New Every Morning

First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Dr. Phil Barfoot and the other ministers who penned offerings for this book and their publisher for sending me a copy of "New Every Morning" to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy available to me. “New Every Morning” by Phil Barfoot and over 100 contributors is an engaging devotional.   As a choir member, I love the choir-related stories that teach me about the unity of the body of Christ.   To be honest, I thought this would be a “fluff” devotional, but this book is like boot camp!   The teaching each day prepares me for spiritual battle, challenges me to walk my talk and encourages me to keep going when I’m almost out of steam! I will be buying this devotional for all the loved ones on my Christmas gift list this year! New Every Morning is a beautiful devotional book written by Dr. Phil Barfoot an...
