Based on the book of Psalms, Deliver Us addresses difficult and life-harrowing situations, and offers encouragement on how to get through them.

In true Michele Howe style, this book includes thirty chapters composed of real-life accounts, Take-Away Action Thoughts, prayers, and insights for when times are dark.

How does one survive a financial crisis?

What hope is there for people living with chronic pain?

How can couples cope with marital impasses?

Each of these true stories is then paired with a specific psalm that communicates the resolve to trust in God's faithfulness and rescue.

The pairing of these dire-straits situations with a powerfully redemptive psalm offers substantive hope and encouragement in spite of these heartrending experiences.
