The Promise is His Presence: Why God is Always Enough by Glenna Marshall
5.0
"God's presence is not contingent on our invocation of it."- Chapter 11
Glenna Marshall serves as a sort of storyteller guide on the biblical narrative of God's presence. She uses her own story that I highly resonated with- her infertility, her inflammatory arthritis diagnosis, and her deep church hurts while being a church revitalizer's wife. However, this isn't a story of a her overcoming obstacles to get what she desires; instead, it's a story of how God's presence was always enough for her, even when she couldn't see it. And she takes us on the same journey, this time with Biblical narrative to back it up. From the Garden of Eden, to the Israelites, to the incarnation of Christ, to the promise of heaven- Marshall traces God's presence throughout all of history.
This book is edifying and encouraging. There was so much personal transparency that I knew this was real- gems of truth that were hard-won in her life. Deeply-rooted but uncomplicated to read, I highly recommend this book to anyone. Seriously, there is not a phase of life where I think these words will go amiss.
