Kristin Demery - One Good Word a Day: 365 Invitations to Encourage, Deepen, and Refine Your Faith

One Good Word a Day is like a daily treasure hunt, providing opportunities to look for the work God is doing in your everyday life through the lens of each days word. As a self-proclaimed word nerd, I love how this book guided me through so many applicable themes at just the right time. Focusing on one word a day is a brilliant way to remember the Scriptures provided and truly internalize their meaning. Julie, Kendra, and Kristin have a unique gift of inviting you into their lives and pointing back to Jesus through the relatable and refreshing words on these pages.

As though a lovely memoir, this devotional uses events and life lessons from the authors lives to guide and soothe like a fragrant balm to the sojourners soul. Julie, Kendra, and Kristin offer encouragement to take one good step a day toward a deeper faith.

SHELLI LITTLETON , author of A Gift Worth Keeping

Julie, Kendra, and Kristin touch the hearts of those who, like myself, love words. One Good Word a Day is more than a devotional. Its a sweet place to go deeper in, examining who we are in the face of the good and the difficult days, coming out better able to serve the world around us.

CHRISTINA SUZANN NELSON , award-winning author of More Than We Remember and IfWe Make It Home

Sometimes our circumstances threaten to crowd out our walk with God. But our daily time with him doesnt have to suffer. If you are looking for a devotional to go to for that much-needed encouragement in your day, One Good Word a Day will bring perspective and hope to whatever you are facing.

RUTH SCHWENK , co-host of Rootlike Faith podcast and author of The Better Mom Devotional

With so much contending for our attention, women are longing for daily, deep, and satisfying encounters with Jesus. We crave to be awakened deeper into who we are and who we are called to be. One Good Word a Day delivers transformative, rich, and thought-provoking invitations infusing fresh perspectives lasting far beyond one day. The varying backgrounds of this writing trio deepen the understanding and application of each devotion. Through richly applicable and focused daily readings, readers will be both encouraged and challenged to approach each day with fresh beauty and awe.

AMANDA DAVISON , founder of A Wife Like Me

My spiritual journey can feel overwhelming at times. Thats why the sweet simplicity of One Good Word a Day was exactly what my fatigued heart needed. Each page gave me the spiritual boost I needed, one day, one biblically-infused word at a time!

AMBER LIA , coauthor of the best-selling Triggers book series and Parenting Scripts

This incredible resource is more than just a daily devotional. It is a miniature, digestible word study with resonant application. There is not an abundance of books that actually live up to their subtitle promise, but Julie Fisk, Kendra Roehl, and Kristin Demery have truly launched 365 invitations to encourage, deepen, and refine your faith, and you wont want to miss a single one. This is a book Ill be going back to again and again!

TIFFANY EDMONDS , managing editor of The Joyful Life magazine

If recent times have taught me anything, its that the future is way too uncertain for me to choose a single word to drive an entire year. (Anyone else choose the word gather for 2020 and then have to backpedal in March?) Even so, I still see the value of allowing words to help me intentionally focus on the things of the Lord. This devotional offers the perfect mix of ambition and practicality. Instead of offering a single word to ring out as the anthem for our entire year, One Good Word a Day allows our focus words to serve as a soothing soundtrack instead. The beauty of these morning coffee-sized devotions is that they give the Holy Spirit an opportunity to whisper a just-right word at a just-right time. Peace when you need it. Resolve when you require it. And yes, even gather when youve missed it.
