Honestly - Hardcover

How a Passage of Pain Became a Journey to JoyTalented and beautiful, Sheila Walsh seemed to be on top of the world. But behind her public success as a performing artist and talk show host, a private story was unfolding. Unable to cope with the inner turmoil that plagued her, Sheila stepped down as cohost of television’s 700 Club to deal with a pain too pressing to ignore.Honestly takes you on a journey past the walls that most of us put up and into the recesses of one woman’s heart. With rare grace, Sheila shares the story of her pilgrimage—the journey of a soul as it moved from hopelessness to honesty to freedom, and, ultimately, to a deepened faith and joy. With unrelenting candor, Sheila probes beyond the surface of her troubles to find a truth strong and real enough to set her free.Honestly shows how facing the things about ourselves that we try hardest to hide—fearful specters of loss, shame, and doubt—puts us on the high road to God’s liberating love and grace. Though the details may vary, Sheila’s story is in many ways the story of us all as we seek to deepen our ability to love and be loved and to learn the lessons that only adversity can teach.
