Young Women on the Journey: Beauty for Ashes (Devotional Book)

I just wanted to let everyone know about a new devotional book: YoungWomenontheJourneyYoung Women on the Journey: Beauty for Ashes 

I’m excited about this publication for two reasons.  First and foremost, my wife has three entries.  We are looking forward to seeing her testimony in printed form and we know it will inspire young women all over the Philippines.

But I’ve actually been a fan of the Women on the Journey devotional books for quite some time.  I’ve been giving them as gifts to friends and family for years.

We are thrilled to be a part of this book and we look forward to hearing your feedback.  It is published by Church Strengthening Ministry (the same company I partnered with for my books).
