Mary Nelson has done it again! Jehovah-Jireh speaks both to the head and the heart and is a rich, biblical reminder of how much God loves and takes care of His children. Full of practical advice and spiritual insights, Mary passionately shares how our Father always provides for our needs. Sharing stories of familiar biblical characters and contemporary friends, Mary has written a book that is refreshing water for burdened and weary souls.

Marys insightful telling of the stories of Gods supernatural provision for Abraham, the prophet Elisha, for Jesus, and others from the Bible, as well as those amazing stories from believers in our time, comes alive and stirs the heart of the reader to see God as our Creator, sustainer, and provider of not just all of our needs, but of even of the deepest desires of our hearts. Mary weaves into each page an invitation to know God more intimately, to spend time with cultivating our relationship with Jesus, and to expect to hear from and receive direction from the Holy Spirit. When He directs our path in a certain way, and we dont understand, we can put our trust in Him, knowing that Gods ways, are higher than our ways. One of my favorite and most impacting thoughts Mary shares is, God will give you everything that you need to succeed: His wisdom, His resources, His protection from your enemies, and His strength to carry out His plan! We commend Jehovah-Jireh as one of those books that will help you in all areas of your lifes journey.

The God of time and eternity will draw ever closer and provide you with peace, joy, wisdom, strength, and grace. Thank you, Mary, for this gift.

The majority of you who read this book will come to know Mary Nelson as a Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, poignant, dynamic writer and storyteller. And she is. I have been privileged to also know her as a person and pastor. I can assure you she embodies and models the words on the pages of this stirring book. She knows firsthand and trusts the God who providesand she is passionate about helping others do the same. If you read Jehovah-Jireh with an open mind and heart, you will also become one who trusts God more as a result of her anointed ministry.

Renowned Christian Theologian J.I. Packer once said that, the most important thing about God is what you think of Him. In essence, he was saying our perception of God is critical to a healthy relationship with Him. In this new book, Mary is dismantling a somewhat popular opinion in our culture that God is austere, ambivalent, and distant from the needs of humanity. Nothing could be further from the truth, and Mary convincingly demonstrates through scripture and stories that God is good and can be trusted with all of lifes challenges!

Tim Hatt, Kingdom Expansion Pastor, Hosanna! Church, Lakeville, MN

While reading Jehovah-Jireh: The God Who Provides, I soon discovered how Mary J. Nelson has a marvelous way of making the Bible stories come alive, causing them to become relevant to our lives today. The more I read her devotions and prayers, the more I appreciate the way God speaks to my heart and meets the needs in my daily life. Mary has a way of gently reminding us that Only You can fill the God-hole in my heart. Only You can satisfy. You are enough. I highly recommend this inspiring and informative book to men and women of all ages.
