God Loves Broken People by Sheila Walsh

The author explores the relationship between brokenness, wounds, and God’s love. She illustrates each with a number of stories and doesn’t back away from the tough questions. Usually Sheila Walsh does an exceptional job in addressing her topic from her own life, but this book included an excessive number of others’ anecdotes and illustrations. Sheila did include a fair number of biblical citations and quotations. One plus in this book are the Three Solid Truths the author mentioned, including choosing to run to Jesus. This book was not as thorough or cohesive as most of Sheila Walsh’s books. While it was interesting, it was not as challenging, inspiring or enlightening as most of her books usually are. I received this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
