“This beautiful collection of psalms expressed as poetic prayer reminds us of the relevance of reverence in our daily lives and the hope breathed through even the darkest of sufferings. Alight on a different poem each day, and find rest in its cadence, restoration in its celebration, and guidance from new songs grown from deep-rooted wisdom.”

Carolyn Weber

“Psalm-praying is one of the oldest and most powerful ways of learning to talk to God. Yet the words of the Psalms are distant from us, and Christians are not always sure how to make those ancient words our words. Smith and Wilt provide in this book the kindling for our own Psalm-praying, provoking our response and forming the word of God in our mouths. Pray the words of Scripture and then let their words spark your imagination and slow you down enough to learn the grammar of intimacy with God.”

Glenn Packiam

“Over the course of my career, I’ve spent countless hours laboring over vocal harmonies. There’s something beautiful about hearing different, complementary (or consonant) notes at the same time. The prayers in Sheltering Mercy produce a similar result. They harmonize with the text of Scripture and make it come alive in a whole new way.”

Michael W. Smith

“Like a modern-day version of the beloved Valley of Vision, Sheltering Mercy is a collection of poems inspired by the Psalms. This small, beautiful book holds timeless reminders of God’s enduring promises.”
