About This Book
The God Shot devotional explores small, powerful sections from each book of the New Testament one day at a time. By reading the passages in context, youll be able to see the meaning of each individual verse in new ways and how they tie together to weave a picture of God and His goodness.
Each days reading points toward a name or attribute of God that the passage reveals, showing how Gods character can be found throughout Scripture. In these quick and helpful snapshots directly focused on the Word of God, youll not only be encouraged, but youll learn more about who God is and how to find Him on every page of the Bible.
Its a Bible study in ninety seconds or lessbut even in its brevity, my hope is that youll find it dense with theological truth and encouragement.
The God of Peace
