Paul Luckraft reviews ‘I Walk With You’ by Kathy Stewart (2026) 

This is Kathy’s second book and, like the first, is based upon the work that she and her husband, Tony, have undertaken as founders of the Mount Moriah Trust, a charity that delivers financial and prayer support to Messianic Jews and Christian Arab believers. In this book she shares insights and personal reflections about what it means to walk with the Lord as she and her husband serve him in this way.

The book contains an anthology of messages from the Lord to Kathy personally, as well as messages she gave to the congregations and prayer groups to whom they have ministered. These latter form the bulk of the second part of the volume.

Personal reflections

‘I Walk With You’ comes in seven sections, the first consisting of personal reflections, including a chapter of thoughts and impressions while Kathy was in hospital for a perforated bowel. It was during her recovery that she had a strong sense of the Lord being with her and of them walking together through a difficult and sorrowful time.

Section 2 consists of just two brief chapters on God working in us, but the next section is more detailed - on the topic of worshipping God by journeying into the Holy of Holies. There are some powerful pages in this section, which is full of examining who God really is and what sets Him apart.

Encouragement

The fourth section is all about Jesus, his humanity and emotions, as well as the fact that he is the great I AM. Section 5 focuses on Israel, in particular how that chosen nation is the apple of God’s eye. Kathy covers many topics in this section including God’s calling and destiny for Israel and His promises for them, as well as the sharing of insights into the spiritual battle that rages over Israel, and the evil of antisemitism. However, she makes it very clear that the covenants that God made with His people guarantees their survival and spiritual restoration.

Section six has several chapters of messages given to encourage and strengthen both Messianic Jewish and Christian Arab congregations in Israel. These messages were given over a period of twenty years, and the author hopes that these will also edify those reading her book. The final section consists of a similar collection of such messages, this time on the theme of women of the Bible, which were given to various congregations and ladies’ groups in Israel.

Building esteem

Kathy’s aim was to build up the self-esteem and confidence of the members of these groups so that they might become stronger women of faith. These talks draw on certain biblical characters such as Mary and Martha, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Ruth and the Samaritan woman at the well.

This is a book to be dipped into from time to time and would serve as a daily devotional; it would be equally valuable reading a portion of it per week.

‘I Walk With You’ has been well thought through and presented, with plenty of scripture to emphasise the main points being made. There is a short glossary at the back, but no index.
