"This Devotional Book provides a scheme--hymns, prayers, Bible Reading and Theological Study--for a period of thirty-one days, a month of days. It was developed from the daily morning devotional practices of my late husband, George, and myself. . . . [It] has proven to be a source of strength and joy for me, and I pray it will assist you in your spiritual growth." --from the Prologue Helen M. Kraus developed this devotional with her late husband, George Kraus--a pastor for forty years and a teacher in the Pastoral Ministry Department at Concordia Theological Seminary, Ft. Wayne, Indiana. She has also worked as a teacher in Lutheran schools in Texas and New York City, and currently resides in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. She is a member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Gorham, Maine.
