What to expect

Bestselling author and Bible teacher Sheila Walsh unpacks the deepest longings of a woman’s heart and encourages listeners to discover God’s relentless pursuit of them through those very longings.

We vowed we’d never repeat the same mistakes—yet we find ourselves right where we started. What is it that keeps drawing us back into the same old traps? The fact is, our longings are built from the blueprint of our needs—for protection, for love, for God—and those needs aren’t going anywhere.

Sheila speaks candidly about the trials in her life, including the heartache of her first marriage, 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 us until that hunger is properly satisfied.

If we keep reaching out to the wrong people at the wrong times in our own lives, The Longing in Me will help us understand that our cravings are not the problem; it’s where they lead us that makes all the difference.

Critics Review

  • “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, New York Times bestselling author

  • “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

  • “Sheila Walsh has the uncanny ability to plumb the deepest truths without sounding superficial or preachy. She touches the heart, soothes the soul, and lifts the spirit.”

    Max Lucado, New York Times bestselling author

  • “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, bestselling author of Brush of Wings
