Books and Devotionals
God is omnipresent—meaning He's here, there, everywhere all at the same time—so no matter what you're going through today or worried about facing tomorrow, He is closer than you can imagine, and His presence changes everything.
Though we believe in our minds that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present, sometimes we don't feel his closeness. How can we walk boldly in our faith, expecting Him to draw near to us as we draw near to Him, as promised in the book of James? In Closer Than Your Next Breath, bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson helps readers experience God's trustworthiness and love—even when they feel far from Him. In this book, readers will explore these questions and more:
How do I know if I'm hearing the voice of God?
Is feeling good the same as feeling God?
Is there anything I can do when God seems silent?
How should God's presence impact me?
There's nothing like God's presence in our lives, but sometimes we chase the sensational and miss the supernatural. Worship services, retreats or conferences, and mountaintop experiences are great, but too often we rush right by the nuanced, miraculous ways God shows up in our story every day. When we pursue the heart of God through the Word of God, that's when we experience the presence of God—and it makes all the difference in our lives.
365 Days of Enduring Strength from Gods Word
Scripture is God's love letter to us. Every promise He makes, He keeps. Everything He asks of us, He redeems. Yet still, life is hard. Sometimes we drift from what's true and we let our guard down. We have a very real enemy who looks for such opportunities. But we serve a very real God who draws us back to himself time and time again. He's equipped us to prevail--to prove that our enemy will not conquer us. When this war is over, through Christ, we're the ones who'll still be standing.
In Prevail, Susie Larson guides you through the arc of the entire Word of God. Using powerful Scripture passages, thought-provoking questions, and practical steps for applying what you've learned, Susie offers 365 days' worth of opportunities for you to know God's Word, experience His presence, hear His voice, and do what He says so that you may finish your race faithfully and joyfully.

A Year-Long Journey toward Strength, Truth, and Courage
Do you ever feel like it's just too much? From grades and relationships to trying to figure out your future, the daily pressures and anxieties can often be a lot to handle. The enemy uses every trick up his sleeve to drag you down, but God is on your side. This book will take you through God's Word to give you the strength and courage to confidently walk with Jesus every step of the way.
Each day of the year you will explore powerful Scripture passages, encouraging teachings, thought-provoking questions, and practical steps for applying what you've learned. And little by little you'll find that you are flourishing in God's freedom, overcoming the enemy's lies, and discovering God's purpose and plan for you right where you are.
What you believe determines how well you'll fight. Your understanding of who God is and who you are in His Kingdom makes all the difference when the enemy attacks, whether he's coming after your health, your finances, your relationships, or anything else. And though it sometimes seems like the enemy is winning the day, God Himself will have the final word.
Strong in Battle is about how to gain victory in your hardships and overcome obstacles you face in this life. God is training your hands for battle and your dependence on Him is your superpower, leading to better discernment and more power, wisdom, and authority. Intimacy with God will lead to love overcoming fear, which will help you fight with more courage, joy, and strength.
The battle is real; you're not imagining it. And this book's practical battle strategies will help you arise victorious with a stronger sense of who you are and what you possess through Jesus Christ. So fear not--you're on the winning side.
What Happens in Our Soul Happens in Our Cells

· Replace defeating thoughts with redemptive ones
· Overcome stress and embrace God's peace
· Deal with the "I can'ts" embedded in our souls

The words we say and the things we pray matter to God and to our health. Where we rest our gaze and how we think about God directly impacts the condition of our souls. Proverbs 14:30 states, "A heart at peace gives life to the body." God is well able to restore and renew us even when culture swirls around us. The world needs healing. But we can't impart what we don't possess.
Scripture highlights the significance of 40 days as a kind of pilgrimage or spiritual journey toward a deeper dependence and reliance upon God. Science highlights how 40 days of practice (of a habit, a renewed thought, a healthy discipline, etc.) directly impacts our brain's structure and physiological health.
Join best-selling author, popular radio host, and Bible teacher Susie Larson on a 40-day pilgrimage to explore God's invitation to flourish, heal, and know His peace in a way that changes us forever. Through this journey, readers will discover how to:
Retrain their brains and renew their minds to notice God's goodness and to make that their default setting
Revive their faith by immersing in God’s promises, saying and praying them more than ever
Restore a right view of God's character based on His Word and stop drawing wrong conclusions about Him
Redeem their story and renew their strength by following the Healer
Do you still believe God is good? Do you believe He cares about the condition of your soul? And that He still answers prayer? Are you ready to position yourself on the path of His promises and see what He might do in and through you?
