This 40 day devotional is like having your best friend draw alongside to comfort, support and inspire when the days are hard and your heart is hurt. Tracy is sympathetic, never condemns or judges, but seems to know exactly what you need to read and hear on any given day! She draws out helpful ideas from the Scripture verses, adds her own prophetic and reflective words, suggests prayers; and adds extra readings if you want to dig deeper or have the time. I particularly appreciated some of her poems and reflections. Her own personal story is sometimes woven into the daily (short) chapters and is also helpful. Whether or not you are in a desert experience right now, this book is recommended - and it's a good book to gift to someone else who is indeed going through a tough time. I had a pre-release copy and these are mine own experiences with the book.

First heard Marilyn Baker in the 1980’s I think. But not really listened to her music over recent decades. Loved this 3 CD set. It contains some of the songs I knew from that era, all of which are so encouraging. Delighted to be hearing songs she's written/performed since then. During this 2020 pandemic it's good to be reminded of God's unfailing grace to us. Warmly recommend this collection.

I love this book for so many reasons: 1. It's personal - it's filled with story after story of God's incredible love, both in Tracy's life, and the life of others. I especially love the story of Tracy running away from college, and how God meets her and provides for her. Wow! Amazing! (And the story of the little girl and bicycle!) 2. It's prophetic - Tracy writes with a real prophetic edge, interspersing the book with specific words for the reader. 3. It's practical - at the end of each section, there are pause and reflect questions, which lead the reader to experience God's love for themselves.
I was really moved reading this book, and am reading it for a second time now to really 'pause and reflect'. This book is for anyone and everyone - there's always more of God's love to experience.'pause and reflect'. This book is for anyone and everyone - there's always more of God's love to experience.

A fantastic book, which at times is very moving. It is written with honesty and courage and yet challenges the reader at the same time. I did not want it to end!

I was struggling with a migraine this morning and God dropped 'Rest in my love' and 'Nothing more important' into my mind which has led to a precious time spent listening to Him through Marilyn's songs.

A Faith filled gifted musician , Marilyn's Love for Jesus is declared through her worship songs . I've listened to Marilyn's music for 40 years and it's never ceased to encourage , comfort and strengthen me , she sings timeless truths from God's Word . I highly recommend this CD and ALL Marilyn Baker's other CDs , the lyrics and melodiousness of the songs are a 'Joy to my Heart !'
