What do you see when you stand in front of the mirror? Most likely, you’ll see some aspect of yourself that doesn’t quite meet with your approval. You may think you need a haircut, or you need to lose a few pounds. Or, maybe, you’ll see the reflection of someone who has lived an amazing […]
As the author of a number of devotional and prayer books, I thought it might be helpful to share my perspective on what a devotional book is, or at least what it is intended to be.

Jesus made a conscious choice. He agreed with His Father that something had to be done. Someone had to rescue the people who were consistently and constantly getting themselves into trouble.
