Close Calls
A Lifeline To Jesus
A new eighty day story devotional that warms your heart and will cause you to become closer to the Father.
Often with a humorous angle on life’s lessons, the author alludes to keeping our relationship with Jesus simple, while promoting a deep allegiance to Christ. Close Calls brings you into a devoutly intimate walk with Jesus Christ as He whispers, “Follow Me.”
Different from many devotional books, you’ll discover a new take on life themes such as joy, pain, fear, redemption, innocence, life in Christ, and more.
What People Say
Deborah. M
Durwood writes straight from the heart.
“Compelling read, I was crying at the end of the first devotion. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me this year as I continue each day with this well written devotional..”
- N. Olson
From Japan “Close Calls” comes highly recommended
“It’s a simple-to-read, one-day-at-a-time, devotional . . . but not like the usual devotional that gives the reader advice on how to solve a problem. Author, Durwood Smith told us”, “Close Calls is an open-ended devotional that doesn’t give advice on how to solve a problem, but after reading each entry actually allows the reader to make choices and decisions.”
- Byron. P
GREAT READ
“Fantastic devotional. Showing how his everyday interactions and experiences reminded him of God’s word to us. Excellent read, I think you’ll find you want to read more than one a day.”
- R. Rosenkranz
Great Devotional!
“This is a great devotional. The author has a knack for sharing personal vignettes and life experiences in an easy manner, then leaving the reader with a brief, sometimes very profound, thought or question. I immediately passed the book I originally purchased for myself to someone who I thought would love it (and they DO) and will buy another copy for myself and maybe even one or two for others who I think will enjoy Durwood Smith’s devotional style.”
- Richard. E
Great encouraging book from a great man
“What a great book. I have loved every single devotion as it relates to my life and my family. So many personal words just cannot say enough about the book and the man I call my friend.”
- J. Connelly
Excellent read!
“Every page is filled with insight and wisdom for connecting everyday occurrences with our relationship with God. Many times I just couldn’t put this book down, as it spoke directly to my walk with Jesus. Such a great devotional.”
