Journey of the Heart: 40 Days to a Transformed Life

The year 2020 has brought tremendous upheaval to the world, leaving many anxious about the future and, perhaps, feeling unworthy of God's love due to past mistakes. But He cared enough to knit us together and create us in his image; He knows us intimately, values us, and loves us.

Journey of the Heart presents a devotional intended to lead you through a forty-day journey of transformation. During these tumultuous times, you can develop ways to deal with anxiety, focus on prayer, and learn the importance of surrender to your destination of a transformed life. Along the way, authors Sheila Vanaman and Donna Hopkins Smith describe four important steps: Calming the Storm, Attitude of Prayer, Surrendering to God's Will, and Road to a Transformed Life. They also provide space to use for journaling and an accompanying study guide. As you take this journey, their hope is that you will learn to be still and listen to God's voice.

Uplifting and engaging, this forty-day devotional guides you through scriptures that can show you how God's marvelous love will transform your life.
