With a heart’s desire to know Jesus more and the tiring existence of trying to get there through her best efforts, the Holy Spirit began to enlighten the eyes of Shellie Rushing Tomlinson’s heart to reveal how to “stop settling for the life” she was living “and live the one Jesus died to give” her, and to give you.
In her book, Finding Deep and Wide, Shellie takes the reader through the Father’s revelations given to her by the Holy Spirit, only by merit of the redemption she has received through Jesus Christ. Peppered with accounts of those who walked closely with God throughout Scripture and real-life examples of her own stories, Finding Deep and Wide will give the reader hope that they too can begin “to experience the deep and wide relationship with God that He intended all of us to have from the get-go.”
Her chapters are short and are broken up by different headings, bringing about an ease of reading that will keep the reader captivated and cause them to say far too often, “Just one more chapter.” Her revelations from God through her stories will leave the reader wanting to know what each new chapter holds of what living this life looks like and the peace that comes from abiding in Christ.
Please know that no book can, nor ever should, take precedence over or take the place of regularly reading and studying the Holy Scriptures, and that if you are a child of God, indwelt with Holy Spirit, you have within you everything you need to understand what God is saying through His Word.
With that said, if God is drawing you into a deeper relationship with Him and you are asking Him to help you know what that looks like, reading what He has revealed to Shellie will deepen your understanding and offer you “healthy heart habits” to “discover the joy of dying to all that trying.”
