The Shelter of God's Promises

I have always wanted to read a book by Sheila Walsh, as I have heard rave reviews of both her speaking and her books, and I was excited to read The Shelter of God’s Promises by Sheila Walsh. The book details God’s promises, and each promise is a chapter within the book. In addition to explaining God’s promise, there is a Bible Verse which relates to the promise God has for people. Some of my favorite promises in the book include Confidence: When we can’t see God’s Plan in this pain, God Promises that in All things God works for the good of those who love him, as in Romans 8:28, Hope: When we’re broken God promises to love us and never leave us as in Hebrews 13:5-6, and Home: We have a future and the Bible says There are many rooms in God’s house for us, as in John 14:2.

I also liked the personal aspect as Shelia Walsh intertwined personal stories that made the promises detailed in each chapter more personal. I think this book would be a great Bible study or devotional, as it’s format is conducive for discussion. There is also a Bible Study at the end of the book that contains important verses to read and questions to ask oneself.
