Over the 20-year period that I was trapped in an abusive marriage, I left and reconciled with my husband many times before God gave me the courage to break free once and for all. I wanted to find a book that would soothe my troubled spirit and show me clearly the Scriptures that speak of God's heart for hurting and abused women. I could not find such a book and so, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I wrote this 40-day devotional. This devotional aims to comfort and uplift the hurting heart of any woman who, like me, was overwhelmed by the pain of an abusive marriage.

By all appearances, the town of Norick is perfect. Secluded amid a vast stretch of untamed wilderness, the settlement and her people are alone. Here, a thousand leagues into the North, the settlers have forged their own path. Here, in their isolation, the settlers have flourished. But in this idyllic mountain community, not everything is as it first seems. For William Breeve, the drunk, damaged captain of the Town Guard, Norick’s 100th anniversary celebration unfolds in a series of strange, disconcerting events. Events that make clear there’s more at work in these woods.

The question I address in this brief work is how Christ-followers might hold the tension of these two abiding and complementary truths: 1. Christ’s one-of-a-kind revelation 2. Abba’s all-inclusive love. I believe that Sacred Scripture and Christ himself affirm both these doctrines in a mind-blowing fullness. And yet those who enthusiastically profess either one of these two truths frequently do so at the expense of their complement.

The scriptures are an essential aspect of the Christian faith. But we have often equated them with the living Word himself, even elevating them above the One to whom they point. In doing so, we have distorted their central message - and our view of God. Tragically, this has caused multitudes of people unnecessary doubt, confusion, and pain in their encounters with the scriptures.

To be JourneyWise is to discover and live out the simple yet powerful truths of the Beatitudes.
