“As much as I love starting the day with a big, steaming cup of coffee, I love starting the day with Jesus more. Because while caffeine gives me a short supply of energy, time spent with our Creator-Redeemer gives me an abundant supply of joy, hope and peace. Plus, hanging out with Him helps tame the grumpy-while-in-traffic beast within me. Which means my dear friend Sheila’s newest book is a must-have in my morning routine and probably should be in yours too!”

Sheila Walsh is an amazing Christian writer. You can tell from her heartfelt words she is a true believer. Her words provide such motivation to let Jesus in and follow your heart to him. Her new book “5 Minutes with Jesus” is a great devotional that gives us advice for the real world on how to grow closer to God. I share these each day with my teen sons and it really opens up discussion

“Nothing transforms us like the Word of God. If you spend even 5minutes with Him in His word,  the entire trajectory of your life can alter.”

“If I want live out God’s truths,  I must get His truths into me. My thinking, my processing, and my feelings all need to be bossed around by God’s Word! I can’t think of a more valuable way to spend 5 minutes then to dive into truth with my brilliant friend, Sheila and this new devotional, “5 minutes with Jesus.”  Perfect for morning devotions or for capturing moments with the Lord throughout the day.”

“God wants to speak to you even more than you want to hear from Him. Most people are afraid to draw near only to discover that God is silent. Listening & truly hearing is an art that it is well worth the time it takes to develop.”

Moving and humorous stories based on various topics that lead up to various bible verses on that topic. Very inspiring and helpful when you only have a few minutes to sit and spend with Jesus.

Another winning book from author and speaker Sheila Walsh. I love this one because it’s short and sweet. It gives me just enough to think on throughout the day and challenges me even though it’s short. Perfect for moms on the go!
