More Than Devotion - Judy Salisbury - Bog

Whether you are a new believer or have walked with the Lord for many years, "More Than Devotion" provides you with fifty opportunities to learn through an array of biblical personalities and their circumstances. As you read each day's related account from both Old and New Testaments, you will realize that God truly is the same yesterday, today, and forever. You will also see that human nature appears unchanging without God's intervention as well, making this work relatable and relevant. With the backdrop of remembrance, each day provides a practical application and an achievable call to action, allowing fifty opportunities to move forward with significant personal and spiritual growth. "As a busy clergyman in the Lord's Service, I can connect with these devotions. It is so easy to suffer burnout from ministry. The constant need to give out from being needed to feed and nurture others around me can be draining at times. The time of quiet rest with the Father and His Word is food and drink for my soul. Judy Salisbury, in this book, provides an oasis for ministry leaders or lay Christian alike. She interweaves stories, Scripture, theology, and applicable lessons that we can use in our lives. I encourage the reader to take time as they read and drink from the fountain of God's Word here in her 50-days of refreshing. Take time to meditate upon what she is saying and write out the 'My Task/Challenge' and 'My Outcome/Results' at the end of each day's connection with God. I believe that you will grow in a closer relationship and understanding of God and His Word." THOMAS F. MARSHALL, D.MIN, THD, DBC, BCPC, Minister, Author, Christian Educator, Chaplain, Board Certified Pastoral Counselor "'More than Devotion' is full of awesome encouragement from God's Word coupled with practical experiences and applications from years of walking in the "cool of the day" with God. It is not just another devotional; Judy captures the very essence of how Scripture applies to our everyday life-past, present, and future. I loved it!" PASTOR DENNY MARTINEZ Former Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Woodland, Woodland, WA" Judy Salisbury's book is fittingly entitled 'More than Devotion'. This unique work prompts the reader to take practical actions that can grow us up into better followers of Christ and people in general. Her daily use of similar accounts from the Old and New Testaments not only helps us to become more familiar with biblical personalities, their struggles, and their successes with remarkable relevance for us all, but her approach also develops in the reader a greater love and appreciation for the Word of God. I happily give my hearty endorsement to this work and pray everyone who is serious about growing in the Lord reads it!" ANGELA COURTE MACKENZIE host, SuperChannel TV; Founder, Amazing Women "Although 'More than Devotion' features the time between our Lord's Resurrection and Pentecost, Salisbury's compelling devotions are also an invaluable resource for centering your thoughts on Christ during the fifty days before Easter. Daily Old and New Testament readings combine with thoughtful reflections and timeless truths that deepen faith and inspire a walk of intimacy on your journey to the Lenten Cross."
