Our chaotic world often compels us to cry out to God for help and plead for change. Join Taylor Turkington, author of "Trembling Faith," in this five-day devotional inviting you to pray alongside the distressed prophet Habakkuk as you survey the brokenness in your own experiences. It also encourages you to place your faith in God who loves justice and has promised all will be eventually made right when Jesus returns to rule and reign forever.

Sometimes it seems like God is failing. The same was true for those first disciples too. This 5-day plan will take you through a time when it looked like God’s kingdom promises just weren’t coming true, through the lens of Acts 12. It continues our journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

For me, one of the most fascinating areas to explore when I was writing Seeing the Supernatural was the existence of angels. I wanted to go far beyond cartoon depictions to delve into the most important questions about angelic beings. What are they, exactly? What are they capable of doing? How do they interact with us? How can they encourage us in our faith? That’s the subject of this five-day reading plan. It’s a journey through the biblical evidence for celestial spirits and their impact on us. —Lee Strobel
