Appalachian Trail in SW Virginia, enjoying the scenery as she writes. Joanie Scott-Smelser and her husband have two adult daughters. As a Virginia native, she draws on her personal history for inspiration. A Sheltering Place is the second book co-authored with Ruth Herron, and published by Five Smooth Stones. Product Description A Sheltering Place offers a hope so strong that it sustains you in a crisis and carries you from the bad times into the good. Unrest comes to everyone sooner or later. That is life. Caring for an ailing parent demands more resources than you can imagine as you reverse roles with the person who first nurtured you. Or a divorce tears apart the relationship you took years to build, leaving you empty and stunned. An illness upsets and frightens you, stealing your peace of mind. But, you are not alone in your difficulty- whatever it is. To weather these life storms you must prepare yourself. Collecting spiritual survival tools protects your spirit during the emotional deluge. They create shelter in the midst of the squall, keeping you safe, teaching you to endure, and showing you that you are strong. A Sheltering Place grants your body time to heal. It encourages renewal for your spirit. It calls for the creation of a sanctuary for healing. A Sheltering Place offers hope that you will survive; your strength will be restored. You will be blessed. The writer of Proverbs speaks of you when he says, "
for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, those who lay hold of her will be blessed." (Proverbs 3: 13-18 NIV)
