Daily Joy
How can women in the modern world find their Joy in God? In Daily Joy, Crossway presents a devotional for women to find their joy in God every day.
Heart Transformation with Real-Life Application
This resource aims to nurture women in their relationship with the Lord. The goal is heart transformation with real-life application. I learned that God has something to say directly to women, and it was a joy to hear Him speak in grace and truth. The themes of what it means to be a woman, living for the Lord, and hoping in God are not forced. Rather, they come from the natural flow and applications of the text. Readers will find their heart moved and drawn to want more of Jesus.
Contributors include Kristie Anyabwile, Lydia Brownback, Keri Folmar, Gloria Furman, Kristyn Getty, Nancy Guthrie, Glenna Marshall, Trillia Newbell, Jani Ortlund, Joni Erickson Tada, Jen Wilkin, and more. A handful of men also contributed. Their words are warm yet challenging. The devotions span the scope of the entire Bible, taking you on a journey from Genesis to Revelation. There is much wisdom and also encouragement in this book.
Every New Day
What I most enjoyed was the sense of hope I heard throughout the book. The writers take the daily challenges of womanhood to heart. This does not result in a watered-down approach to the Bible. Rather, the book digs deeper into the central truths and themes found throughout Scripture. It is richly rewarding to take the Bible with such seriousness and care.
With each devotion being 1-2 pages in length, it is definitely possible to spend time in God’s Word each day. Your mind will be sharpened, your heart will be strengthened, and your soul will be fed. By spending time with God, in his Word and in prayer, you will be equipped to face the challenges of every new day. His mercies are new every morning. The joy of the Lord will be your strength.
