Jesus Bread of Heaven – Devotional for Lent

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment

When I was a boy I loved the smells coming from the kitchen when my mom baked bread. I could hardly wait for her to hand me a warm slice slathered with butter right from the oven. We need to ask ourselves if we are also longing to know God like that. Are we eager to come into His presence and receive a fresh word from Him each day? Now is the time to set our sights again to that first Easter morning when Mary came to the tomb and became the first one to see our risen Lord! Jesus Bread of Heaven includes a devotional reading for each day from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. As we begin Lent begin with your reading and then take time to pray and then listen to what God has to say. Only He can lead us through our problems and on to all that He has planned for us in life!

If you are looking for a devotional to read during lent; Jesus bread of Heaven is a daily reader that comes in both standard as well as large print. While this edition carries many of my classic Easter themed devotionals it also offers a fresh perspective on all we have experienced during the Covid-19 crisis, elections and craziness of this past year. Let’s refocus on Jesus, who gives us hope as we as we put our faith in Him and the miracle of Easter.

Whatever Happened to Christmas?

I know it might seem early but before you know it the holiday season will arrive, and the release date for this year’s Christmas devotional “Whatever happened to Christmas?” is here. This thirty day walk from Thanksgiving to the manger takes a few peeks back at Christmas memories because in a world at war with Corona Virus, we desperately need to recall the peace of Christmas.  Does anyone still remember that wondrous sense of timelessness that Christmas day once held? Today, are we constantly running due to necessity or are we just staying busy because it helps make us to feel important? When Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a humble manger shepherds left their flocks in the fields to see Him, the Wise Men left their homes to worship and even angels stood breathlessly on tiptoes to watch.

God now invites us to join them in knowing that no matter what is happening around us Jesus Christ is worthy of our worship. Christmas means listening again to the amazing story of the child of Bethlehem whose name is Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace and the Savior of our crazy world.

Whatever happened to Christmas is in both standard and large print, while the e-book version will be available starting on Saturday 10-24-20. So, whatever happened to Christmas? The answer is nothing! By His grace it remains forever the same!

Caregiver Devotional – New Edition

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment

First a little background on me might help in that I have spent over the last twenty-five years ministering every week in six different long term care facilities. I learned that it was not only the residents but also their families and loved ones who struggled to understand how to make it through day by day. So originally I wrote this short devotional book to come alongside and let them know that they were not alone and that God had not forgotten about them.

Grace for the Road image

Then when the Corona virus crisis intensified,  I went back to the manuscript and have added more readings specific to the new reality as well as a new introduction. If you are a caregiver yourself or know someone who needs a gentle reminder of God’s grace and hope this book may be just for you. It is also available in large print. You could either click through on the link or find it for yourself on Amazon.
