In this book, the author breaks down Psalm 23 and takes a closer look at the phrases we are so familiar with. While she brought some great things to light, I did feel that parts of the book were rather wordy and flowery. At times I felt that she was really trying to hard to draw out something that wasn't there. But overall, it was a good book!

MY REVIEW:
Quiet Confidence for a Woman's Heart is a great personal Bible study of Psalm 23 divided into 12 chapters. It also includes a study guide that is interactive - leading you to not just read about but internalize the lessons. I have always enjoyed Elizabeth's straight-forward and Biblically sound teaching found in her various books, however, this book I wasn't able to finish. While the content was great, it was quite broad, covering both Psalm 23 and names of God. It seemed a little disjointed at times as it tried to weave several elements together to make one lesson. Again, it was great stuff, but just too busy for my one focused mind. I have also found that some books just click with you and then some do not. Sometimes you can pick up a book a few months later and be totally enthralled with it. Apparently for me, this was the case in this book. I recommend it for it's content, but recognize it may be a slightly different in style.

Definitely going to the keeper shelf!!!!
I so needed this book at this current time in my life. God led me to read this. I didn't understand why at first, then yep, I totally needed this and understood then. There were days while reading this that I cried because I needed to hear and truly understand what was being said in Psalm 23.
I really liked how this book went over Psalm 23 verse by verse for a deeper study. I got so much out of this book. It really helped me see Psalm 23 so much clearer and deeper. Highly recommend!!

At 68% the book is done, the rest is a manual with questions for further study.
Besides that disappointment (as it's not my thing), I loved this book. It's my favorite that George has written so far and have already recommended it. It is heartfelt, easy to read and understand and I cried at some points.
Not only does the author go verse by verse in Psalm 23, but introduces a "new" name of God with each chapter.
