Publisher's Description
How do you turn your struggles into strengths? Beloved Bible teacher Sheila Walsh teaches readers how the daily spiritual practices of confession, meditation on God’s Word, and prayer result in fresh freedom in Christ. In her long-awaited book, Sheila Walsh equips women with a practical method for connecting with God’s strength in the midst of struggle. From daily frustrations that can feel like overwhelming obstacles to hard challenges that turn into rock-bottom crises, women will find the means to equip themselves for standing strong with God. Using the spiritual applications of confession, prayer, and meditation on Scripture to form a daily connection to Jesus, women will learn how to experience new joy as a child of God who is fully known, fully loved, and fully accepted. In In the Middle of the Mess, Walsh reveals the hardened defenses that kept her from allowing God into her deepest hurts and shares how entering into a safe place with God and practicing this daily connection with him have saved her from the devil’s prowling attacks. Though we will never be completely “fixed” on earth, we are continually held by Jesus, whatever our circumstances. Sheila Walsh acts as our guardian in In the Middle of the Mess as she shows us we’re not alone in our struggles, guides us through a courageous journey of self-discovery, and reminds us where to find hope, comfort, and strength in tough times.

“This book will not only change your life—it may just literally save your life. It is one rare, luminous, astonishingly brave book, saying what too many of us in the shadows have been desperate for someone to speak out loud for years. Sheila Walsh is not only a brazenly vulnerable, fearless warrior, she speaks unwavering truth that shatters the dark into a freeing light. It’s a long time since I’ve read such a book and I weep for joy that someone finally wrote a literal lifeline. This woman is my hero.”
“In this daring and breathtaking book, Sheila Walsh will take you by the hand and bring you to a place where it’s okay not to be okay—a safe place of authenticity and hope where true healing abides. Don’t hesitate. Let her guide you on this courageous journey of personal and spiritual discovery.”
“In the Middle of the Mess boldly combats the lie that we are alone in our struggles and unqualified by them. In a world overrun by social media it’s easy to forget that no one is without hardship. Sheila’s beautiful vulnerability will remind us all that while we may see ourselves through the skewed filter of the world, God sees us through the cleansing blood of Jesus, perfect and whole.”
“Hello, Sun! Hello, Stars! This book is dedicated with love and gratitude to every brave soul who chooses life day after day in the middle of the mess. You are beautiful to me. “Once you are real you can’t become unreal again. It lasts for always.”
