Prayers for every aspect of lifeDuring the pandemic, priest and theologian David Taylor began writing collects (an ancient form of short prayer) as a daily spiritual exercise. It was a way for him to offer back to God his own fears and anxieties. As time went on, he began to receive requests for written prayers from friends and even strangers for a wide variety of circumstances and needs. His collection of prayers grew until it numbered in the hundreds.Prayers for the Pilgrimage is a compilation of Taylor's prayers, arranged by topic and accompanied by a series of paintings by his wife, Phaedra. Here are prayers for morning and evening, work and play, public life and private life, doubt and faith—from Advent to Lent, from birth to death.The Christian faith invites us to pray all of our lives back to God, lest we begin to believe that there is any part of our lives that God doesn't see or isn't interested in seeing. Prayers for the Pilgrimage gives us not only specific prayers but also a model for understanding our whole lives as prayer.

Altars have always represented change. They are the places where sacred space meets our surrender and leads to authentic spiritual transformation. From the beginning of time, God's people have built altars to mark the places where God spoke, gave direction, or gave His blessing. It is the place where God's people surrendered offerings to Him in obedience. In the New Testament, Jesus became that surrendered offering, but He also became the place—in His person—for those who were hurting, lost, and who longed to encounter God. In the midst of a world filled with chaos and disappointment, pain and death, there is a promise of restoration and transformation. However, it isn't found at the end of our lives, but at the end of ourselves. It is found when we embrace surrender. This daily reader will awaken obedient hearts and minds to the transforming power of a surrendered life.

Don E. Atkinson wrote Day by Day with Hebrews to unpack the spiritual truths the author endeavored to communicate to his original readers/hearers. Don achieves this goal by dealing sequentially with every verse in Hebrews, resulting in 174 thought-provoking devotionals. As Don journeys through Hebrews, he consistently notes and explains key theological themes, contrasts, metaphors, types, comparisons, and rhetorical questions found in this sermon addressed to messianic Jews of the first century AD. He concludes each daily entry with a'Thought for the Day,'to help his readers reflect on biblical truths and apply them to their lives. If readers actively use the abundant biblical knowledge presented in his devotional, as they engage with Hebrews, Atkinson is convinced they will'Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ'(2 Peter 3:18a).

We all come from someone, somewhere, and something—a people, a place, and a story. So does Jesus. The heart and mission of Emmanuel, God with us, is more profoundly understood by exploring the well-watered roots that flowered into Jesus's life as the Word of God made flesh (John 1:14). The roots of Jesus are his family tree and its characters, the land of Israel and its towns and terrain, and the incredible faith-story of God's covenant people, the Jews. In Roots: Advent and the Family Story of Jesus, we rediscover that Jesus—born naturally of a mother from a family line herself, and nurtured by a father who knew the names of his own kin many generations into the past (Matthew 1:1–17)—comes from the family vine of the great King David, the son of Jesse, and from a long line of faithful men and women. The idea known as a “Jesse Tree” will be our map. A Jesse Tree is an approach to the preparation season of Advent, leading us toward Christmas, that encourages us to revisit stories from the Hebrew Bible to help us gain insights into the family line of Jesus and the spiritual mandate of the child born to save the world. We will draw from both Jesus'genealogical ancestry and his faith heritage, as we walk together on a journey through the stories of saints and sinners woven into the family line of the Son of God.

Like all the Food for the Journey books, its undated format means you can start and finish at any time of the year, and work through it at your own pace.Uplifting and encouraging, this short devotional invites us to bask in God's love, appreciate afresh its depth and richness, and warm our hearts, equipping and empowering us to love and serve him better.
