The book encourages parents and grandparents to make their faith real to the next generation. This book is rich with practical examples from the Ruth and Billy Graham's example. This book draws so much history and helps the reader apply this book to their lives.

Holding on When You Want to Let Go by Sheila Walsh

  #Holding on When You Want to Let Go# by Sheila Walsh is a Christian living book. Sheila is an author, Bible teacher and television host. She is the cohost of Life Today. She has written many practical books. She wants to make the Bible practical and personal. She shares her heart and life difficulties when she writes. I find her personal stories so real and so easy to connect with. Sheila shares about her very difficult times and how we can find that Jesus can help us and meet us where we are at in our times of need. She encourages us to hold on to Jesus and draw close to Him so He can draw near to us. She encourages us to pray and read our Bibles during times of difficulty. The book is well written and a huge help during times of difficulty. Sheila wrote a Bible study guide to go with #Holing On When You Want to Let Go#. The book would be good for a Women's Bible study. I commend Sheila for writing this book and sharing her heart to others who might need it. Thank you to the pub
