During the pursuit of finding who we are in Jesus, we will hit roadblocks. We will encounter storms and trials, but there is strength found in Jesus, His written word, and His grace. As you pursue more of Him, He will leave you encouraged and strengthened, but we must be relentless in our pursuit. Our lives are like a race. A slow race, but one that requires us to be consistent and never give up. Galatians 6:9 says, "And let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up" (ESV). These devotionals will catapult you into a life of full surrender and leave you hungry for more of God's word. You will dive into reckless faith and gain understanding that you are a daughter of the King who has a mantle of great purpose on your life. The gifts and talents that God has given you will bring glory to Him and bring many others into the kingdom. Mandy Kenney is a registered nurse, wife, and mom to two beautifully energetic children.

When Yarn Bombing was first published in 2009, the idea that knitted and crocheted objects could be used as a political act of resistance was brand new. Ten years and thousands of public acts of yarnarchy later, the art of knit and crochet graffiti has entered the public zeitgeist, from the "pussyhat" making the cover of Time to OLEK's crocheted bull on Wall Street symbolizing The Great Recession: a cultural phenomenon that shows no sign of slowing down. Yarn bombing is an international guerrilla movement that started underground and is now embraced by crochet and knitting artists of all ages, nationalities, and genders. Its practitioners create stunning works of art out of yarn, then "donate" them to public spaces as part of a covert plan for world yarn domination, or fashion them into personal political statements. Yarn Bombing the book is a wildly colorful guide to covert textile street art around the world; it also includes over 20 amazing patterns, provides tips on how to be as stealthy as a ninja, demonstrates how to orchestrate a large-scale textile project, and offers revealing information necessary to design your own yarn graffiti tags. This tenth anniversary edition includes a new foreword by the authors and a new chapter that includes many infamous examples of yarn bombing over the past ten years. Subversive and beguiling, this new edition of Yarn Bombing demonstrates that the phenomenon of knit and crochet graffiti is more relevant than ever, especially in these troubled times.

"Smith's sage advice will aid Christians in recognizing the simple joys of practicing their faith."--Publishers WeeklyWestern culture is in a tailspin, and Christian faith is entangled in it: we do kingdom things in empire ways. Western approaches to faith leave us feeling depressed, doubting, anxious, and burned out. We know something is wrong with the way we do faith and church in the West, but we're so steeped in it that we don't know where to begin to break old habits.Popular pastor and speaker Mandy Smith invites us to be unfettered from the deeply ingrained habits of Western culture so we can do kingdom things in kingdom ways again. She explores how we can be transformed by new postures and habits that help us see God already at work in and around us. The way forward isn't more ideas, programs, and problem-solving but in Jesus's surprising invitation to the kingdom through childlikeness. Ultimately, rediscovering childlike habits is a way for us to remember how to be human.Unfettered helps us reimagine how to follow God with our whole selves again and join with God's mission in the world. Foreword by Walter Brueggemann.
