When I was a little girl, my daddy would let me pick out a new Little Golden Book from the grocery store each week. He’d read it to me every night until I memorized it. The Little Engine that Could, The Pokey Little Puppy, and Doctor Dan the Bandage Man were a few of my favorites.
I loved the cadence of his voice, the music of the words, and the colorful pictures. What I loved most, though, was the warmth of his arm around me as we snuggled.
My love for books was born in his warm embrace.
When I was 16, a friend gave me a red leather Bible with my name engraved in gold on the cover. I wish I could say I loved God’s Word from that moment on, but it took a while. Okay, a long while. But now, if my house was burning down, I’d save my MacArthur Daily Bible with the cracked faux leather cover and two decades of notes in the margins.
Books change lives. Books that point people to God change eternities.
It’s almost Christmas. If you’d like to give a gift that could change someone’s eternity, consider giving them a Bible. If they’re not ready for that, or if they already have one, I’d be honored if you’d share a copy of one of my books from Our Daily Bread Publishing.
Refresh Your Faith, Uncommon Devotions from Every Book of the Bible is the perfect gift for an unbeliever, a new believer, or someone who wants to know more about the Bible. It contains a story-driven devotion from each book of the Bible to make the Bible (even the most obscure parts) come alive.
Refresh Your Prayers, Uncommon Devotions to Restore Power and Praise is the perfect gift for those who are struggling in their prayer life or eager to learn more. Each story-driven devotion tackles tough questions like, “Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayer?” and “If God is Sovereign, Why Bother Praying?”
Refresh Your Hope, 60 Devotions for Trusting God with All Your Heart (releasing January 3) is just right for those who need a fresh infusion of biblical hope. The weary, the grieving, the struggling, the doubting will all benefit from a deep dive into the unshakeable hope we have as Christians.
1 Peter 3:15 tells us, “Always be ready to share the reason for the hope that is within you, with gentleness and respect.” I’m praying God will give you many opportunities to share your hope this Christmas season.
Blessings to you, my friends!
