This devotional featuring inspirational oil paintings by artist Jenny Highsmith invites readers to look up, breathe deep, and feel the peace and presence of God.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV)
In a world filled with trials and uncertainty, it’s comforting to know that God’s love and care for you is unchanging. Amid your darkest nights, there will always be a dawn. The sun will always rise, bringing with it new and tender mercies from your Heavenly Father.
Featuring stunning skyscapes from artist Jenny Highsmith’s New Mercies collection of original oil paintings, each devotion includes a key Scripture verse, spiritual insights, a heartfelt prayer, questions for further reflection, and a special note from Jenny.
Every Day New will encourage you daily to set your eyes on Jesus amid life’s storms.
It took me quite awhile to finish this devotional but that is not a reflection of this book! I simply fit it in between other Bible Studies and daily reading plans . It is not only a beautiful book filled with Jenny's art and the occasional artistic tip, but also daily scripture, meditations, and journaling spaces. There is typically one verse a day so it is best paired with daily time in the word. However, it really does allow space for reflection and a reminder to daily set our eyes on Christ! It is a great quiet time companion and a good fit for those in all stages of the faith.
Jenny's artwork is truly spectacular and her writing is no different. Her paintings have graced my counseling office and provided comfort and serenity for clients over many years. Now, her words speak to my own heart through her devotional, Every Day New. For anyone navigating the intricacies of life with Jesus and needing encouragement or rest, this devotional is a wonderful place to begin.
I have followed Jenny for years, so I was so excited about this book. It's truly a work of art. The devotionals are the perfect length, and the words feel honest and life-giving and full of God's truth. I finish each day feeling encouraged and spurred on. I've recommended this to all my gals, it's THAT good.
Read hard cover as part of a daily prayer/devotional. It is a beautiful devotional filled with the author’s art and lettering/scripture. A great way to start each morning, whether on a clear and sunny day, or for those stormy days. I didn’t find it deep or soul searching, but it was an uplifting encouragement to start each day. Recommend, especially as a gift.
Just like the author’s first book, the imagery is beautiful. The paintings really pop right off the page and it is a work art going through it. The devotionals are wonderfully written and the questions after are thought-provoking. A great read I recommend to all my friends!
I've loved reading through this book so far! In addition to the beautiful artwork by the author, each day has been uniquely challenging, encouraging and practical!
I loved this devotional! Every chapter was so relevant and each of the paintings included are very beautiful. I have already recommended this book to several friends.
