Devotional Scripture Index

The Daily Search for Wondrous Things is a devotional series of books written by Jason Hardin designed to give you a daily dose of fuel for your journey as a disciple of Jesus. Each volume provides three months’ worth of practical encouragement with reflections that flow in a simple pattern:

  • Sundays: from the Psalms
