The Shelter of God's Promises

“In these uncertain times, I know 100 percent that I can stake my life on the unshakeable, unchanging promises of God!” —SHEILA WALSH

Where do you turn for shelter in the worst storms of life?

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!

In The Shelter of God’s Promises, gifted Bible teacher and inspiring Women of Faith speaker Sheila Walsh searches Scripture for what God has promised us, what God’s promises mean, and how encounters with Christ are the eternal fulfillment of His unrelenting commitment to us. Through vulnerable storytelling, new insights, and an in-depth Bible study, Sheila offers powerful, heart-filled teaching on ten bedrock promises of God, providing the foundation for daily confidence, joy, hope—and shelter.

You'll Find Shelter!

By Cherie Hill - January 12, 2011

Sheila Walsh manages to brilliantly present the power in the Promises of God in her PAGE TURNER, "The Shelter of God's Promises." The book is broken down into categories of God's Promises:

Provision- I Don't Have Enough
Peace- I'm Afraid and Feel Alone
Confidence-I Can't See God's Plan in this Pain
Love- I Don't Believe that Anyone Could Really Love Me
Grace- I Have Failed
Hope- I'm Broken
Strength- I Feel Things Are Crashing Around Me
More- I Know There's Something Better
Home- I have a Future

Each Promise of God that is covered is one you are in desperate need of. Whatever you're facing, Sheila Walsh presents God's Promises to you with power that leaves you experiencing nothing but peace. I'll admit, I have not previously found Sheila Walsh's books to be powerful or pertinent in my life . . . mainly because I felt she shared too many personal stories that did not help her connect with her readers. At times, in the past,... read more

A calming reminder in the midst of chaos

By M. Fry "Birdie" - March 22, 2011

I confess, I was hesitant when I received this book in the mail and I decided to neatly tuck the book away in a nearby drawer at work. Weeks dragged on and I walked in the familiar sense of shame. My recent divorce clouded my mind and I found comfort in isolation. I pushed away my "goody two shoes" friends and I felt too tainted to rejoice in God's presence.

The tragedy in Japan shook me down to the core, I was paralyzed with fear as a single deaf mother living in California. The rain fell on me and I wondered if I was slowly being poisoned with radiation. I did not trust the government and the news, I simply did not trust anyone and I trembled in fear as I held on to my five year old son. Did God forget me? Did my divorce from an unfaithful husband erase my name from the Book of Life?

The news served as fuel to my paranoia that was raging like an out-of-control forest fire so I decided to turn off the television and pick up The Shelter of God's Promises while... read more

Uplifting, but could be more impactful by incorporating some key truths

By E. M. Miller - August 25, 2011

Laying out various scriptures and elaborating on them, Sheila Walsh testifies of her own experience of standing on the promises of God and seeing His faithfulness over the decades of her life. She encourages other believers to cling to His Word for hope, peace, provision, and more. Since Walsh herself has not had an easy life, her own suffering with depression, loss of a parent through dimentia and death, and financial woes gives her a platform of personal experience and authority from which to speak. Furthermore, Walsh does her homework with research into cultural background and study of the original Greek words which give the scripture and promises significantly more meaning.

Particularly poignant were her insights into the story of the woman with the blood issue in Mark 5, a story I've heard touched on countless times from countless perspectives, but which had fresh meaning through Walsh's analysis. Likewise, her assessment that the saints are living far below the... read more
