Sacred Refuge: Finding Unexpected Shelter in Your Crisis

＂Lynne Rienstra opens up the Scriptures and her life to offer comfort, strength, and hope to women facing life’s challenges. If you long to find safety in the storm, this book is for you.＂ --Gwenfair Walters Adams, professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
The world is broken. Wars and natural disasters upend communities, tragedies strike our marriages and families, and sickness wracks our bodies. More than ever, we feel the effects of living in a fallen world.
When crisis hits, we can feel overwhelmed, scared, and alone. Our instinct is to retreat and take cover. But where are we hiding? Often in flimsy shelters of our own making. What if you could find a place where you feel safe in your soul, where even the worst that life dishes out cannot shake your faith or steal your peace? It’s a place so deeply rooted in the presence and love of God that nothing can move you.
In the pages of Sacred Refuge, you’ll meet women--both biblical and present-day--who have stared in the face of challenges like homelessness, hunger, life-threatening illness, the loss of a child, debilitating sin, life-altering rejection, and untimely death, yet find Christ to be their enduring refuge. Author Lynne Rienstra invites you to join this sisterhood and learn from these women’s fears, mistakes, and triumphs. To enhance your journey, she offers Transforming Truths, application questions, and a study guide.
Step our of your isolation--as these women did--and into Christ’s sheltering embrace. Learn how to make it your permanent dwelling place, invite others to share this sacred refuge, and begin to change the world.
