    AN INVITATION TO DISCOVER THE DEPTH OF THE FATHER’S LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE


    Living in a fast-forward culture, it’s easy to feel overlooked, forgotten or uninvited. If you are like most people, you long to be recognized, hunger to be included and want to feel part of something greater than yourself.


    We know God has more for us, but it seems like the cares of daily life steal away our confidence. If we are not careful the courage to live out our dreams will slip away without a fight.


    In this 312 page devotional Cathy Banks along with fifty other women share life altering stories, private moments of faith and encouraging words of truth. Each day’s reading will empower you to live your best life. To push away lies that make you feel unloved, less than enough or unworthy.


    Within the first week of reading this book, you will begin moving down the path to reclaiming your confidence as you experience the depths of the Fathers love and mercy.

    "The Invitation – To Intimacy with God" . . . a Devotional by Cathy S. Banks and 50 other authors
