Because You Are with Me

“Psalm 23 opens up to greater depths with the careful guidance of one whose life as a scholar of the Hebrew language has been shaped by the care of the Good Shepherd. Building on a solid foundation of textual analysis, this beautifully written reflection invites the reader into the heart of the psalm and to a journey with the Shepherd-Host who is always present, always protecting, always guiding, always nurturing.”


—W. H. Dogterom, Professor of Pastoral Ministries and Spiritual Formation, Vanguard University





“How do the idyllic promises of Psalm 23 apply to life in all of its brokenness? April Westbrook’s masterful reflection on Psalm 23 answers this question in a way that challenges our illusions of self-sufficiency at their core. ‘God is with us’ is alone our constant source. This is a book that you will read and read again, and then tell others about. It’s that good!”
