"Kevin Harney shows us that true strength comes in God's presence. When we feel weak, inadequate, disparaged, and powerless, God is ready, willing, and anxiously waiting to empower us. A fantastic read for daily meditation."--Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker; lead pastor, National Community Church, Washington, DC
