A caring pastor and author meets with you daily in this collection of 261 inspiring devotions. Dr. George O. Wood examines the Book of Mark while providing a Scripture passage and prayer for each day. Wood is an engaging storyteller who shares an upbeat mini-story or vignette every day. For example, one day's reading introduces the first grocery store owner to offer grocery carts for customers. It took time for people to accept this helpful new idea, since they had always carried everything themselves. Dr. Wood explains that our Savior does something similar for us. We tend to carry more burdens than necessary, so the Lord reaches out and says, 'Let Me do it for you.'
