Discovering Devotion Marcus Yates Ford

Discovering Devotion shows the emotional and spiritual journey of the author. His thoughts are shaped through creative selections and expressed in four chapters, each of which features 35 entries. "The Birth and Balance" is the process of learning and experiencing quality life. "Serenity of Admiration, Hope and Love" captures the exploration of the desires of the heart, when it comes to companionship. "The Acknowledgement of Heartache and Growth" captures the authentic situations before the author's new elevation in the first two chapters. The author includes the manuscript "A Heart that Cries" to show that one does not simply arrive at peace, love, and joy; it's a course of connection. The last chapter, "The Dedication to Divine Direction," reveals the author's spiritual connection with his Lord and Savior. In this chapter, selections include divine works that praise God for His grace and mercy. The author's journey of creation, enhancement and inspiration is all part of God's plan. Through all four chapters the action of Love is forever present. The author expresses this overall theme through old and new relationships with individuals as well as God. He shows that devotion is truly love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause. More importantly the author shows that devotion is prayers, religious worship or observance. This book perfectly describes discovering, which is "to find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search."
