Books by Matthew Ruttan

Life is full of turbulence. You''ve probably been through a storm, are in a storm, or are one phone call away from a storm. We all know it''s true. Like the abrupt, knock-you-around blasts of air that seem to randomly attack airplanes, life includes trials, troubles and tribulations which can shake you up and threaten your stability-or even your sanity.Assembled in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book brings together 150 daily devotionals meant to steady you through the storms of this short flight called life. They are readable, down-to-earth, and bite-sized daily doses of help and hope for people of faith, and for those who are just plain curious about who Jesus is and how his light can offer guidance-especially in a storm.
