Break The Box: A Message of Hope and Inspiration VOLUME ONE is a devotional like no other. It is uniquely organized to give you a word of the day to meditate on, the devotional itself, questions to contemplate, and a prayer for each day all in a two- volume set. The two-volume format (39 days and 27 days) covers all 66 books of the Bible in an easy to read format. The book(s) have a three-fold purpose: 1) to empower those who preach the Word of God to get started with a bit of exegesis; 2) to give the casual reader inspiration each day as they learn about God's Word; and 3) while reading God's Word, to become closer to The Lord and to be inspired and help the reader along their journey.
The title of the book(s) comes from a message preached by D. Michelle Stokes entitled Break The Box: Settling the Issue of Worship. As we break our box in worship, we get closer to the Lord and see Him as He is and ourselves as we really are, more clearly. The two-volume set is meant to be read consecutively in any order...i.e. you can read volume one first then volume two or vice versa. It is the author's hope and prayer that this two-volume set blesses your life and you find hope, inspiration, and enrichment in seeking The Lord and reading His Word!
