Publisher's Description
Bestselling author and Bible teacher Sheila Walsh unpacks the deepest longings of a woman’s heart and encourages readers to discover God’s relentless pursuit of them through those very longings. In The Longing in Me, Sheila Walsh speaks candidly about the trials in her life and intertwines her story with the biblical saga of King David. As both Sheila’s and David’s stories make clear, some cravings are misguided, but they all stem from the same hunger—and they will haunt you until that hunger gets satisfied properly. If you keep reaching out to the wrong people at the wrong times in your own life, The Longing in Me will help you understand that your cravings are not the problem. It’s where they lead you that makes all the difference. “Sheila is a truth-teller, wise counsel, and a force of raw honesty in a harsh world that begs us to be perfect. This book sings of release from unfair expectations, from my own self-condemnation, and into the arms of Jesus who has no notion of halfway love.” —Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author of For the Love "We share an ache in our hearts, an emptiness in our souls. It's an emptiness only God can fill. Sheila’s book taught me that in new and beautiful ways. Now it's your turn.” —Karen Kingsbury, #1 New York Times bestselling novelist
