Consistently reading God's word and cultivating spiritual practices in the home during the week can be a challenge. Engaging God's Story: Weekly Devotions for the Christian Year is a helpful resource that provides weekly Scripture readings, a devotion, questions for reflection, and a prayer of response. Engaging God's Story follows the Revised Common Lectionary and the cycles and seasons of the Christian year, providing a steady rhythm for reading and reflecting on God's word. Engaging God's Story can be used in a variety of ways. Worship leaders and pastors can use this resource to prepare for weekly worship planning, a means of engaging the word before crafting their liturgies or writing their sermons. Individuals can use this book for personal devotions, and parents can use it for family devotions during the week. Small group and Bible study leaders can use this resource for weekly Bible study. In all of these uses, Engaging God's Story allows the word of Christ to dwell in readers richly as a consistent means of spiritual growth and formation. Through each weekly devotion, the tapestry of biblical genres will allow all to see the big picture of God's redemption and his covenant faithfulness to his people.

""In Engaging God's Story, Paxson Jeancake provides individuals, families, and congregations with a comprehensive resource for spiritual growth. Each offering is grounded in Scripture and reflects the rich tradition of the church. Through the readings, reflections, and prayers, you will experience the blessing God desires when he commands through Paul, 'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, ' (Colossians 3:16)."" --Stephen T. Estock, Coordinator, Committee on Discipleship Ministries, Presbyterian Church in America ""Engaging God's Story offers both rich reflection and timely encouragement. Paxson Jeancake has crafted a devotional resource that not only deepens engagement with Scripture but also reveals the beauty of how the lectionary readings interact and illuminate one another. A wise and gentle companion, this book is an ideal guide for anyone seeking to journey more fully through the liturgical calendar."" --Danielle Hitchen, author of Sacred Seasons: A Family Guide to Center Your Year Around Jesus ""Engaging God's Story is a gift to the church. Jeancake offers a scripturally rich and accessible resource that helps parents step confidently into their role as primary disciplers of their children. With lectionary readings, devotions, and prayer responses, families can nurture faith at home in ways that flow naturally into and enrich weekly corporate worship. I recommend this book as a valuable tool for cultivating lifelong worshipers."" --Laney Stayton, Teach Us to Worship Coordinator, Committee on Discipleship Ministries, Presbyterian Church in America
