Refreshing Purposeful Perspectives for Living

New York Times best selling author Bishop T. D. Jakes provides readers a study guide, “40 Days of Power,” to accompany his book “Power for Living.” This study guide or devotional journal is divided into forty individual themes which expand the concepts and principles found in the book itself.

Each day’s inspirational meditation features a Scripture, based on the topic being considered for the day. The topics under consideration correspond directly with material presented in the “Power for Living” book. The reader is directed to reflect on a power perspective or principle from life and given probing questions for reflection, meditation, and for personal application. The topics include exciting principles which encourage living empowered by purpose, discovering a fresh perspective, reaching out in compassion, walking in victory, triumphing over fear, developing perseverance, and growing in steadfastness.

Profound in deep spiritual truth, each devotional is designed to provide food for contemplation, refresh insight and to encourage the reader to receive, realize, and release the power of God’s anointing on their life. This study guide is ideal for individual use, small group interactive study, or for larger Bible classes and fellowships.

“40 Days of Power” is a noteworthy resource intended to enhance your study and help you integrate the principles developed in Bishop Jake’s “Power for Living.” The study will prepare the reader to face up to the challenge of life’s struggles and to bring glory to God the Father, Jesus the Son, and His Holy Spirit.
