<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Glenna Marshall is wondering something. What if she told you that you don't have to go looking for God's presence? What if she told you that God's presence is something you can enjoy all the time? God's presence among his people set him apart from the pagan gods of ancient times. His presence on earth as God Incarnate split history in two. And today his presence is one of the most significant means of his goodness to us. Glenna's own awakening to God's presence began in the depths of winter. Rereading her journal, she realized that for six months she'd been cataloging all the ways God had abandoned her as she suffered from chronic pain. What if that . . . wasn't true? Something had to change. Interweaving her own story of faith and doubt amid suffering, Glenna traces the theme of God's presence from Genesis to Revelation and shows what it means for us in our own daily joys and struggles.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A truly refreshing read that has forever changed my perspective on suffering. Where is God when we suffer? Glenna Marshall's personal journey of suffering reminds us that the problem is not that God is not present, but that we look for evidence of his presence in the wrong places. Whether you are walking through the valley of broken dreams or stuck in a rut of spiritual dryness, Marshall shows us just how God's presence can answer every longing of our hearts.--Sara Wallace, Author, For the Love of Discipline: When the Gospel Meets Tantrums and Time-Outs and Created to Care: God's Truth for Anxious Moms<br><br>Achingly beautiful and brimming with gospel truth, Glenna Marshall pulls the thread of God's goodness and faithfulness throughout the entirety of scripture while also seamlessly weaving in her own path of pain and suffering. This book is a charge to God's people to remember that the point of our trials isn't how quickly we can barrel through them, but rather, who we can come to know and love more deeply along the way. I found a fellow sojourner and was reminded of a faithful shepherd in The Promise Is His Presence.--Gillian Marchenko, Author, Still Life: A Memoir of Living Fully with Depression<br><br>Glenna is an excellent writer who carefully traces the theme of God dwelling with His people from Genesis to Revelation. As she weaves in her personal stories of pain and loss, in memoir fashion, we journey with her in discovering in new and more meaningful ways that God is always near and good and faithful and kind and enough. Overall, I was convicted in the sweetest way to remember that abiding in the Lord's presence through His Word is enough for me in the midst of every fear, unmet desire, struggle, and joy.--Kristie Anyabwile, Editor, His Testimonies, My Heritage<br><br>Glenna Marshall has done it. In her book, The Promise Is His Presence, she has managed to pull off a rare balance among Christian authors. That is, a book that clearly and accurately portrays the story of redemption reflected throughout the Bible as she connects her very gripping, heartbreaking, and inspiring personal story of suffering. With her beautiful writing style, she reminds us the answer to joy in suffering is not the alleviation of suffering, but the reality of God's presence in it. I commend this book for all those seeking the secret to experience the nearness of God in the darkest of places.--Brian Croft, Senior Pastor, Auburndale Baptist Church, Louisville, Kentucky; Founder, Practical Shepherding<br><br>I resonate deeply with the title and message of this book. The promise of God's presence has sustained me through the darkest days of my life and has given me hope for the future. This is Glenna's story, too, and she writes of the pain we all face, not with pithy cliches, but rather with deep, experiential knowledge. She gives voice to our humanity but consistently points us to the goodness of God. I'm thankful.--Christine Hoover, Author, Searching for Spring: How God Makes All Things Beautiful in Time and Messy Beautiful Friendship: Finding and Nurturing Deep and Lasting Relationships<br><br>If you're weary, discouraged, or suffering, you'll find refreshment, encouragement, and comfort in these pages. Glenna Marshall masterfully combines biblical truth and relatable personal narrative to explore the doctrine of God's presence with His people. The result is a stunning display of the hope, joy, and peace we have because of God's presence with us.--Marissa Henley, Author, Loving Your Friend through Cancer: Moving beyond "I'm Sorry" to Meaningful Support<br><br>In, The Promise Is His Presence, Marshall repeatedly speaks this beautiful truth: in our painful struggle, though we may never find out the "why" behind our sorrows, or see "how" we will make it through, because of Immanuel, we know "who" dwells with us inside of our suffering. Marshall reminds us again and again that the most important thing for us to remember is "who"--In our wanderings, God has given us himself, and that is the greatest promise he could ever keep.--Abby Ross Hutto, Author, God for Us: Discovering the Heart of the Father through the Life of the Son<br>
