The world does not define woman’s beauty and value; the Word does! Only in the mirror of God’s Word, do we see our true identity. No matter what we are facing today, we are God’s Beloved Daughters (1 John 3:1), Precious Creations (Psalm 139:13-16), and our bodies are His Holy Temples (1 Corinthians 6:19). Even more, God gives us the purpose of being His Shining Stars (Phil 2:15-16) and Chosen Ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20) in a lost and hurting world. In the reflection of who He is, we see who we are? This quality charm bracelet features a special image to represent each these God-given identities and includes a special card featuring each identity and coordinating verse! The Identity Bracelet

Daily Devotions


Every day, 900,000 people in 120 countries take five minutes out of their day to open their copy of Portals of Prayer and read a quick devotion. In fact, during the last 75 years the daily devotion has not only been a staple product at Concordia Publishing House (CPH), but it has also become a favorite in households around the world. Since 1937, readers have enjoyed the brief, powerful devotions written by authors including Synod presidents, pastors, professors, and laypeople. Each one features a Bible reading, meditation, and prayer in an easy-to-read format.

To celebrate the diamond anniversary of Portals in Lent 2012, Concordia Publishing House has released a commemorative book called Daily Devotions. Each day of the year features a devotion taken from one of the past 75 years of Portals; plus, there are twenty extra “special occasion” devotions included for times such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Transfiguration, etc. Great for gift giving, this high-quality devotional book features a ribbon book marker and can be purchased at cph.org or by calling 1-800-325-3040.

“Kinnaman selected many of the passages based on significant dates in history such as events of World War II, the Challenger disaster, and September 11th. This gives Daily Devotions a historical feeling. At the bottom of each page is a note that tells the date the devotion originally appeared.cph.org
