Sheltered Under God's Promises {Giveaway}

As I have recently shared snippets of the personal difficulties of my own days, many of you have contacted me sharing your own stories.  The fact that many of us have been experiencing hard things has been confirmed.

Reading the following book came at what seemed to be the "perfect time".  In fact, here is what the back cover says about this book:

"You know God's promises, but are they for you, are they for now, are they for this? If you look to your circumstances alone, it may seem that God has forgotten you. But He hasn't. He can't. And He wouldn't even if He could. God is the only promise maker who is always a promise keeper. And God's promises will never fail you!"

I appreciated how Sheila used the stories of Bible characters to demonstrate the truth she was addressing.  I also enjoyed the Bible study included in the book.  Although I did not go through this in a group setting, I still referred to and used those questions to deepen the questioning and pondering of my own heart.

The chapters focus on ten foundational promises of God that secure our lives during even the most difficult times.  Things such as God's peace (ch. 3), grace (ch. 6), hope (ch.7), and much more.  And the way Sheila ended it... oh my.

I did not find it to finish with a sense of "happily ever after" sentiment leaving me wondering how I can apply that to the true "nitty gritty" of the mess I sometimes seem to find myself in. 

Instead, she ended it with examining a question that has left my own heart challenged and encouraged even since the covers of this book have been closed.

She takes us to John the Baptist and explores this soul searching question with him... "Will you love and serve a God you do not always understand?" 

As you pick up this book, I would encourage you to grab a highlighter and pen or pencil.  I needed mine all through it!
