Judson Press began publishing the devotional to renew faith, invigorate the spirit, and strengthen personal relationships with God. A reader from Lynchburg, VA proclaims, “My spirits have been lifted by the example of others’ response to God and to the manner in which they witnessed to their faith. It has been a wonderful, encouraging, and uplifting way to start the day.”
