Blessed: Ninety Days to Change Your World

This book offers a 90-day devotional that can help congregations commit to daily prayer. Author Ken Gurly, senior pastor of First Church in Pearland, Texas, and host of the Daily Devotion podcast, believes the 90-day commitment can help readers develop a life-changing prayer habit. To make this Christian devotional easy to use, the book offers a short prayer focus for each day and organizes the daily prayers into themes, such as pursuing relationship with God, biblical models for effective prayer, giving thanks, and more.
