Book Review - The Shelter of God's Promises


"Even in the eye of the storm, we our hearts to remember that no matter how hard life gets, we win!" (p. 147).

I requested this book for my wife. She has been immensely blessed by Sheila Walsh, and I thought she'd enjoy this book.

I choose to read it first, mainly so I could complete my review of the book. I was very impressed and very blessed by it. It wasn't what I expected; I'm not sure what I did expect, but this wasn't it.

Walsh takes broad promises and applies them to our lives as believers. Many of the promises are eternal with temporal implications, but the promises are laid out such that they remind of a greater hope than the temporal of this world.

The book seems to be written to women, which would make sense, given Walsh's ministry is aimed at women. That said, I was very blessed and encouraged by this book.

I strongly recommend The Shelter of God's Promises.

"Christ's promise to us is not that He will give us shelter, but that He will be our Shelter" (p.183).
