Synopsis

An imaginative and gently challenging series of forty-nine reflections on seven biblical themes, from creation to the churches of Revelation, written in Emily Owen's unique interactive style. In this inspirational devotional, Emily Owen weaves together biblical reflections, prayer, personal stories, with a creative 'voice' of God, which all gently steer the reader into a closer walk with Jesus. The Power of Seven encourages us to look afresh at some of the themes of seven in the Bible. Creation, who God is, God as shepherd, the 'I AM's of the Bible, the last words of Jesus from the cross, and what we add to our faith (Goodness, Perseverance etc) are examined, with the book ending with a powerful section on Jesus speaking to the Revelation churches, beautifully and sensitively written in a fresh and engaging way. Emily combines devotions with personal stories whilst always pointing to Jesus in her usual gentle, thoughtful yet very powerful way. The voice of Jesus as Emily imagines it in this book is powerful, the prayers are helpful, and Emily's unique reflective and interactive style helps the reader to come into the presence of God.

Media Reviews
I love the realism and down to earth approach of this book. It is truly an example of 'where rubber meets the road'. Emily has learned how to lean on God in the hard times and what she shares from her personal experiences is very inspiring. Marilyn Baker, singer / songwriter and Director, MBM Trust The Power of Seven in seven words - personal, biblical, moving , challenging, compassionate, inspiring and powerful. Yet seven words are not enough to describe this beautiful devotional. Written from Emily Owen's passionate heart, it stirred my own. The Power of Seven reminded me of who I am in Christ, and more importantly, who Christ is in me. Take care - this potent little gem will grab your heart and may even change your life. Catherine Campbell, author Whenever I recall meeting and teaching alongside Emily Owen, I can only say, Thank you, God, for this precious woman! Emily has a powerful message of overcoming great obstacles, lives a daily life of joyful devotion to our Lord and exudes a passion for god's Word and for passing on its truths to others. Elizabeth George, author Emily invites us into a profound conversation with God, helping us to see him in the minutiae family life, the pressure of daily life and in our darkest moments. She allows us ti briefly inhabit her inner world of silence and love, giving voice to our deepest needs with humanity and humour, and sometimes with the poetic sparseness and simplicity of a haiku. This is a gem of a book that reminds us of our deep need for a relationship with our Creator, and helps us to know, lean into and rest in the Lord. - Kate Nicholas, preacher, Christian broadcaster and author Emily's heart for God and resilience in the life shines through her writing. She writes powerfully and creatively, capturing the heartbeat of God in every sentence. - Tania Harris, pastor
