how our small, insignificant stories could ever be part of the
glorious story God's writing on eternity. In Jesus
Every Day, Mary DeMuth shows us how to make ourselves available
to Him, wrapping prayers around key moments in the Bible. What a
lovely companion to a surrendered life."

World

beautiful prayers to Jesus based on His Word. Mary's life journey

hope. The prayers in this marvelous book remind us that whether we
are struggling in the valley or partying on the mountaintops, the
Jesus celebration is ongoing and we are His honored guests."

"I knew when I prayed the very first prayer in this book that I
was holding something incredibly special. I found myself in the
presence of God with a lump in my throat, and I experienced
something completely new: The deep things in my heart were
beautifully written on the page in front of me. If you are serious
about going deeper with God, Jesus Every Day is
for you."

"Talk about fresh, deep, and authentic! I found myself a bit
breathless as I read through Mary DeMuth's Jesus
Every Day, eager to pray through the Bible with her. The
life-changing petitions probe real stuff and offer real
grace."
