Made to Shine is based on Jesus' instructions in Matthew 5:16 to reflect the light of Jesus in all that we do. Focusing on key Scriptures that associate light with the character and person of Christ, the ninety devotions in this uplifting volume are meant to empower women of faith to creatively carry His light wherever they go. They might be working women striving for excellence with intense deadlines, college students standing firm in their faith on a secular campus, or stay-at-home moms, sleepdeprived and living off of tea and toast. Each situation offers numerous opportunities to take Christ's light, not just into their going-to-work/school/church life, but into their everyday, ordinary, sleeping-and-eating, groceryshopping, coffee drinking life . . . and let it shine.
