Psalm 91: The Dweller
Although the promises given in Psalm 91 are available to all believers, they are not automatically true of all believers. In Psalm 91 The Dweller, author Areon Potter states that if one desires to abide in the shadow of the Almighty, he must first learn to dwell in the shelter of the Most High. Psalm 91. The Dweller... highlights important truths hidden beneath the surface of the Psalm; documents the progression of the Christian who anticipates dwelling in the shelter of the Most High and abiding in the shadow of the Almighty; gives a clear picture of the life of a New Testament Christian who intends to follow God to the fullest extent possible; facilitates the dweller's encounter and assures victory over spiritual enemies which employ both the world and the flesh in their diverse attacks upon the believer; investigates the ramifications of the life-impacting promises spoken by the Creator to those who dwell in the shelter of the Most High; provides a fresh gaze into the ninety-first Psalm and reveals both the responsibilities and benefits of dwelling in the shelter of the Most High.

Focusing not on the objective of the Almighty and, but on the `dweller' Areon Potter, author of `From Darkness to Light` has produced a work that is an inspiration to all those who have clung to Psalm 91 in times of trouble and strife, myself included.
From the acknowledgment section the reader is advised that this is a work of inspiration. The best books come from those that are changed first themselves and then relate this `changing' to the readers.
This is as it should be and is a benchmark for me that what I would read would be a testimony of sorts.
Many books focus on the precious promises found in Psalm 91, but the focus of this book is on the believer. What good is the promise if the Christian does not first read it, receive it, and then make it their own?
Psalm 91 has only 16 verses, thus the book has 16 separate different dimensions each addressing the reader of the Psalm and their responsibility in the conditional promises found in the Psalm 91.
As in the Scripture, the `dweller' focus is a progressive cycle from the foundational truths that prompt the reader to be aware of their condition (the triune self - spirit, soul, and body), see what is unseen (spiritual warfare), to become aware of the protection accessible (the shelter) - in essence an all encompassing view of the Christian true self.
Quite an enjoyable read. I found fresh insights on this passage that caused me to read Psalm 91 with a new perspective. I recommend it highly as a solid review of Psalm 91.
