18 days. That's all we had from that first night when we heard the prognosis of the surgeon: "It's cancer. All throughout her abdomen." After more tests, we were told "3 to 6 months, if we're lucky." But Judy Gossett was not "lucky" this time - and we had 18 days with her before she breathed her last on December 11, 2003. While the shock and heavy sorrow have faded somewhat in these past 10 years, there still remains a surreal nature to life because Judy - she of the huge personality, the enormous heart, the generous spirit, the wonderful sister who was only one year my senior - is gone from this life forever. In addition to serving as a tribute to Judy, I pray this book will help people who deal with the grief of losing a beloved person - a sister, a brother, a father, a mother, a wife, a husband, a child, a friend - and understand that the Body of Jesus Christ is often "the fellowship of suffering" and is a safe place to find comfort and understanding, to find purpose and meaning.

David was a humble man whom God raised to greatness, but what mattered more to him than the world's renown was God's opinion of him. He was not perfect but he loved and trusted God overwhelmingly, and that made him beloved of God. That is his very simple "secret of a happy life" - how many of us can say we have the same game plan for our lives?

After completing the "Through the New Testament In A Year" challenge in 2018, and successfully publishing all 12 books that encompass the "New Testament as a multi-volume devotional" ("The Bible According to Jeanne"), I looked at the Old Testament. I realized a thorough examination of these 39 books would take way longer than 12 months to accomplish; so I found a plan that permits chapter-by-chapter reading, plus a few chapters into Matthew to round off the year - over two years.

Jeanne Gossett Halsey's unique take on "Through the New Testament In A Year" comes to an exciting conclusion as she tackles the apocalyptic book of REVELATION, the 66th book of the Bible. You won't want to miss this one!

The study of God's Holy Word is a privilege. The opportunity to read deeply and connect our souls with His own heart is a necessary practice, a discipline, an essential that Christians of every age and experience should enjoy.
