Sacred Refuge

Finding Unexpected Shelter in Your Crisis

Author: Lynne Rienstra

Break free from worry and find refuge under his wings

In Sacred Refuge, Lynne Rienstra taps into the growing angst-turned-chronic-fear among women. Though fear puts women into hiding, God invites women to come out of hiding and into the unassailable shelter he has built for them in the gospel. In the pages of Sacred Refuge, readers will be challenged to consider where they've been finding shelter: in flimsy structures of their own making, or in the sacred refuge only Christ provides.

Through the ten modern women and ten biblical women they'll meet in the pages of Sacred Refuge, readers will find sisters in the struggle. Whether their crises take the form of heartbreaking loss, debilitating debt, health problems, unresolved sin issues, loneliness, or fear for the future, they'll find peace in a chaotic world.

Throughout history, women who sought shelter in Jesus have found solace for their souls. Readers are invited to join this historical sisterhood and discover that their crises can become portals through which they discover God's deep love and compassion for them. There they will find a haven for their hearts and answers to the questions "Is God really good?" "Does he really see or care about me? "Can he protect me, heal me, provide for me?"

With biblical teaching, ten Transforming Truths, application questions, and a study guide, Sacred Refuge will encourage women not only to find refuge for themselves but also to invite others to spread light in a darkening world.
