“He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The light of His righteousness
And wonders of His love…”

Hello Danielle! Thank you for curating this list! I have a favor to ask: Would it be possible to create a free printable version of all the devotionals? Kind of like a booklet? Or maybe just a “print this article” button on each devo page? I would love to have them printed off to read as part of my Christmas reading. 🙂
