[Meagan | The Chapter House · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this devotional read, especially after attending Church of the Apostles (where Youssef is the founding rector) for some months. Youssef writes approachably and honestly, and I appreciate how he brings his own background and upbringing to his writings.
