A dedication to prayer, a pastoral heart, and a love for Scripture come together in this collection of devotions. Originally written for congregation members during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, these devotions explore every facet of Scripture from the Wisdom writings to the Revelation of St. John. Composed for daily use, they follow the liturgical calendar, beginning in the season of Lent, when the pandemic first exploded in the Midwest, and continue through the following Epiphany season, one year later. Each day’s devotion includes a substantial portion of Scripture, a brief reflection, and a prayer. It is the hope of the author, an active Lutheran pastor, that all who feel ‘quarantined, ‘ whether in a pandemic or not, might find comfort, encouragement, and wisdom in these devotions.
