Canopy is a one-year devotional for parents of children who are facing long-term medical conditions. These parents have a new full-time job of nurturing their children amidst the challenges of illness. A family's life centered in the medical world could be defined by fear, worry and despair. However, God promises to provide comfort for "e;my people."e; His good design for them can, sometimes even must, be realized through hardship, even as they struggle to keep their little ones well and peaceful. May the Lord's words, handpicked from the Bible and shared in Canopy, help parents realize His purpose for them and remain strong during these difficult days of their lives. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. Isaiah 40:22
Do you know how the world began? How the universe began? How life began? You may think you do, but you don’t know – not really. Some may believe everything was created in some way (actually most people do). Some may believe in a “spontaneous event” like the Big Bang – many people believe that. But the operative word here isbelieve. We use words like know, believe, fact and truth, and we sort of use them interchangeably – but they’re not the same. What about Creation or Evolution? What do you think? What do you believe? What do you know? Well, this book, First and Foremost, explores all of these topics and sets the stage for much more investigation of truth versus belief versus negotiated truth in a series of non-fiction books to follow. So, open your mind, think, and come along for the ride.
If you are willing to take a journey to become a healthier you, then you will obtain the tools to bring lasting healing to your life and your relationships.
