Book Cover & Preview Text
The idea of the book is a 31 day devotional . Over the years I have purchased a few of the yearly devotionals by various authors. the devotionals were great , I just could not keep up with the yearly devotionals, hence the idea for a 31 day devotional . I figured it would be easier to keep up with a devotional for at least one month.
Just a closer walk, is a 31 day devotional journey. It can be started on any day of the month or the first day of the month. As one opens the book ,there are two pages for each day. Each day is numbered and begins on the left side of the book with reading the devotional for that day.
The second page, the right side of the book, is titled, Today's Closer walk, which begins with a scripture or scriptures that supports the theme of that day's devotional.
Many of these devotionals I have shared while on mission trips during our devotional time in Central and South America. I owe a great deal of thanks to my father, Jack Temple, Sr., for the chance to share on our mission trips. The devotionals are written from the heart, many times out of the daily struggles I have faced and sometimes still face. I am a regular person just like everyone else, I have had and still face the daily struggles of life. I have come to realize that I am just the sort of person God uses to illustrate his great love, mercy and forgiveness.

Just a Closer Walk is a thirty-one day, daily devotional book inspired by the realization that it is God who desires a closer walk with us. It is God who wants to spend more time with us than we realize. As His children, we do not have to work our spiritual fingers to the bone to earn His love. Through Jesus, our Savior, we have God’s total love, grace, and mercy.
The devotionals are written from the heart and written for the regular person facing life’s struggles. Regular, often broken people are who God uses to illustrate love, mercy, and forgiveness. These devotionals are simple, easy to understand, and use real life experiences to convey a message of love and hope.
God is chasing His children and wants to be a part of their daily lives. Let the adventure begin, for as His children, we are loved more than we could ever know.
