(And those who pretend they're not) is the the latest book from author Sheila Walsh. I can remember when the author was on tour with the likes of Steve Taylor in the 80's and was known more for her singing than speaking and being an author. Recently, she has been involved with Women of Faith and speaking engagements. Through these 13 chapters, she points out that It's OKay Not to Be OKay, as she says in the introduction. Some of the titles of chapters are interesting in themselves, I'm Not Waving, I'm Drowning, Hiding, Pretending, and Other Escapes, and Only the Wounded Can Serve. Sheila points out that we are all broken, and in need of a Savior.
Through her own personal suffering and using others as examples, she makes the point that God is always with us and some of the reasons for our brokenness. None of us have all the answers this side of heaven, but Sheila uses scripture and examples of some of the heroes of our faith and how they too, were broken people that God made whole again, and were mightily used by Him.
I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks they need to clean up their act before they come before God, and be reminded that we are all broken and sinful, even if we don't want to admit it.
