Free Stuff Fridays (Moody Publishers)

Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Moody Publishers who also sponsored the blog this week. They are giving away 5 copies of Practicing the Present: The Neglected Art of Living in the Now by John Koessler.

Here’s how they describe it:

The present is more than a place where the past comes to rest.

It is more than a staging ground for the future.

The present is where God shows up.

We live our lives in the present, but often our minds are racing toward the future or overwhelmed by the past. We want to change the past and control the future, but usually, all we really do is exhaust ourselves in the here and now. Writing especially with church leaders in mind, Dr. John Koessler, a former pastor and professor, teaches you how to evade the tyranny of past regrets and future plans and meet God right where you are, in the present.

    Devotionals I Recommend For a New Year

    With 2024 quickly waning, many of us are beginning to think about a devotional approach for the year ahead.

We must guard ourselves against looking to…
