12 Words Susan Dodson

Pain and loneliness can be overwhelming, causing us to respond in ways that distort our thinking, destroy our relationships, and drive us down paths of self-destruction. 12 Words is a book about God's redeeming grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This book of devotions is inspired by God's un-surpassing power that overcame addiction, His unyielding love that conquered shame, and His unfailing promise that delivered purpose and peace. It emerged from a personal journey of finding God in the ordinary, everyday experiences of life.

That same love and power are available to you! We all go through times of doubt, fear, and darkness but "the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever" (1 Peter 5:10-11, NIV).

This testimony of hope and assurance that God counts each one of us worthy will encourage you to absorb the promises of God and embrace Him as the One who holds your future through a growing personal relationship with Him. He is our One true source of healing and only in His Presence do we find our joy, comfort, and peace.
