Soothing Rain: Living Water to Refresh Your Soul is a treasure of 52 devotions with study questions that can be used alone or as a weekly guide for small group discussion.

Author Tonya Jewel Blessing speaks from experiences across the globe and the impact of ministry in a third-world country. She brings insight with a flavor of international travel and perspectives, using illustrations that connect the Word of God with current events.

Author Sue Summers asks about your life’s experiences as you flesh out the devotional, and brings insights into why you look at the Bible the way you do. She helps you see what triggers from your past equip you for the future.

Written for women, topics include:

• Measuring life through God’s eyes.
• The fragrance of influence.
• Our emotional make-up.
• Letting the Lord use us to enhance, flavor, and illuminate our world.
• What does the music of your life sound like?
• The symbolism of water.
• The shoe-tying anointing.
• How God’s truths speak to our present situation.
• Sharing the beautiful name of Jesus.
• Making our footprints plain and easy to follow.
• Letting God weave His dream into our lives.
• Being women of second chances.

Whether used daily or weekly, the devotional generates thoughts to dig deeper into Scripture and its application. What I like best about it is the international flavor Tonya brings from her life as a missionary in South Africa. Sue compliments the whole picture, with reflection questions to shed a different light when processing Scripture. They make a good team, and collectively bring refreshment to dry souls. Soothing Rain will not disappoint!

I am giving away a copy of Soothing Rain to one reader in the continental United States. Leave a comment on my blog (at the top of this post, under the title). Tell me your favorite Bible passage and why it is special. You will be entered into the drawing to be held on Thursday evening, December 5. Share on social media to get an extra entry in the drawing (let me know where you shared).

I can’t wait to hear your stories!
