Wow, this cast! Amazing women whom I respect deeply and voices which I long to hear and be edified by.

The great ethnic and experiential landscape within this book adds to the wealth that will come by engaging in this great work!

Insightful. Clear. Eye-opening. A few words to describe this beautiful, well-written devotional that expounds Psalm 119. The different writing styles, experiences, and knowledge of the contributors blend collectively to send a single powerful message of the truth of God's Word. The vulnerability of the writers drew me in, and once I was drawn in I was able to receive the Word of God with great clarity! Grateful for how this devotional has blessed me and so many others!
