Summary

Whether it’s a dream that isn’t coming true， a stretch of the journey that feels especially dark， or just the basic “busy and tired” each of us braves in the crazy chaos of the ordinary， have you ever faced a season where “life to the full” feels just out of reach， light seems like it it’s just over the horizon， or lies seem to crowd out the truth？
 
If you’re anything like Ellie Holcomb， the answer is yes。 For her in these seasons， God’s Word has been a shelter， a comfort， a song， a balm， and an anchor。 Ultimately， it’s been a light that has helped kick back at the darkness of the lies we so often believe。 In her debut devotional， Fighting Words， you are invited to come alongside Ellie， as you ponder the power of God’s promises together and speak them into the darkest corners of your soul。 
 
Filled with encouraging and honest reflections， beautifully designed Scripture memory pages， and wonderful questions to help you process， Fighting Words is a place where you can wrestle， respond to， and take hold of precious truths in God's Word to help you push back the lies that so often consume， distract， and destroy us。 
  
God's Word is alive。 In this devotional， Ellie invites you to steep your soul in the living Word， take hold of it， wrestle with it， bury it in your heart， and watch as it brings about life and flourishing。 As you journey along with Ellie， you’ll find that little by little， you're fighting the lies with the truth， kicking back the darkness， and living in the light。

First sentence （from the introduction）: There are some stories that change your life。 This is one of them for me。In Fighting Words， Ellie Holcomb invites fellow sojourners to join her on a 100 day journey of "anchoring down in the promises of God。" Each entry begins with sharing a Scripture。 Sometimes the Scripture is a single verse （packed with treasure）; sometimes the Scripture is a longer passage of Scripture （packed with treasure）。 After starting with Scripture， Holcomb shares her reflection First sentence （from the introduction）: There are some stories that change your life。 This is one of them for me。In Fighting Words， Ellie Holcomb invites fellow sojourners to join her on a 100 day journey of "anchoring down in the promises of God。" Each entry begins with sharing a Scripture。 Sometimes the Scripture is a single verse （packed with treasure）; sometimes the Scripture is a longer passage of Scripture （packed with treasure）。 After starting with Scripture， Holcomb shares her reflection on the passage。 That reflection may include: a personal story， a lyric she's written， a lesson or reminder。 Entries include a couple questions designed to probe readers to make a connection of their own with the Scripture in question。 Entries conclude with a prayer。 Day one's Scripture is Philippians 4:4-7。 The probing questions include， "What circumstances in your life make it difficult to "rejoice always"？" and "Have you ever experienced a peace or nearness from God that was unexplainable to your friends and family？ What was that like？" She chooses promises from the Old Testament and the New Testament。 A good blend of both in my opinion。Devotionals aren't usually anything I would choose to read on my own。 I do try to review devotionals for the blog （now and then） so that I can share good ones when I find them。 I do like that she shares the Scripture， the actual Scripture。 As opposed to sharing just the Scripture reference。 Readers may still choose to be a cheater pants and skim the Scripture， but one can't use the excuse "I was too busy to look it up" or "my Bible wasn't handy。" It's right on the page， and you've got the opportunity to read it yourself。 The verses shared are good ones。 These are verses that I'm familiar with and that I already have a connection with （most of the time at least）。 Some entries give readers behind the scenes glimpses into her creative song writing process。 Being a fan （for the most part） of her albums （I， of course， have my favorites）， I liked seeing the stories behind some of my favorite songs。 I do think the book does its best to point the way to Jesus and to keep pointing the way to Jesus。 If it ever fails， I don't think it's because the intent changed。 I think as readers we're just human and easily distracted and full of self。 。。。more

Destiny ，

I really enjoyed this book！ It is broken up into 100 sections ideally to be read over 100 days。 Each section highlights one "fighter verse" and then has a page or two with a short devotional that ends with a few questions and a prayer。Not only is the cover beautiful， but there are beautifully illustrated verses inside as well as pages left blank for notes。This book would make a great gift and would be a perfect coffee table / nightstand book。Thanks to Netgalley and B&H Publishing Group I was abl I really enjoyed this book！ It is broken up into 100 sections ideally to be read over 100 days。 Each section highlights one "fighter verse" and then has a page or two with a short devotional that ends with a few questions and a prayer。Not only is the cover beautiful， but there are beautifully illustrated verses inside as well as pages left blank for notes。This book would make a great gift and would be a perfect coffee table / nightstand book。Thanks to Netgalley and B&H Publishing Group I was able to read this book before it was released。 It will be available on Oct 15， 2021 for purchase。 。。。more

Trisha ，

This book will allow you help you spend 100 days “Anchoring yourself down in the promises of God！” You will daily look at the 3 P’s well technically 4 : Promises， Process & Pray， and Permanence！ You have space to journal every now and again which is huge to be able to process。 I do like the format。 I felt daily journaling pages would be useful but you could always use a separate journal。
