Our Women of Grace Writers knew we were being led by God to write a devotional, but some of our thoughts seemed to sound so superficial. However, after much prayer we found our motivation in the addendum to the book "Max on Life," by the renowned Christian author Max Lucado. Max says: "…John was God's revealer. So John wrote.
