What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Whenever Russ speaks or writes, I listen or read. He has the heart of a pastor and the skill of a poet. So grateful for him and this book."
—Max Lucado, author


"Russ Levenson's Finding Shelter is a continuous gentle invitation to come to the table and to taste and see that God is good. Written with warmth and wisdom, these pages are good company on the journey of faith." —Amy Grant, Grammy Award–winning recording artist and songwriter


“Russ Levenson has a real gift for taking scripture from the Old and New Testaments and making it personal and relevant to our life today. The relaxed tone of Finding Shelter will inspire and comfort readers even as it challenges them to grow in their spiritual journey.
—Susan G. Baker, founding member of the National Alliance to End Homelessness


“Russ brings together biography and story with deep theological truths and insights to create a powerful, uplifting set of meditations that can transform the day and the week.
