🔆Sacred Belonging: A 40-Day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture
Kat Armas wrote a devotional and I can't wait to tell you about it!
Hello!
I have the lovely pleasure of dropping into your inboxes on this particular Tuesday to tell you all about
and her new book, Sacred Belonging: A 40-Day Devotional on the Liberating Heart of Scripture, that comes out exactly one week from today!I’ve spotlighted Kat Armas here in this newsletter before because I loved her first work, Abuelita Faith, which was released in 2021. Kat writes in such a beautiful and meaningful way, so I was thrilled to hear that she was releasing more of her words out into the wild.
Kat’s new book, Sacred Belonging is a forty-day devotional centered around the concept that reading the Bible with a fresh perspective allows us to experience God in different and exciting ways.
If you are cringing at the fact that this book is a devotional, please rest assured that I can relate to those feelings of PTSD. But trust me, this book is very different!
One of the things that makes Kat and her writing stand apart from other authors is her commitment to challenge readers with a diverse perspective. As a Cuban American, she offers a unique viewpoint that brings life to biblical teaching in an extremely powerful way. In this devotional, through her own personal narrative and Scripture, Kat focuses on different passages that center around the topics of creation, wisdom, spirit, the body, and the feminine. (So not your typical forty-day devotional topics by any stretch of the imagination. And I love it!)
If you have been in this space long enough, you know we talk quite a bit about deconstructing and throwing out some of our old, outdated beliefs, especially ones that diminish the presence and importance of people of color and women. The goal, especially in any period of healing or a time of faith crisis, is to continue to ask questions and learn about the Bible, maybe even taking a different perspective than the one we grew up with. Sacred Belonging does just that, giving readers an opportunity to feel more free and empowered in their beliefs, yet also connected to the elements around them.
This book is both refreshing and inspiring to anyone who might have experienced questions in their faith and a longing for something deeper. It will officially be available in one week (September 12), but you can go ahead and secure your copy via a pre-order at this link for a discount! You can also order through one of your favorite booksellers below:
Sacred Belonging helps us see how the Bible directs us to live a more liberated faith. I hope you find freedom as you walk through this guided devotional, and feel a sense of belonging as a result of your journey.
Currently working through Kat’s book and wanted to say thanks for the recommendation! What a blessing.
Ohhhh I'm just so grateful for you!
