A WOMAN’S HEART FOR GOD: Drawing Closer to the Lover of Your Soul
by Sheila Cragg Worthy
978-1-617951-59-6, PB
235 pages, $14.99

Cragg knows about true pain and chaos in life. Taking care of her ailing husband while still doing duties as a mother and grandmother sometimes became overwhelming. She shares her experiences of finding hope, even when facing physical exhaustion, emotionally low points, and spiritual dryness. Her suggestions are solid and are reinforced by Scripture, but her target readership is assuredly women middle-aged and older.

She speaks with gratitude of how God gave her lessons related to endurance, faithfulness, and peace, and her example of perseverance will make her a role model for all women facing serious trials in their lives.

The book is anecdotal, making it easy to follow, but the illustrations will be somewhat distant for younger women readers.
