Everyday Holy

Every Day Holy is a new devotional from Melanie Shankle.  This book is my first experience with Melanie’s writings.  It is not quite what one would expect from a devotional; however, it is an interesting read.

Melanie shares about her experiences with God, in more of an out of the box approach than a traditional devotional would.

Hold on as the author will lead you in a fresh way of connecting with your Heavenly Father!
