Abundant Grace

Description

From the creators of Crew + Co. comes a gorgeous 40-day devotional resource that will inspire reflection and encourage Christian creatives to make Scripture reading a daily practice in their lives.

Abundant Grace, the debut devotional from Crew + Co. founders Courtney and Will Kassner, invites creative believers to meditate on and engage with Scripture daily, with devotions that are accessible, beautifully designed, and deeply encouraging. Divided into three parts—Knowing God’s Grace, Trusting God’s Grace, and Showing God’s Grace—this forty-day devotional guides you in recognizing the small moments of grace around you and teaches you how to cultivate a grace-filled perspective in even the busiest lifestyle.

Each of the forty days pairs a full-color hand-lettered Bible verse with a thoughtful devotion that closes with either a prayer or a reflection question for helping you recognize how God’s grace works in your normal, everyday life.Will and Courtney Kassner are the owners and creators of Crew + Co., a small, faith-based business that focuses on encouraging families and believers with devotionals and gift products written by Will and designed by Courtney. They grew up in the Memphis area and now live close by in north Mississippi. Their three children, Crew, Grey, and Sutton, were the inspiration to start their business. When not at work, Will and Courtney love being outdoors with the kids, growing wildflowers, and camping.Introduction

Life has a funny way of always taking us by surprise. Seasons come and go and are filled with steady change. In a world of chaos, finding a constant can be one of our greatest obstacles. So what keeps us grounded when we are surrounded by so much uncertainty?

When we first started our business, Crew + Co, life was filled to the brim with unknowns. We didn’t know the future, but we were sure of one thing: We wanted our work to be a reflection of God’s goodness. Through the highs and lows, ups and downs, our journey as business owners has been an in-color picture of the chaos of life. More than that, though, it has been a reflection of God’s faithfulness.

All too often, we find ourselves overwhelmed or bogged down, drenched in the proverbial sweat of simply trying to get by. We get busy. We get tired. But all the while, God offers Himself to us, pouring out His goodness in the quiet moments of the morning and the busy moments of the afternoon. He is always near; we just have to take the time to see Him.

No one said life would be easy, but Jesus did remind us that He would not abandon us in it. He is our constant, our hope, and our joy. Though plenty of distractions will arise, we can always come back to the truth that He has overcome the world. When security seems to crumble like the last saltine cracker, we can always come back to His grace.

Abundant Grace is a forty-day journey of walking in the practical grace of God. Written with the daily grind in mind, these devotionals are designed to remind you of the one true constant: the hope we have in Christ. Each devotion ends with a space for reflection. Some close with questions to ponder, others with a prayer, and others with a prompt to dig into God’s Word. Whatever the activity, may each one bring you greater awareness of and dependence on God’s grace.

The hope of this book is to establish a routine and remembrance as you start each day. Even when we experience moments of feeling empty, we can set aside time throughout our day for moments to be filled because Jesus offers His grace in so many wonderful ways. We hope as you dive into this devotional and into His Word that you will see a new side of God’s grace, waiting at the ready to fill your heart and refresh your soul.

Let’s commit to slowing things down. To being intentional. To walking with Jesus over the next forty days, and to seeing how He leads us into His abundant grace.CN
