101 Cups of Water by C.D. Baker

CONGRATULATIONS TO TANJA PROSOCK
ON RECEIVING THE GIVEAWAY COPY
OF THIS AMAZING DEVOTIONAL!!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

C.D. Baker dips into the flowing stream of God’s love and draws out relief, refreshment, mercy, hope and sustenance for a new generation of Christ-followers. Baker’s clean, simple prose is paired with evocative, black and white photographs that will etch each truth into the reader’s memory.






ABOUT THE BOOK:

C.D. Baker founded and operated an award-winning insurance business before redirecting his career to write. His historical novel Crusade of Tears in The Journey of Souls series earned a Christy Award nomination. He’s completing a master’s degree in theological studies at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where he splits his time from home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His website is http://www.cdbaker.com/.






MY TAKE ON THE BOOK:

A powerful, refreshing devotional. I think this book will become a weathered friend alongside My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers. A cup of water, a sip of homemade chicken broth, a daily vitamin - this book contains nugget-sized food for thought that hit home and lasted through the day. C.D. Baker offers candid glimpses into his inner struggles and the truths of God that can empower us to overcome those same things.

As a mother with young children, this devotional was the perfect reading length - just one short page. Sometimes that was all I had time to ponder and then sometimes I found myself reading five at a time (therein the reason that I could easily read it again).

Just as side note, as a fellow resident in Bucks County (how cool!), it might have just been my imagination, but I'm pretty sure I recognized the location of one of the pictures - a fantastic spot!)
