The devotional helped Tenecia through a difficult time in her professional life and the conversation with Cassidy was truly a godsend. Hope you enjoy. From the Author: My writing ministry grew from a desire to strengthen and empower others. I began my first blog, "Cross View," in 2009 to reach my readership. I was experiencing an especially difficult year in 2018. I was in a place of needing to find peace as I healed. I wanted to help others who may have been taking a similar journey. I composed several blogs that I eventually combined into a devotional. In July 2020, I released the collection of writings as my first book, Finding Peace During the Healing Process: A 21-Day Devotional . It is my deepest prayer for this devotional to help others to be healed, encouraged, and restored. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beyond-the-bookshelf1/support
