I chose this book because of the subtitle Steadfast Faith in the Midst of Adversity. With everything that I have gone through in my lifetime so far, I like to read anything that can help me and to also help me help other in the storms of their lives.

A Deeper Kind of Calm: Steadfast Faith in the Midst of Adversity  is a wonderful book. I learned so much in the short time it took to read it, but will be going back to it time and time again.

Linda dives into 4 Psalms: 77: remember what God has done, 46: hide in His presence, 63: cling to him and 84: praise him for all we cannot see, to help us find comfort in our suffering. She calls are times of trials as “valleys of weeping”.  We have all gone through some type of trial, some big and some tiny ones, but we still suffer pain when we go through them. Sometimes that pain seems unbearable.  Linda shows us that instead of turning to worldly tings to try to ease our pain, we should turn to Scripture.  Using these 4 Psalms, Linda walks us through truths that are part of us drawing into God’s presence.

I enjoy all 4, but the one on Clinging to Him as my one and only lifeline really spoke to me.

A 4-week Bible study is included at the end of the book, which I read the questions but am now working on doing those weeks study separately.

I gave this book 5-stars. I will be recommending this book to my friends and wouldn’t mind leading a small study using it with some of my friends.
