Introducing the new “TAP Into God<\/em>” Devotional Series<\/h4>\n

The TAP Into God Devotional series<\/strong> is designed to help you centre your life in God, one day at a time. These devotionals are not about rushing toward answers, but about learning to become attentive\u2014to God\u2019s presence, God\u2019s movement, and God\u2019s grace in the midst of everyday life.<\/p>\n

Each devotional considers a short passage of Scripture then follows the same simple and intentional rhythm:
\na Thought<\/strong> to guide reflection,
\nan Action<\/strong> to embody faith in lived experience, and
\na Prayer<\/strong> to draw you gently into God\u2019s presence.
\nTogether, these elements invite you to move beyond reading about faith and into practicing it through the shape the TAP into God rhythm.<\/p>\n

Every book in the series offers 40 daily invitations<\/strong> into deeper awareness of God. This rhythm echoes the biblical pattern of formation that unfolds over time\u2014through patience, honesty, and trust rather than pressure or perfection.<\/p>\n

The TAP Into God Devotionals<\/strong> are written for real life: for seasons of clarity and confusion, strength and weariness, joy and waiting. They are meant to be companionable rather than demanding, offering space to reflect, respond, and rest in God.<\/p>\n

Books in this series include:<\/p>\n

We are delighted to announce Greg Boyd’s endorsement of “LOVE Theology”.<\/p>\n

In his words…<\/p>\n

“<\/i><\/b>Love Theology<\/i><\/strong> is a profoundly accessible, insightful, and practically grounded exploration of the transformative power of placing God\u2019s love at the very heart of theological thought. With compelling clarity, Hight reframes how we understand salvation, the significance of Christ\u2019s death on the cross, the essence of God\u2019s judgments, Christian ethics, and countless other facets of faith. I wholeheartedly recommend Love Theology<\/i><\/strong> to anyone yearning to be captivated and forever changed by the boundless, unfathomable love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

– Greg Boyd, Senior Pastor, Woodland Hills Church, and author of God Looks Like Jesus <\/i>(Herald, 2025)<\/p>\n
