Genesis 38:28

Vance K. Jackson leads readers through the cycle-breaking birth of Perez. This leadership devotional was designed to unpack uncommon wisdom and leadership principles, learned throughout the life of Tamar and in the birth of Perez — “the cycle breaker”. As you read this cycle-breaking devotional, let God lead your heart and allow Him to break the paralytic effects of generational stagnation from off of your life forever.

Tamar was traumatized, abused, rejected, and she committed incest. Yet, God saw it fit to have her in Jesus’ lineage. As one who speaks to the intergenerational transmission of trauma, Temi Michael-O shares the story of Tamar through the lens of trauma and the redemptive power of grace. This four- day plan reminds us that we matter to God and God is not ashamed of our story.

Women bring the present at Christmas. They cook, buy gifts, create crafts, plan parties, coordinate outfits….make MAGIC, and this year will be no different. This devotional is a walk through a few of the women involved in the family line of Christ and his birth. These women faced a myriad of obstacles, but in the end, they brought the most beautiful gift to the world--the presence of Jesus Christ.

Join us in praying for peace in our hearts and our nation with this 7-day reading plan featuring prayers from The One Year Pray for America Bible.
