You, LORD, are my lamp;
the LORD turns my darkness into light.
2 SAMUEL 22:29

"One of the best devotional books I've ever read. Ben Gates has the ability to take the Word of God and make it relevant to where we all live."

-Bob Yawberg, Founding Pastor, Broadway Christian Church, Fort Wayne, Indiana

"Ben Gates has offered a rich gift in the pages of this book. You will find passages that encourage you and others that challenge you in your pursuit of Jesus. His reflections, wisdom, and insights are wrapped in an honesty and genuineness that's refreshing in a world that often just skims the surface or offers easy answers. I think you'll find much here that helps you go deeper in your walk with Jesus while helping you live into His call to love others deeply and sacrificially."

-Lance Finley, Executive Director, The Churches of God, General Conference, Findlay, Ohio

"Being able to pause each day to catch the freshness of the gospel is what Ben provides. Harvesting his years of presenting the gospel to college students, many new to the faith, has empowered these writings to be simple, clear, and impactful. Come and receive this freshness."

-Mark Robison, Chairman and President, Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company, Fort Wayne, Indiana
