Fighting Words Devotional: 100 Days of Speaking Truth into the Darkness

This book was recommended to me by my teenage daughter. I haven't gotten a chance to really dive deep into it yet, but so far I love the author's insight page. I find that journaling is a great tool for healing, so I appreciate the questions at the end of each days devotion. The cover is very beautiful and eye catching as well. Fighting words is a great addition for anyone who finds themselves needing strength and guidance.

I heard about Fighting Words: 100 Days of Speaking Truth Into the Darkness by Ellie Holcomb through Proverbs 31 Ministries when they decided to use this book as their next Online Bible Study.When I saw the title, I was ALL in. Who doesn't need fighting words to help us through our darkest seasons?Love wins in the end, and this is why we can 'rejoice always.' This is why we've always got a reason to sing.Fighting Words is a beautiful hardback book with an attached ribbon to mark your place. The back of the book is designed like the front, but instead of the title, there is a Scripture verse.It reminds me that because of who God is, I can feel lonely, and yet I'm never fully alone. I can feel awkward, and yet know that I'm embraced. I can feel unsteady about who I am and remember that even on the days I forget who I am and who God made me to be, I am grounded and anchored in Love.Each day starts with a Bible verse, followed by a story/devotional. At the end are questions for you to think about and respond to, followed by a short prayer. Each day will take about five minutes, depending on how much thought you put into the questions at the end. Ten pages in the book are Bible verses that you are encouraged to memorize.I love this devotional. I have learned so much about Ellie Holcomb that I did not know. Including that she sings one of my favorite songs on the radio 😀 I had not connected the author and artist. I appreciate the conversational tone of each day. It's like sitting down with your friend and having a thoughtful conversation. I have found that so many days are exactly what I needed at that moment.Once I got a few days into the book, I bought a copy for my son and daughter. This book is perfect for anyone who wants encouragement during the darkest days or to have Scripture ready for when those days come. This is a devotional I will keep and go through again.

Very encouraging addition to my day!

It was easy to read when you only have a few minutes of time each day. The stories/devotions were meaningful but by about halfway through the book, the devotional stories were a lot of theme repeats of previous days

I've been looking and looking for a devotional that would keep my attention, and this one sounded right up my alley. I'm on Day 5 now, and I must say I actually look forward to cracking it open and seeing what the Word has to share for the day. The format is very user-friendly - a verse, some backstory for context, and some questions to ask yourself about the points made by the verse or application thereof. Though-provoking, but not so heavy as to weigh you down. I'm really enjoying the book. Highly recommended!

I read the entire thing to "emerge out of darkness" and really boost my spiritual life!! It helped along with prayer/fasting and I have so much to testify about! It would be a perfect gift!!

I’ve only read day 1 so far and I’m completely in love with what Ellie has done with this book. Fighting words is a promise and it’s more like a therapist talking to you. There are questions within this devotional that are optional to answer but I’ve found problems within my life that I didn’t even know about. This book makes me feel at peace and it’s overwhelmed with so much love. It’s not a devotional. It’s the title.. fighting words. A promise to yourself to keep going even in the darkest time. So if you’re in a tough spot in your life and you’ve been through a lot in general. I 100% recommend this book. And this is only day one guys. It’s totally worth it and I’m in awe of the beauty, love, and how well written it is.

I got this to have something to read each day before school starts. It gets my day started great and focused on the Lord. I’m really learning a lot

This devotional is so good, each day is short and easy to fit into any day but it delivers such good messages that are relevant and relatable. It was just what I needed.

#truth this devotional is beautifully written with heart and is a joy to hold and look at. Simple truths for managing life.
