About the Feature

In the “Books” section, Transformed by His Promises is described as:

“A unique 12-week devotional addressing life-interfering thoughts, emotions, and behaviors by mobilizing the transforming power of Bible scripture. Based on both authors’ personal transformational stories, it integrates biblical truth with clinically-grounded behavioral science to renew minds and rewire brains. Featuring 84 days of scripture, prayer, reflection, psychological skills, and Spirit-led encouragement, it’s ideal for individuals, small groups, and therapeutic settings. This devotional offers evidence-based practices for healing, purpose, and deeper spiritual growth.”
