He Restores My Soul

Suffering comes to everyone in this life yet many are surprised to find it in the green pastures of the Good Shepherd. Disease and death invade this peaceful landscape and hardship and heartache come even to the sheep of His hand. Why do pain and persecution flourish along the path of righteousness? How can sickness and sin reside beside the Lords still waters? Utilizing the timeless rich comfort permeating Psalm 23 author Katie Schuermann (He Remembers the Barren) and a host of literary friends ponder such questions and many more in this book of empathy and encouragement for the cross-bearing Christian woman.Addressing such topics as living the Christian faith in the public arena carrying a child in the womb who is not expected to live struggling against sexual temptation caring for aging parents regretting an abortion living with mental illness and chronic diseases longing for the gift of a spouse raising children apart from ones own upbringing mothering while working and children leaving the faith each chapter persistently points the reader to a firm trust in Gods promises found in His Word and a resounding joy in Gods mysterious work of conforming us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29).
