God’s comfort in our suffering

Twenty-one days · Seven movements
Gary W. Boyd, PhD · The Anchored Institute

A Dipper, with one difference

Volume I gives you thirty-one proverbs. Volume II gives you a year of praise. Open either one anywhere and be fed.

This volume is walked in order. Day Nine leans on Day Eight. Movement VI comes back and settles a question Movement III deliberately leaves open. Take them at whatever pace you have — but take them in sequence.

Ten minutes a day, at whichever of the three depths you have strength for.
