In our complicated, hectic world we all long for a sanctuary from the chaos - a refuge where we can rest, to refuel and hear truth to counteract the negative messages with which we are bombarded.
That is what has inspired Dr. Jeremiah to write his first 365-day devotional--to encourage readers to maintain the awareness of God's manifest presence, no matter where their day takes them. Each daily reading contains a suggested scripture passage, Dr. Jeremiah's insightful comments, and a thought for the day.
Sanctuary will help readers find the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit in the midst of the busyness and distractions of everyday life.
