Faith Words a division of Hachette Book Group released at the end of November 2017, Leigh Powers devotional, Renewed. It is a 40 day devotional for healing from Church hurt and for Loving Well in Ministry.

Ministry is a privilege but it can also be a painful experience. Unrealistic expectations, church conflict, forced resignation and struggles with burnout, loneliness and insecurity can make church feel more like a place of wounding than a place of healing. How can wounded leaders find the courage to reject bitterness and keep loving the church?

Renewed is a forty day devotional for women in ministry, ministry wives, and lay leaders who have been wounded by their congregations. You are not alone. God sees your pain. He knows your hurts.

Powers is passionate about helping women find hope and healing in God’s word. A pastor’s wife and mother of three with fifteen years of full-time ministry experience, she is a free lance writer, Bible study and devotional author and a graduate of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. She is a blogger regularly here and here.
