Take Heart: Daily Devotions to Deepen Your Faith
It’s easy to lose heart in a world where many things can and do go wrong. Life is difficult, and there are struggles within and without, but we can take heart—the Lord is with us. He hears our cries for mercy. He knows our every need. He guides us, helps us, and strengthens us with his mighty right arm. Journey through a year with David Powlison, learning to “take heart” by meditating on his favorite Scripture passages, hymns, and biblical themes, exploring the ways God meets us with daily grace right where we live. Drawn from David Powlison’s many decades of writing, teaching, and speaking, Take Heart is a yearlong devotional journey into the process of biblical change, where truth becomes clearer and our ears hear and our eyes see what God tells us about himself. Learn to go to God for the help you need and hold fast to the daily mercy and grace he offers. And be reminded the promises of God are true and that the resurrection of Jesus guarantees that no matter what you may be facing, you can live in real hope.

“David was a beacon in the Biblical Counselling movement. I first met him in London, then in Philadelphia, and then he came to India to teach counselling. His ability to dig deeply into the biblical text and come out with nuances was in my view unsurpassed, as was his empathy and patience with struggling believers. I always looked forward to his articles on counselling. They were a refreshing waft of Holy Spirit insight. I look forward to continuing to use these meditations.” Raju Abraham, MBBS; MRCP(IRE); FRCP(LON) Neuropsychiatrist; cofounder of the Association of Biblical Counsellors in the UK and India
