Restore Your Soul With Seven Days of Prayer
When you pray, do you find yourself distracted or just offering up a laundry list of requests? Because of time constraints, do you just list the people who you think need prayer without digging in and praying for specific needs?
With all of the blessings and needs we are aware of, our prayer lives can be overwhelming. But they don’t have to be. This devotional is designed to help you organize your prayers into daily segments and bite size reminders of who and what to pray for on any given day. There are no magic words to get your prayers answered just an invitation to communicate with our Heavenly Father.
This book combines fourteen practical reflections on prayer with a guide to developing your own prayer strategies and space to journal as you bring your requests to the throne of God.
A Girl Who Wanted to Be a Princess
From a very young age, I knew that I loved Jesus, but it was my sweet kindergarten Sunday School teacher who told me about giving my heart to Him. While I have never doubted His love for me, I have struggled with pride, with shame and guilt, and with a feeling that I was on my own.
Fortunately, The Holy Spirit was given to us to be a helper and guide in all things. He has never left me or forsaken me. He has become my King, my Father, and my friend.
This story is my testimony of God’s grace in my life and the journey I have been on as an adopted daughter of The King, written as a fairytale, but, in reality, is a true narrative.
With each truth from my life there is an accompanying verse to help further explain and guide discussions with your own children, grandchildren, or students as you read this story to them.
Teapots and Power Tools
Power tools are useless unless they are connected to the power source. They may work as a doorstop or a hammer, but unless they are plugged in, they cannot be used for their intended purposes. We are like those tools. We may fill a need here or there; we may have a seemingly meaningful job or life, but unless we are connected to the ultimate power source, our potential is quite limited.
While He has equipped us to be a power tool, He also knows when we need to rest. God cherishes the times when we just sit and have tea with Him. It may represent a time of the day, such as our quiet time, or it may be a season in our life, such as unemployment, retirement, or even illnesses. These are the times when He makes himself real to us because we can “Be still and know that He is God.”

What people are saying about “Teapots and Power Tools”
“I love Keri’s writing style – gently telling stories of God humbling her and teaching her things, and always taking it back to Scripture. The chapters are like a phone call from a friend when you need help getting your eyes off yourself and remembering that God is a good Father.”
“As somewhat of a “handywoman” myself, I found so many things to smile about while working my way through this devotional. I appreciate the approach the author uses of relating Biblical principles to things I can relate to, because now when I reach for super glue or enjoy tea with friends, I am reminded to check my spiritual life. Am I overdoing it? Am I utilizing the right tools? Am I making sure I’m refilling my cup? I find this approach stays with me longer than a simple Scripture study. So so good.”
Mission Hills Mystery
Keri and Marie go on a bike riding adventure at the La Purisima Mission. They just wanted to play and snoop around the ancient grounds, but they discover friendship and life-long lessons from the history of the Chumash people and the years they spent living and working at the mission. You will have fun going on an adventure with the girls while learning about the La Purisima Mission.
This story was born out of my own childhood adventures and my experience teaching 4th grade. Most California 4h graders study California history and need to do a report on one of the 21 missions which were used to “settle” California.
While the story is not overtly a Christian tale, it contains many spiritual and biblical truths which will help children and adults alike understand forgiveness and learning from the past.
