Description: What is forgiveness? How can we be truly grateful for our lives? What does spiritual healing really mean? How can we attain inner peace, joy, and contentment? So many spiritual questions confront us on a daily basis it is hard to know how to answer each and yet still experience spirituality in a meaningful way. Here, Covert offers a devotional and educational source that provides practical insights for the reader into how to lead each day more spiritually.

Broken into thematic sections, each brief chapter examines a passage of scripture in its biblical context, with an emphasis upon how the text speaks to us today. The topics, which provide scripture from both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, speak to every aspect of life, offering guidance, strength, and hope. The lessons and themes, which provide inner strength and renewal, speak to one's deepest needs. Scriptures are presented in their simplest form and Covert makes them pertinent to everyday life. Whether pastor or lay person, young or old, this is a book that speaks to the heart, crossing all denominational lines and cultural divides.
