Take comfort in knowing that God hears you. The story of Hannah in 1 Samuel tells of one woman’s personal heartache and trust in the One who could fulfill her desires. She poured her heart out to God, and He heard her. The Our Daily Bread devotions selected for this collection reassure you that God is with you, God is for you, and God hears you. The personal stories and Scripture passages lift you up and remind you that God is bigger than the trials you face.

We're facing an information overload. With the quick tap of a finger we can access an endless stream of addictive information—sports scores, breaking news, political opinions, streaming TV, the latest Instagram posts, and much more. Accessing information has never been easier—but acquiring wisdom is increasingly difficult. In an effort to help us consume a more balanced, healthy diet of information, Brett McCracken has created the "Wisdom Pyramid." Inspired by the food pyramid model, the Wisdom Pyramid challenges us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources (like the Bible) while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources (like the Internet and social media). At a time when so much of our daily media diet is toxic and making us spiritually sick, The Wisdom Pyramid suggests that we become healthy and wise when we reorient our lives around God—the foundation of truth and the eternal source of wisdom.

100 GOD-BLOGS The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalm 19:1) If we look carefully, we can see illustrations of Biblical truth in the world around us. That is the idea behind these GOD-BLOGS. They are a collection of devotional thoughts originally written in weekly installments to a list of subscribers. Some are humorous; some are sad; some are challenging; and some are comforting. All of them are taken from some part of the author's life. He hopes they will help the readers spot glimpses of God's truth in their daily lives, too. A lengthy topic (keyword) index is in the back of the book to help readers find specific topics of interest, which is especially helpful for preachers and Bible teachers. Phil Walter wants to be an agent of God's peace, a messenger of God's truth, and a servant of God's love. During his 43 years of service to Christ and the church, he has strived to fulfill that calling by serving as an ordained minister/pastor, an ordained missionary, an ordained church elder, a field chaplain for the local sheriff's office, a church administrator, the producer of a city-wide Christian theatrical outreach event, an administrative director for a national ministry, and a youth minister. In all his work, he has a heart for people. This was one of the reasons he wrote this book. He wants to help people walk with God each day. By God's grace, Phil is the proud father of five wonderful children and the grandfather of nine amazing grandchildren. He has been married to his lovely wife, Susan, for 42 years and they live in Winter Garden, Florida.

We live in a polarized time. Christians are quick to conceive of themselves either as theologically-minded or worship-minded; either thinking Christians or feeling Christians. The results are damaging: theology without worship is muted, stifled, and cold, and worship without theology is ungrounded, unrooted, and uninformed. This is not the way it was meant to be. Theology (our study and knowledge of God) should always lead to doxology (our worship of Him). Worship should always be rooted in theology. When we study the nature and character of God as revealed in his Word, we are invited to respond in the affectionate, obedient discipleship of worship. How can we keep our theology from being mere head knowledge? How do we give our worship roots that will last? By fixing our eyes on God Himself—the object of our study and the object of our worship. Fix Your Eyes is an invitation to understand core doctrines of the Christian faith and apply them in our daily worship of God. It walks believers through key theological concepts and shows how each can be lived out in daily life.
