My Review of "Steadfast Love"

Lauren Chandler's Steadfast Love is partly an extended sermon on Psalm 107 and partly a spiritual memoir.  This is a beautiful little book, mostly because Chandler helps us to understand that "no matter the season, no matter if we're hungry and thirsty, heavy-hearted, entangled in sin, or weathering a storm, God is the Lord of steadfast love, the anchor of our souls".
