Description
An imaginative and gently challenging series of forty-nine reflections on seven biblical themes, from creation to the churches of Revelation, written in Emily Owen's unique interactive style. In this inspirational devotional, Emily Owen weaves together biblical reflections, prayer, personal stories, with a creative 'voice' of God, which all gently steer the reader into a closer walk with Jesus. The Power of Seven encourages us to look afresh at some of the themes of seven in the Bible. Creation, who God is, God as shepherd, the 'I AM's of the Bible, the last words of Jesus from the cross, and what we add to our faith (Goodness, Perseverance etc) are examined, with the book ending with a powerful section on Jesus speaking to the Revelation churches, beautifully and sensitively written in a fresh and engaging way. Emily combines devotions with personal stories whilst always pointing to Jesus in her usual gentle, thoughtful yet very powerful way. The voice of Jesus as Emily imagines it in this book is powerful, the prayers are helpful, and Emily's unique reflective and interactive style helps the reader to come into the presence of God.
