Book Review - Let go by Sheila Walsh

Sheila Walsh's Let Go is like a breath of fresh air. While it lives up to it's title and will help you learn to let go, it also teaches you how to accept and love yourself. As women, we take on so much, much more than we need to and often more than others expect us to. We are own biggest critics and our own worst enemy. We beat ourselves up for every little real or perceived flaw. Even when we have big enough hearts to forgive others, we often can't forgive ourselves. The words are so simple, Let Go. But how many of us can actually do that? How many of us have the courage to put ourselves in higher hands and believe that things will happen as they are supposed to? Believe, another simple little word that has such huge shoes to fill. Let Go is a book about faith and it makes you believe in a higher power and yourself. Walsh examines the many issues women face. She uses biblical references, famous quotes and personal stories to show you how to walk a life filled with grace. Her words and point of view are decidedly Christian, but her message is universal and can be adapted to your personal faith. You don't have to be religious to appreciate the words of wisdom she imparts in this book. So many inspirational self-help books come across as preachy and have an air of judgement about them. Instead of helping you, they end up making you focus on the negative. Walsh has a self-depreciating approach that instantly draws you in. Reading her book was like sitting down with an old friend. You know the one who you haven't talked to in awhile but who knows what all your hopes and dreams were, and probably a few of your dark secrets as well. That friend whose arms you may have cried in when you needed support; who didn't sugar coat it when you were headed down the wrong path or messed things up; who never once judged you even when she didn't agree with your views or choices. I could give you a synopsis of what each chapter entails, but my words would not do it justice. This is a book that you just have to read for yourself to absorb the hope and peace it offers. This book deserves all five stars and then some.

Her book talks about deliverance but I don't think she is aware the God has delivered all of us a gift in Sheila Walsh.
