The Gospel Challenge Devotional
It is one thing for believers to know the Gospel of Jesus, but how many truly understand and incorporate it into their everyday lives? This hurdle has proved to be a challenge as many in today’s world rely heavily, if not solely on the clergy to share the Gospel. Jesus’s life-giving message is not only meant to be spoken; it must be present in the actions of those who have embraced it, as well.
We as believers must overcome this hurdle by challenging ourselves to fill our lives with the Gospel, and Damian L. Boyd has returned to help eager Jesus followers overcome in the second of his Challenge Devotional series, The Gospel Challenge Devotional. This thirty-nine-day challenge provides practical steps to incorporate biblical principles through daily teachings of the Gospel from the Old and New Testament as well as challenges that offer daily steps toward becoming doers and hearers of the Word.
With the end of this challenge comes a better understanding of living a life based on the Gospel’s message, ministry, and the meaning of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. Believers will have a clearer way to communicate this powerful message effectively as the message and lifestyle of the Gospel are, at last, aligned.
The Hope Challenge Devotional
Suffering is unfortunately something we must endure in this life, even as the children of God. Adversity comes in all forms, from minor disappointment to major hardship, and no one is spared from it.
Hardship was also part of author Damian’s upbringing, growing up dealing with poverty, homelessness, and a father who wasn’t there. Such situations could have anyone bitter about life and God. Even as a father he must continually wrestle with discouragement while raising a son with complex medical needs who requires full assistance for daily living.
However, as he demonstrates in his new devotional, The Hope Challenge Devotional, suffering can actually lead to spiritual growth in a person, if he or she sees that God is there and leading them through the trial. This was made evident to him through the creation of this devotional, which he calls a “culmination of prayers, tears, lessons, and a refusal to give up.”
With the fifty days of devotional messages, Damian offers keen insight into ways the Bible shows us how to be uplifted in the midst of difficulties. Readers will see how we should view pain in ourselves and others, why it is important to learn from our mistakes, and the all-important understanding of why forgiveness is necessary, among other topics.
Daily challenges are combined with the messages to prompt readers to take practical steps in putting theological understanding into their circumstances.
Through this devotional, readers will find encouragement and renewal in their hope in God to help them overcome life’s circumstances.

In Search of Beantiful
God is the ultimate creator. His hand can be seen everywhere. Many people, especially today in our non-stop world, search for God frantically and anywhere, yet do not realize that He is all around us. We lose Him in the busyness, in the crowds, in the media, in the distractions, and even in the faces of others created in His image. Everything we see in our natural world that delights and inspires comes from the same source: God. He in the nature that surrounds us. He is in the people who walk by us every day. He is everywhere—we need only look.
Through his book, author Damian L. Boyd helps to open our eyes to see God in everything and how we worship Him by recognizing that beauty. He is beauty incarnate, and so all things that come from Him are beautiful. When we get small moments of recognition of His presence around us, we are drawn back to the pursuit that first caught our eye. The more we see the Lord, the more we want Him!
This is a worship book without using the obvious tool, music, for worship. We have come to depend on music heavily in our twenty-first century world. Instead, we can worship the Lord by noticing and appreciating the beauty He has instilled in the world. Do not let society’s conditioning diminish your knowledge of the Lord and His wonderous creations. Do not let society’s standard of beauty ruin your ability to see the amazing originality that comes from the flaws of another. Remember, we are all created in the Lord’s perfect image.
Learn to see the beauty in brokenness. Discover how to recognize the good in evil. Dive in and gain the perspective to see God in everything. He is around us and with us always.
College Impact
Many collegiate Christians view college as an opportunity to create a new identity and be separate from the things that were “holding them back”. Sadly, this often means walking away from a vibrant, personal relationship with Christ and anything that has to do with the Christian faith. The same wonderful youth group kids become total pagans by their senior year of college. Young believers are sometimes so hungry for worldly experiences, freedom from their parents, and freedom from the rigor of their faith that they gorge on the world’s philosophies. And its poisons kill them. Some statistics have the number of church kids that abandon the faith at over 80%. That is both a frightening and heartbreaking thought.
In College Impact, Damian Boyd, a seasoned leader in campus ministry, outlines how college Christians can better use and leverage their influence to impact their campuses for Jesus. This book is a guide for students to remain focused when issues challenge their stance for Christ and not become brash, arrogant, or so dogmatic that they chase people away before ever getting a chance to share this glorious good news. It is the author’s intention that after reading this book, college believers would be empowered to strategically fulfill the Great Commission on their campus.
This book also highlights practical leadership strategy that could revolutionize the campus and ignite a spiritual awakening. Without Christ as the essential driving passion, then all Christian students have, at best, are gimmicks. This passion is that vitally important. It’s all about looking at how the college believer can leverage one’s life in such a way that people have the opportunity to follow as he or she follows Christ. This book challenges collegiate leaders to be a voice for God and to be in the best place, where they can have the most opportunities, to get the greatest chance to communicate the greatest message.
We are a part of the New Testament church. The Great Commission has no expiration date. We are to take the message of Jesus to the world. College students have an awesome opportunity to touch lives for Jesus. It’s imperative that they not waste one moment God has given them. They must choose to see their collegiate experience as an assignment, not just a circumstance.
