This little book will be your companion for forty days of scripture reading and guided spiritual reflection. Each day begins with a one- to two-page reading from the Common English Bible followed by questions and space to record your own thoughts and prayers. Through this forty-day journey--an ancient Christian practice--you will deepen your relationship with God, who comes to us in the words of scripture and the silence of meditation. These first two themes in this new series are perfect for the new year as people meditate on and celebrate new beginnings. Features: Small trim size makes this very portable for having a short devotional and recording your thoughts in a variety of locations. Attractive and contemporary design makes for a perfect gift. The readability of the CEB translation lends itself to personal reflection. The themes are chosen seasonally but are appropriate for any time during the year someone wants to renew or reinvigorate their Bible study and prayer life.
