In a practical and engaging manner, Matt Smethurst—managing editor of The Gospel Coalition—presents nine heart postures that will prepare you to unpack all that's awaiting you in God's Word.

That's where Wendy Speake comes in with a fresh twist on her popular forty-day sugar and social media fasts.

Part of the classic Secret series devotionals, The Secret of United Prayer contains one month of daily selections on the power of united prayer.
