All of life is not lived on mountaintops. We will experience some deep valleys of pain, disappointment, uncertainty, sickness, grief, and even the valley of the shadow of death. Sometimes multitudes enter long and deep valleys together, as in prolonged seasons of war, or the COVID-19 pandemic that brought many to hardship, uncertainty, and fear. Yet, it often feels like we are walking through a deep valley alone. It doesn't have to be that way - Scripture makes it clear that if we have even a little faith, the Lord walks with us and guides us. If we keep our eyes on Him, our deepest valleys will strengthen and enrich our walk with God.Stephen Gammon faithfully served God for 40 years as a pastor and military chaplain. Then, in October 2018, he was diagnosed with cancer (Multiple Myeloma); he and his wife Helen entered this deep valley, walking with God by faith. With personal vulnerability and spiritual insight, he posted regular medical updates on the CaringBridge website, sharing many priceless lessons learned while walking with God through their valley. Tens of thousands of online visits and innumerable personal responses and reflections from readers attest to the power of these truths. Now edited and published in this book, these lessons will point you towards genuine contentment and peace as you walk through your own deep valleys.

[1] The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
[2] He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
[3] He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
[4] Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
[5] You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.
[6] Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.
As we walk with the Lord alongside us and we talk to Him we get filled with joy with what He chooses to divulge to us. We need to look at all of the items mentioned by the author in his description for the as being the trials and tribulations we’re being asked by the Lord to endure as He is simply testing us.
According to ROMANS 5:3-5 [NLT] regarding we are told:
"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."
At the same time, we need to keep the following in our minds:
"Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world."
1 PETER 4:12-13 [NLT]
As I read “Walking With the Lord Through Deep Valleys,” I believe Dr. Stephen Gammon desires for his readers to obtain a sense of honest gratification and serenity in their lives as the encounter the trials and tribulations that have been place in front of them by the Lord, through the lessons he gives them in the pages of his book.
For wanting to transform the lives of his readers and guide them to in confronting the challenges that have been placed in front of them, I’ve given Dr. Gammon the 5 STARS he has garnered from this reviewer of Christian books. (
