Overview
Quiet Rest for Your Soul
We all need a safe place, a gentle touch, a resting point to help us persevere when life deals out the unexpected. God has given us an invitation to find our sanctuary in him. He has promised to carry our heartaches and to walk with us through the storms of life.
This is a world of hope and courage and faith. Though emotional dangers are everywhere and guilt, loss, change, and regret all exist, there is quiet rest near the heart of God. In Sanctuary, Marsha Crockett, renowned author and frequent speaker at women's retreats, offers to take women on a tour of the peace, rest, and safety that God provides—His unshakable sanctuary.
Perfect for use in your bible study groups, women's Sunday school classes, or individual quiet time, each chapter highlights a specific emotional danger—illness, a prodigal child, the death of a loved one—through the real-life story of a woman who has experienced it. Then the invitation is given to you to explore the sanctuary God provides for each case, be it grace, comfort, peace—whatever is needed to soothe and protect a wounded heart.
Through scripture and biblical illustrations you will discover how to know God and to rest in the safety of who He is. Practical suggestions and insight are provided for experiencing God every day. Finally, you are encouraged to memorize or meditate over a particular scriptural blessing that reveals God's heart as your unfailing sanctuary.
