A Wonderful Book!

I love this small book! Perhaps part of that has to do with my affection for it's author, Sheila Walsh. I have attended over 10 Women of Faith Conferences in past years and Sheila was always my favorite speaker. She is so transparent as a Christian woman! You read her books or hear her speak and you feel like you're having a deep conversation with your best friend! This book is no different. The short Devotionals and scriptures pack so much into a few pages. I have read and reread it several times already. Sheila writes from her heart and tells you stories right from her life. The devotionals enable you to walk in her shoes, thus applying the teaching to your own life. Very practical as well as faith-filled and entertaining! I recommend this book to all women!

Amazing devotional!

This devotional is easy to use. Sheila used life stories that engage you with the Scriptures given. My toes were stepped on, heart spoken too, and challenges were issued. I highly recommend this book and the rest of her devotionals in this series! Thanks Mrs.Walsh for your service to our Lord.

Easy to read

This is a very nice little devotional book that is easy to understand. I think it would be great for teenage girls as well as women when you just need a few minutes of devotion. It's too simplified for me, but still enjoyed it.

5 Minutes with JESUS

5 Minutes with JESUS shares daily living experiences - a little book based on Biblical truth, entwined into livingness through short stories by Mrs. Walsh, a well known Biblical Teacher. I enjoy my copy in morning devotions and have purchased additional for sharing /encouraging Friends.

5 minutes with Jesus

I loved the short very thoughtful passages. I especially enjoyed the way the author made scripture relative to my own life. I would recommend this book to be read by every person who is too busy to take the time to communicate to our Lord and Savior. There would be no more excuses for finding the time to listen to God's message.

Great stories

I just love this devotional. I had one that I gave away and just had to have one for me, so... I really love the stories that make up the devotionals. Very interesting, very appropriate. Great devotional.

I am very thankful for Sheila WALSH. She is REAL and very Compassionate. She draws people to the Savior through her honesty and humanity.

Great Read

Very inspirational. The Word of God inspires, heals and gives us life. This book let's us in on real trials that we all have and gives the solution. God's Word. Thank you Sheila. for the truth. Even though we have read those Scriptures many times, they never ever get old.

Great devotional.

I read one of the devotions a day. I am on my second time to go through the book. Sheila Walsh is funny and also very knowledgeable. Enjoy reading this devotional.

Reading On The Run

The author does a superb job of weaving personal story, scripture, and probing questions. Without tipping her hand, she leads readers through her version of the Lecto Divina, a well-proven way of wedding reading and reflecting on Scripture, praying, and listening for and responding to God's voice. I strongly advise those who are on the run to pause long enough to purchase, read, and practice 5 Minutes With Jesus.--Anthony L. Trufant

Perfect for busy women, relevant and applicable

I loved this book. Sheila Walsh writes excellent devotionals that fit into our busy days but have meaning and impact long after one is finished reading! She brings the lessons of Christ into our everyday situations in a clear, relatable way. I recommend this book to anyone who wants more of Christ in her life!

REAT LITTLE GIFT BOOK FOR SOMEONE

THIS WAS GIVEN TO ME & IS A GREAT LITTLE GIFT TO GIVE SOMEONE. CAME QUCIKLY. GREAT PRICE

Awesome!

Love this book! Very inspirational! Enjoyed reading her entry and the Bible verses every evening. She is a wonderful author!

Best 5 minutes of your day

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.

Inspiring

Love the format. A quick little story then the 1 sentence message and 4-5 bible verses that reinforced the message.

Awesome

Awesome book. I can really relate to what the author is saying and it makes scripture come alive for me in a new way.

We all need 5 minutes alone with our Savior

Of course I give this 5 stars! I love Jesus and think Sheila Walsh is a great writer. She is very real and transparent in everything that she writes.

Bible Study devotional

This is our third book by this author. They have all been such a blessing to my women's Bible study/devotion group

Great way to spend a little more time in God's Word

I like that it only takes a few minutes to get closer to Jesus.

Loved it!!!

I wish the book was longer. Each devotional is very apropos and thought worthy!! Going to give this as gifts!

Five Stars

Her style is so simple and straight forward. Prayers are always inspired after I read a devotion.

A sip from the well

This is a great book for times when you need a quick sip from the Well of Living Water. The short readings, accompanied by related scriptures (the full text, not just the reference) are perfect for making good use of time spent waiting in offices or elsewhere.

A talk with Jesus...

I havent finish this book yet....but so far so good....im glad i purchased this for my son...

Loved reading it daily!!

I liked the stories in the devotional, they were real stories like things that have happened in my life or someone I cared about. Plus the scriptures that pertained to the story correlated so it brought the scripture alive!!

Super devotional for teens and adults

A great way to begin the day or end the night!!!! This is one devotional I have stuck with. There are no dates in each page so you can start any day!

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this devotional. The chapters were short but they contained material for the heart this I needed to hear. On to her next book!

Valuable 5 Minutes

I chose the rating because there was not one day that my heart was not encouraged. Sheila addresses the real stuff of life and is always willing to share hers. I know she has truly experienced God's healing in her life.

Will buy more soon

Great book! Bought extras and blessed others with them.

Great devotional!

Love this devotional!! Completed with my staff at a Christian preschool and we all felt like Sheila was talking directly to us! She has a way to paint word pictures like few others we've ever encountered! I even ordered the book for several other women in my life as a Christmas gift!

Bought this as a gift and she couldn't stop raving over it! The size is cute and portable and the content is encouraging and helpful for those who want to start carving out daily time in God's Word.

DO NOT PASS THIS UP!

This is one of the most comforting reads. I only read one section a day....just to make it last longer! It became one of my daily reads and I intend to read it over and over again! It would be a great gift for anyone young or old. So much wisdom and food for thought in it.

Great devo book

I liked the topics and especially the related scriptures at the end. Sheila Walsh has great insight and uses life lessons to help the reader get closer to God.

We've really enjoyed

My husband and I use this at bedtime to help us do a mini Bible study each night. We've really enjoyed it

This is a great devotional book for those who have to carve out a few minutes at a time to practice the presence of God. I highly recommend it.

Relaxing reading.

Great reading material before going to bed.

Excellent and thoughtful

Sheila Walsh delights the reader with thought-provoking personal stories that invite the reader to take a closer look at her journey with Christ!

Best Way To Start Your Day

Love this devotional. Practical topics we all deal with. I have already gone through the devotions once and I'm on my 2nd time through right now. Sheila is so down to earth, yet possesses vast biblical knowledge. She speaks to me at my level.

Five Stars

I really liked her 'thought" points. Had a real sense of God's heart for each of us.

Beautiful!

I've loved Sheila Walsh since I saw her 15 or so years ago at a Women of Faith conference. I got this lovely book for my sister and she LOVES it!

Wonderful Book By Sheila

I absolutely love this book, I read it daily. It brings me a touch of encouragement each and everyday. You can't beat anything written by Sheila Walsh, she is great, and this book is just another prime example of her wonderful writing of encouragement for us. Thank you Sheila.

Great little devotional!

Sheila Walsh is honest and up front. I love her accent, but her writing even more with only 5 minutes is a great way to get your focus on the Lord. I have given some as gifts to friends.

Inspiring Devotions

I read a chapter each commute on my daily commute. The stories and the scripture help me focus and get in the right spirit for the day.

Great daily devotional!

This is a wonderful devotional! I really enjoy how Sheila gives bible verses at the end to help us understand how the word of God applies to situations in our lives.

Sheila Walsh is the best!

Sheila write from the heart and her own experiences.

A great book to read

I love this book. Highly recommend it to anybody needing 5 minutes or more with Jesus. It has helped me to through my tough times in life knowing that Jesus is there to pick me back up. I read it every night before going to bed.

Jesus is there for all of us

My husband and I read a chapter everynight when we went to be. It gave us both something to think about.

Starting my day with "5 minutes..." makes a difference!

Loved the authors insight on staying close to God & His word... Especially when you're walking through the good, bad and the ugly times of life.

Love it!

Love it - perfect for a morning/evening devotional. Reads well and is very relateable.

Good Book!!

This is the first time l have ever read Ms. Walsh books. I remember her from the 700 club, but that's it. This book is a simple but smoothing book,the scriptures were spot on. I look forward to reading her again.

These short stories are packed with encouragement. Quick read followed by 4 or 5 Scriptures that support. Difficult to put down and to not keep on reading.

What a difference 5 minutes can make.

This book is a great read. Gives one much to think of. Lots of thought provoking stories from an everyday life. Stories which will bring the message of the Word to life.

Loved it.

I loved this book so much. Very thoughtful and spirit filled pages. I was sad when it was finished was very blessed.

5 Minutes with Jesus

I love Sheila's stories, which matches her subject for every chapter. Spending five minutes with Jesus bring peace to my soul. I have share this book with the people in my Bible Study.

Great

Great blessing

Inspiring

Each day there was a great bible lesson to learn from and it explained what the real life circumstances related to the lesson.

A well spent 5 minutes!

Ready for her next devotional. 5 minutes is easily done and so worthwhile. Love Sheila's writing because it so often speaks to me.

Best 5 minutes of my day!

Love how she starts almost all devotions with a relevant story then drives home the message! Lots of great thoughts to ponder

In love with Jesus

I recommend this book for everyone. It was very hard to put it down to do my chores. I believe our Lord has chosen this book to read for more wisdom in the word of God. Happy reading😘

EASY READING WITH SOME THOUGHT PROVOKING MESSAGES

i USUALLY READ THIS BOOK RIGHT BEFORE GOING TO BED. MOST CHAPTERS HAVE A GOOD MESSAGE AND THE BIBLE VERSES AT THE END I FIND COMFORTING BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP.

Short and sweet

I like it but am not wowed. I almost feel they are a bit too short to make meaningful. I find myself choosing other books over this one, but it still has good lessons.

Loved to spend time with Jesus

Beautifully written. Contains a lot of good ways to I slide a God on your daily life. I also enjoyed the scripture readings

Just the thing for busy people.

Just the thing to get a moment to touch the Lord in these crazy busy times. Love the honest sensitive devotionals by Sheila Walsh.

This was perfect. Each day the devotion would hit someone personally

I was looking for a daily devotional for my team of preschool teachers, who meet each morning before school starts to pray. This was perfect. Each day the devotion would hit someone personally. I came back when we finished this book to purchase more for gifts. Time well spent. I was sad when we finished it, I wish there was more!
