What readers are saying

I remember when I sensed a longing for deeper intimacy with God, but didn’t know how to find it. I read His Word, but it no longer penetrated my heart. I blamed myself: I wasn’t disciplined enough or spiritual enough. Eventually, other things crowded in. I knew God had more for me, but I was missing it.
So I prayed for a deeper hunger for His Word.
God answered that prayer. He opened my eyes to people in the Bible who felt like me: unseen or unloved. Their stories remind me of God’s love for me! It’s like falling in love with Jesus all over again. That can happen for you, too!
I can help.
After seminary, I began writing a Bible study series based on messy stories in the Bible–like Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute or Hagar, the runaway slave girl. Gritty stories of real people with impossible challenges whose lives intersect with the One who overcomes the impossible.
