Unglued Devotional By Lysa TerKeurst

This companion devotional to the bestselling book Unglued provides encouragement to help readers handle emotional struggles. Including a daily opening Scripture, Thought for the Day, devotion, and closing prayer, this book helps readers begin a 60-day journey in learning to positively process raw emotions, such as fear, anger, and regret.
I just want to say, I have not quite finished the devotional yet, I'm about part way through because I want to take time and reflect on the pasages and how I can apply them to my own life. This is a 60 day devotional which I want to slow down and just focus on one chapter a day. I have not ready TerKeurst's bestseller (prequel to this devotional) Unglued. But when I saw the devotional I knew I just had to check it out. As a husband, father to a toddler, and main breadwinner I've had plenty moments where it felt like it was all coming undone, or in this case "unglued". But this devotional helps us to realize that even in the not so great moments, God is always there if we call on him to help us through.

Just Like Jesus (Devotional) By Max Lucado

God wants to give you a heart just like Jesus. Jesus felt no guilt; God wants you to feel no guilt. Jesus had no bad habits; God wants to do away with yours. Jesus had no fears; God wants the same for you. Jesus had no anxiety about death; you needn't either. God's desire, his plan, his ultimate goal is to make you into the image of Christ. This is your invitation to spend thirty intimate days with the Savior learning how to become more like Jesus. Can you think of a better offer?
What a rich and rewarding experience and another chance to go deeper with God. Max Lucado has yet to disappoint. His words are always backed up by scriptural references and he gets you thinking about your life and being everything God planned for you to be. There are 30 chapters meant to be read one a day to get you thinking as well as reflecting on God's word. I think it is a devotional I can refer back to over and over again
