He made each of us unique and it is Him that assigns our identity.

Distorted Reflections

We hope these five devotions from Eugene Peterson take your mind and heart wherever they may go, as you never know what the Spirit will use to encourage or challenge or comfort.

A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.
