Psalm 91Real-Life Stories of God's Shield of Protection
Authors: Peggy Joyce Ruth and Angelia Ruth Schum

This book was chosen by my Tuesday noon prayer ladies from Houston's First. The book has two parts: 1. Chapter by chapter where the author expands on the verse by verse of Psalm 91 and part 2. Brief stories of people who have experienced God's protection by praying Psalms 91.
The beginning shares a lot of examples of the military so as I read it and highlighted here and there, I began to pray for Justin H. as he is at this time going through extensive military training. At times the author seems to advocate the power of the words of the ninety-first psalm rather than to focus on the power and relationship that comes from being connected to the Almighty. All in all, the book is insightful and helpful to better understanding that personal protection is available for those that trust in The Lord. What is important is to trust in God fully no matter your circumstances and to call out to Him when in need. The original human author of psalm 91 is anonymous but there is strong evidence that Moses could have written this powerful song of protection and love of God. I enjoyed the interaction of the ladies group as we studied this book and it has helped to shape my prayer life as I lift various people, as well as myself, before the Lord for protection.
