There are many ways you can use and enjoy this daily devotional guide. There are hundreds of inspiring stories to bless you day in and day out. Every day's devotional can be used in a small group Bible study. A congregation can choose any forty-day section and have a congregational study to grow deeper as a congregation. I wanted to compile a versatile book of faith, and my primary goal is to invite the reader to take one year and daily work on your faith for twenty minutes each day. I promise if you take the one-year challenge it will deepen your faith in ways you never dreamed. In Revelation 5:2-5 an angel asks, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" Only the Lion of Judah is found to be worthy. May this book help you to have a Lion of a faith in Jesus Christ.
