In Every Blessing Is Yours, Judy Nichols offers helpful insights and interesting personal stories while comparing the New Testament Beatitudes with the Old Testament wisdom of Isaiah. Highly recommended. Bill Deckard Senior Editor Crossway One of my weekly joys is reading Judy Nichols devotions. This collection is long overdue. Kevin Springer, Camarillo, CA Author of the highly acclaimed Power Evangelism and Power Healing (Harper Collins) As I read Every Blessing Is Yours, there was a sense of freshness brought to the study as Judy intertwined the Matthew and Luke passages with Isaiah 61. Richard L Widener Missions Director, Alliance for Renewal Churches Ms. Nichols draws from both her experience and her knowledge of the Scriptures, and the result is wonderfully enriching. Jay Shifley, M.Ed. Director of Business as Mission, Frontiers This is a book I want my family and friends to read. Judy Nichols mines the early teachings of Jesus in the Beatitudes in parallel with Isaiah 61 in ways that nourish and instruct the soul of the Christian. This gem promises riches to the reader. Ray Nethery Former Director of Asian Affairs, Campus Crusade for Christ Co-Founder and -Director of Grace Haven Ministry Center President Emeritus, Alliance for Renewal Churches There is no greater need today than for Christians to grow in Christ, to become true disciples and not mere followers. In Every Blessing Is Yours, I attempt to bring clarity by looking at the word pictures from Isaiah 61 and revealing how the Beatitudes teach us how to grow in Christ and to become mature, well-formed children of God. Every Blessing Is Yours is based on the premise that it is possible not only to live a blessed life but also to increase in that blessedness throughout life. The Beatitudes tell us what the blessed life looks like, Isaiah 61 elaborates and tells us how to make them functional. Looking at each Beatitude in turn, along with its parallels in Isaiah 61, gives us a sense of what spiritual growth looks like and how to achieve it. My hope is that readers will come away with not only knowledge and insight but also real spiritual growth and emotional health.
