Homespun Devotion

While growing up in the south in the mid-1900s, Linda Smock learned many phrases that were used to pass on wisdom. These colloquial sayings sometimes had roots in biblical principles, while others came from men such as Benjamin Franklin. Smock, a sinner saved by grace who desires to be a better disciple of Jesus, shares a collection of idioms used in daily conversations intended to help believers develop a closer relationship with God, to sense His guidance, and to see how he uses everyday events to help all of us grow in our walk with Him. Combined with biblical stories and principles that serve as guidance for living, Smock enhances the idioms with personal stories and provides examples from life on the farm as a child. Included are prayers created specifically to match each idiom. Homespun Devotion is a compilation of devotional idioms accompanied by scripture, prayers, and personal stories shared to help Christians live a better life while growing closer to God.
