Sharon Longworth

Sharon Longworth has had a PhD attached to her name for over forty-five years. Her field of expertise is… Professional hair-Dressing…! That’s right! Sharon has no claim whatsoever to academic accolades and is content to admit to such. Nonetheless, God assigned Sharon the task of writing her story. His persuasive means allowing her little resistance to refuse the challenge. Sharon first published Menopause and the Latter-Day Bride in August 2015, republishing in December 2022 as Spiritual Menopause and the Latter-Day Bride. With further revision and republication, edition three is titled The Beauty of Holiness.

A BlueInk Review of Sharon’s original writing stated,

“Longworth is an astute thinker”

“…who draws from her personal experiences to make theological concepts accessible. Overall, she has an easy, conversational style, and her chapters on spiritual growth and discernment make for compelling reading. Readers will find her understanding of supernatural experience thought-provoking… Menopause and the Latter Day Bride demonstrates great insight and a desire to help readers.”

FROM INFANCY TO INTIMACY

Spiritual Stagnation

With time running out, God makes an eleventh-hour plea via an over-the-hill country hairdresser to His Bride, the Church. As the world gets darker, turning its back on Christianity and the Church, God implores His Bride to come closer, inviting her into a deeper relationship with Him. ‘The Beauty of Holiness’ challenges the universal Church, asking the question. “Are we lukewarm Christians, asleep and oblivious to the End Times we currently live in? Or are we on fire for the Lord, knowing Him intimately and ready to meet Jesus as His imminent return draws closer?”

Hearing God's voice

Mental and spiritual growth

Sharon highlights her mental and spiritual growth as she searched for a deeper understanding of her relationship with God. Her story begins with snippets of her younger years through marriage and the adoption of two children from overseas. She invites readers into her private life as she battles with bouts of depression and financial strain. Over time she begins to recognise God’s voice, introducing her to spiritual gifts such as prophecy, tongues and healing.

Through various dreams, visions and impressions, God revealed to Sharon His menu of metaphorical food to help combat her symptoms of spiritual stagnation. In sharing her story, Sharon helps readers understand some of the obstacles that occur as a Christian and how to overcome them.
