In his helpful devotional guide, Nurture Faith: Five Minute Meditations to Strengthen Your Walk with Christ, Doug Hood invites us to join him in the spiritual disciplines that have made him an exemplary pastor, preacher, husband and father. If we will assimilate the spiritual disciplines of scripture, meditation, and prayer into our daily routine, we will grow in our faith in Jesus Christ. But watch out...these devotionals might just change your life...as they are changing mine!"(Rev. Dr. Thomas K. Tewell, Former Executive Director, Macedonian Ministry)Nurture Faith: Five Minute Meditations to Strengthen Your Walk with Christ by Doug Hood provides a meaningful resource for people of faith as it blends Biblical passages with experiences of today, resulting in a meditation guide as well as a self-help manual. By consistently relating God's word with current examples, Dr. Hood has revealed his own struggles in being faithful while providing insight into possible responses to temptations and challenges which impact all Christians in one way or another on their faith journey.(Heath Rada, Moderator, 2014 General Assembly Presbyterian Church USA.)For those who want accessible, practical, and challenging wisdom to grow in faith and understanding of the Christian life, I can think of no better daily diet than Pastor Hood's devotionals. One hundred percent organic--distilled from years of faithful service in the trenches of real life.(Bruce Main, President/Founder, UrbanPromise Ministries)Fear, anxiety, doubt, brokenness, discouragement and desperation; courage, confidence and hope - these are emotions each of us experience; emotions of the heart and soul. Here, in these meditations, Doug Hood addresses each experience in a simple, direct and comforting manner, with scripture as his foundation and a brief prayer to close. I am grateful for this collection of meditations which nurture my faith each day. Gathered here are reflections for the faithful and for those who seek more from their walk with Christ.(John Randolph, Attorney, West Palm Beach, Florida)Here is a word for everyone seeking encouragement, but particularly helpful for those inside the church - pastors, educators, lay leaders, members. In brief meditations, Doug Hood artfully connects God's Word to our daily experiences. Insightful, articulate and inspirational, Dr. Hood's pastor's heart and active personal faith shine through brightly.(Daniel W. Klein, Irving, Texas, Retired President, Texas Presbyterian Foundation, and now a Church Consultant)With countless options for devotionals in bookstores, it can be a challenge to pick out the ones that are theologically sound, relevant and fresh. I have found that wonderful mix in Nurture Faith: Five Minute Meditations to Strengthen Your Walk with Christ. In every meditation, Dr. Hood offers timely and honest insight to the words of Scripture and offers encouragement for followers of Christ. This book is filled with inspiring words of faith and grace for small group studies, in church committee meetings, and for individual devotional time.
