by Vaughn Weatherford

What if the next five minutes could transform your life? What if you could be five minutes closer to what really matters in life? What if you could be five minutes closer to the best person you can be?

You can! The Five Minutes Closer collection of devotionals, based on the podcast of the same name, is designed to help you discover and become the person God created you to be. Each devotion allows you to explore the promises recorded in scripture and apply them to your life in five-minute segments.

No book, including this one, can transform your life. Only Jesus can do that. To find out why, take a look at The First Five. These first five devotions describe the most essential information you will ever read. They also lay the foundation for the rest of the Five Minutes Closer devotions.

Each devotion in the Five Minutes Closer collection includes “Take Five,” practical applications of biblical truths. Take five minutes to find out how you can be five minutes closer to the person God created you to be.
