Made New: 52 Devotions for Catholic Women

We have to remember Whose we are, and in that, we settle into the truth of who we are. We are made new in Christ Jesus. We are brand new creations ready to do His will and His alone. Let’s unpack our identity as children of God and see how these realizations change everything.

We wrote this book on identity to nestle in deeper to our identity in God, to examine ten unique time periods in our five writers’ lives, and breathe these truths deeply. Their heart-hurts, their lessons sorted out in the nooks and crannies of their families and friends, their unseen growth and hidden triumphs in various circumstances assure the reader that she, too, is safe to tuck into God’s arms for courage and comfort.

Five themes about identity explored include:

beheld // dispelling the myth of our value being contingent on external accomplishments // we find our worth in God’s love for us
belong // dispelling the myth of the approval of others dictating our being seen // we belong to God’s family
beloved // dispelling the myth of our lovability being contingent on how others treat us // we are unconditionally loved by God
believing // dispelling the myth of being unseen or unsuccessful except by the world’s standards // we find ourselves in our faith in God
becoming // dispelling the myth that your success comes from the world’s view of you // God asks you to follow His plan for your life to become the saint He’s desiring you to be

Dedicate the next 52 weeks to God, to being His, and to knowing yourself more fully as His very own.
