Publisher's summary

Best-selling 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.

Requesting Shelia's reading

I missed Shelia Walsh's voice raading this. All of the others books that I have written by her, were read by her. i hope she will consider submitting this book with her narrating.

Fabulous Book - horrible narrator

What did you love best about The Longing in Me?

Sheila became truly authentic with us in this book.

What didn’t you like about Karen White’s performance?

She sounded like a robot

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Looking for love in all the wrong places

Any additional comments?

A new narrator would be nice

Intense and Relatable

The way the author brings us in and out of her life lessons with powerful scriptures is outstanding! She clearly describes lessons from many books in the Bible and engages the reader to reflect and gain a deeper understanding of their role on their path with Jesus. INCREDIBLE!
