We all deal with the same list of strong emotions. They are: heartache, disappointment, fear, bitterness, unforgiveness, anger, regret, abandonment, shame and insecurity.
She has taken one chapter to talk about each of these emotions. In each chapter she has stories, lots of stories, some inspiring, some encouraging, some about herself, some about people she knows, some from the Bible, and all which either illustrate the strength of the emotion for that chapter or the strategy to beat it.
I love that she supplies the remedy and not just talks about the problem. And they all in one way or another involve God. Even more than that they can be boiled down to believing God’s promises and what He says about us. But they are all fleshed out and made specific to each emotion.
Overall I found the book to be well-written and I found the author to be compassionate, understanding and kind towards those who are struggling with these strong emotions. Never condemning nor shaming.
At the end of every chapter there is a clear step by step list of what to do as a strategy to not be overwhelmed by a particular emotion and most also have a short sample prayer to pray.
I would be surprised to hear that someone was struggling with every emotion that she talks about but I would be equally surprised to hear that someone is not struggling with at least one of them at least some of the time. If you can relate to that list of emotions I posted up above then check this book out. It may be just the thing you need to gain victory over that thing.
