What could be better than partnering with someone who can give us the how-tos of life in this modern age? What if this person had all the remedies to the modern ills of society, and what if this person could be the voice of wisdom we need to silence the maelstrom of noises vying for our attention? Thankfully, we can keep company with our omnipotent God, who is just the person we need to guide us. In 40 Days in His Presence, author Beverly Williams invites all who are genuinely interested in capturing the wisdom of God to spend time with him daily in prayer, thanksgiving, and reflection. In a society full of quick fixes, we can instead find the real solution to lifes everyday challenges in the holy words of our consummate counselor, God. Gods Word, the Bible, can equip you to face and conquer those little foxes with confidence as you go about your day. And although social media and even your peers will tell you that anything goes in this day and age, only the timeless wisdom of God and his direction will give you the peace of mind, joy, and fulfilment that you seek. I am excited to write this for Beverlys first book, a powerful devotional that I know will bless readers and help them grow in maturity and power as they walk with the Lord.

"Why do you hold back?" Enneagram Nines are often asked questions like this by others who want to invite them to share their gifts. Marlena Graves describes her own experience with deciding whether to speak up: "I know what it's like to be run over and rendered invisible. I don't want to do the same to others." Nines are easy to be around because they seem to instinctively put others before themselves. In these readings Marlena reflects on what it's like to be a Nine with a spirit of honest self-assessment and a desire for personal and spiritual growth. She draws wisdom from the deep wells of both counseling and spirituality, using illustrations from Scripture and life. She writes out of her personal context, drawing on the lessons learned from her Puerto Rican Abuelita and from growing up in poverty. But she also writes for all of us. Each reading concludes with an opportunity for further engagement such as a journaling prompt, reflection questions, a written prayer, or a spiritual practice. Any of us can find aspects of ourselves in any of the numbers. The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so whether or not you are a Nine, you will grow from your reading about Nines and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram spectrum.
