All in all, they need daily reminders and encouragement to follow Gods Word. The Bible is always useful for current situations that college students face, so the focus of these devotionals is more useful to them than other, more generalized types of devotional readings.To emphasize the enduring truth of the Bible, devotional readings come from every book of both the Old and New Testaments. The Bible is absolutely true, every part of it, every word of it. An index of passages and an index of readings are appended at the back of the book to show the biblical emphasis.Devotional readings include the scripture passage, so that students need not carry a separate Bible with them in order to read the selection. The readings are purposely kept short (300-500 words), so that students can gain the most from their available time.

I wanted to write a story based on a woman, a mother, who has lost her husband and must now create a life for herself and her three children. She was raised in the church, but things edged God out as the focus of her life. She stopped recognizing her life as dependent and guided by Him, but found that He was always there for her. Often we stray from our relationship with Him, but when we find ourselves seeking Him again, we discover that He is there. He always has been. God is constant. He is never failing. He seeks only to have a relationship with us. If I can speak to someones heart through my story, and they can become aware of how God has continued to weave their story, even when they were unaware, I will be grateful. Shelly would say, I looked for Him everywhere. Who would have thought, that at my lowest, Id find Him right by my side. If that is your situation, I hope you will take a moment, stop, and look Who is right beside you, patiently waiting for you.I hope this will be the first story of the people that God wove together to form a body of believers who seek only to serve and share His love.
