| 365 Devotions for Peace by Cheri Cowell |
As soon as I saw Cheri Cowell’s name on the cover of 365 Devotions for Peace, I selected it
for my reading. I had never read Cheri’s writing before, but I heard her speak
at a Write2Ignite Conference one year. Impressed by her speaking, I was eager
to read her writing.
Each of the 365
Devotions for Peace is between 150-200 words in length. I found their
brevity a nice accompaniment to my daily Bible reading.
Also, I thought about people battling in the middle of a crisis. Some of life’s torrential storms delay a lengthy basking in God’s Word. This book is perfect for those brief moments of respite.

Each devotion begins with one verse of scripture.
Scriptures are taken from various versions of the Holy Bible—NIV, NCV, NASB,
NKJV, MSG, and The Voice.
Following the scripture is a devotion and each ends with a one-to-two-sentence prayer.
Fifteen areas are covered including: Peace with God,
Peace at Home, Peace Within, Peace in Times of Trouble, and Peace for the
World.
If you know someone who is searching for peace, this
book would make a lovely and thoughtful gift. Perhaps you’ll win the copy of Cheri’s
book I’m giving away this week!
