Drawn: Discover God’s Presence in Seasons of Struggle and Renewal Through Powerful and Reflective True Stories

by Mitch Bakker

Have you ever felt like life pulled you out to sea, farther and farther from the shore you thought you knew? One moment everything seemed steady, and the next you were rocked by disappointment, grief, or doubt. In those moments, it is easy to wonder if God is still near. These feelings can shake even the strongest believer.

Drawn to Faith is a 40-day Christian devotional that speaks to those struggles and reminds readers that Christ is always on the shore. It includes a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Bob Goff, whose books Love Does and Everybody Always have inspired millions of readers worldwide.

Through powerful storytelling and biblical reflection, author and speaker Mitch Bakker weaves real-life experiences with timeless truth. Each devotional invites readers to rediscover hope and healing in God’s presence. Along the way, the book also serves as a primer for discovering your own story. As readers look back on their lives, they may begin to see with fresh eyes that God has been there all along—shaping, guiding, and drawing them closer. Every story matters, because each one is part of His greater story.

I found this book to be an incredibly interesting and inspiring work that consists of 40 chapters (short stories), each of which cause you to stop and reflect upon your own life experiences and the impact of Christ to direct your path.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I truly loved this book! The stories were engaging and uplifting, and I especially appreciated the way it showed how God can be woven into everyday life. As a newlywed who recently moved across the state, I found the chapter titled Empty Nest particularly relatable. It reminded me that change feels far less overwhelming when you lean on God for strength and guidance. This book offers something meaningful for everyone, and I would absolutely recommend it. I’m already looking forward to reading more of Mitch’s work!
