My Review
I was looking forward to this book with great anticipation. My ladies bible study, previous to my joining, had studied Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow and could not stop raving about it! A Deeper Kind of Calm is a book about maintaining steadfast faith in the midst of adversity. I very much enjoyed reading the book as well as working through the study questions. It is a wonderful volume for dealing with the hard times in our lives.
The book is divided into a four week bible study that can be done on your own or with your bible study group. It breaks down into four different chapters from Psalms: remember what God has done (Psalm 77), hide in His presence (Psalm 49), cling to him (Psalm 63) and praise him for all we cannot see (Psalm 84). The concluding chapter wraps up the journey we are on to face the adversities in our lives and move forward. This book helps to learn how to positively handle the disappointments of life and discern the comforting truth found in God's Word.
Ms. Dillow begins by pointing out that although Psalms is generally thought of as God's hymnal of praise, we also need to remember that it is also a book about pain. She asks three questions:
- Is it possible to go through the Valley of Weeping without falling apart?
- Is it possible to have joy in the midst of suffering?
- Is it possible to grow in intimacy with the Lord as we travel through the valley?
Ms. Dillow helps us find the answers to these questions in this enlightening bible study.
