The Shelter of God's Promises is a fresh treatise on the promises of God and how He shelters you through them. It was a pleasure to be introduced to Sheila Walsh, as she is an invigorating, gifted writer. She covers topics such as provision, peace, confidence, love, and grace by utilizing stories from the Bible and relates them to you and your life today. She has a unique gift for seeing the reasons that the stories like the woman at the well and the unnamed, unclean woman at Capernaum are so relevant, and why they mattered at the time they happened. This book is full of substance.
Perhaps my favorite passage is this: "God keeps us not only to give us a future, but also to reflect his glory. He keeps His promises to us because He cannot help Himself." This is something so simple, yet profound - God keeps his promises to us because that is the NATURE of God. He can't break a promise. It isn't possible. Her knowledge of Greek and Hebrew make her interpretation of the Word clear. If you are struggling in your daily life with issues of faith, you should pick up this book. It will give you hope again in the sustaining promises of God.
