But even though the Bible may not address this trial specifically, you can still look to God’s Word for wisdom, truth, and healing from the eating disorders you are battling.

The Bible tells a lot about the Lord Jesus. There are four Bible books devoted to His life, and later letters often describe Him as well. But even before the Lord Jesus was born, prophets wrote about Him. This reading plan is about a prophecy by Isaiah that tells us how special Jesus is.

In a world that often feels cold, chaotic, and distant, this study brings us back to what our hearts long for most—a Savior who draws near. From the cradle to the cross to the promise of His return, Jesus has always come close. Not to condemn but to rescue. Not to remain distant but to dwell with us. In this Bible study, you’ll journey through key passages of Scripture that reveal the nearness of Christ at His birth, in His mission to save sinners, through His sacrifice on the cross, and in the hope of His glorious return.

During the holiday season, Christmas carols are everywhere. They play on the radio, in grocery stores, on television shows and movies, and on social media. It makes sense, then, that we should look at these carols. What are the stories behind them? What scriptural truths do they hold? Do they conflict with the Bible? This seven-day study will answer those questions and acquaint you with some of Christianity’s most beloved songs.

This seven-day devotional is born out of the author’s own life—moments of joy, pain, and grace—showing how God’s presence is real in the everyday. The main idea is that Christmas isn’t just a once-a-year event, but a spiritual truth to live every day, because Emmanuel (“God with us”) didn’t stay in Bethlehem: He continues to walk beside us in our ordinary moments. The hope is that readers won’t just remember the Christmas story, but relive it, finding Jesus in hardship, light, peace, and joy, recognizing that His presence is still with them.
