Wow, this cast! Amazing women whom I respect deeply and voices which I long to hear and be edified by. In our sector of the vineyard, it’s rare to hear and accept edification from women because of the way our theological preferences have marginalized their voices! However, this book is a key place for the body of Christ (particularly men) to be bombarded by an entourage of women who love Jesus, are biblically sound, and are offering a vast reservoir of gospel gold! The great ethnic and experiential landscape within this book adds to the wealth that will come by engaging in this great work!

Insightful. Clear. Eye-opening. A few words to describe this beautiful, well-written devotional that expounds Psalm 119. The different writing styles, experiences, and knowledge of the contributors blend collectively to send a single powerful message of the truth of God's Word. The vulnerability of the writers drew me in, and once I was drawn in I was able to receive the Word of God with great clarity! Grateful for how this devotional has blessed me and so many others!
