God Is a Strong Shelter: Weathering Storms through Reading Psalms
Ebook
God Is a Strong Shelter: Weathering the Storms through Reading Psalms brings faith to the center stage for believers. It is a spiritual roadmap and guide that reflects the Bible for the ultimate answer and a practical, biblical, and theological resource for the church to take a deep dive into the Psalms. The primary focus is to carefully examine the psalms for hope and protection in a world of persuasive tactics of scheming. Believers are encouraged to trust God by reading what I call the Great Affirmation of faith in Ps 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." This book tells how the psalmists communicated to God amid personal encounters with enemies during turbulences of life.
“Johnny Turner has written an encouraging book based upon the Psalms of Israel. God is a Strong Shelter will become a go-to resource for everyone facing traumatic moments in life, providing a roadmap to finding peace and comfort in the midst of our everyday struggles. Turner reminds us that God is the ultimate source of hope on those days when we are challenged by the storms of life.”
—Geoffrey V. Guns, senior pastor, Second Calvary Baptist Church of Norfolk
“Johnny Turner’s insightful look into the Psalms is most helpful during this time of climate change, gun violence, and religious apathy.

“This is a spiritually uplifting book full of wisdom and experience. Johnny Turner provides clear indicators and insight about the message of the Psalms, its writers, and how the theme of God’s grace and mercy has meaning for our personal lives, especially when we’re faced with the storms of life. I believe that all who have ears to hear would benefit from reading this book.”
—Patricia Rickenbacker, pastor, Living Hope Fellowship Baptist Church
