We may experience pain, suffering, and trials in our Christian walks through life, but no one has been through more battles on their Christian walk than one man--Jesus Christ. When we are facing difficult challenges and obstacles in our lives, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can show us how to overcome and find victory in the tough times. Meat in Due Season is an inspiring devotional guide that can help fellow believers survive the storms of life, and it is a hands-on scriptural guide with one thing in mind--the Lord and how he can help his children make it through. Author and minister Victor Kennedy shares his own life experiences and offers a window into the major trials he experienced while writing--the daily devotions often reflect a situation that literally happened on that very day. By reflecting on God's Word and on the example of Christ, you too can find victory in the tough times and get a greater appreciation of your times of peace. Especially with Christ's forgiveness, you can be motivated to forgive and walk with the Lord to the peace, joy, and fulfilment that he provides along your journey.

First published in 1947, In Due Season broke new ground with its fictional representation of women and of Indigenous people. Set during the dustbowl 1930s, this tersely narrated prize-winning novel follows Lina Ashley, a determined solo female homesteader who takes her family from drought-ridden southern Alberta to a new life in the Peace River region. Here her daughter Poppy grows up in a community characterized by harmonious interactions between the local Métis and newly arrived European settlers. Still, there is tension between mother and daughter when Poppy becomes involved with a Métis lover. This novel expands the patriarchal canon of Canadian prairie fiction by depicting the agency of a successful female settler and, as noted by Dorothy Livesay, was “one of the first, if not the first Canadian novel wherein the plight of the Native Indian and the Métis is honestly and painfully recorded.” The afterword by Carole Gerson and Janice Dowson provides substantial information about author Christine van der Mark and situates her under-acknowledged book within the contexts of Canadian social, literary, and publishing history.

I wrote In Due Season during the time I was single and desired to be married. I exercised every day by walking, and one day I asked God, aEURoeWhen will I meet the man that I will be married to?aEUR I prayed and stood on the scriptures faithfully that one day I will be married, and I heard God say, aEURoeWhen it is due season.aEUR I wrote down what He said about due seasons. I applied what I heard, and I waited. Several months after, I met the man who is now my husband. I thought about my sisters (and brothers) in the family of God who might benefit from the advice that was given to me, and I was inspired to write In Due Season. As I was writing what God had said to me, I included other topics. Hopefully, you will be encouraged by what God has said and revealed to me to help me in my Christian walk. This includes how to stand on His promises, how to overcome spiritual storms, and how to stand on His Word and see His blessings. The topics covered explain my experiences in life and how I came to realize victory through the storms; and I am no longer overcome by fear, worry, and doubt. My hope is that the readers of this book will know that God loves you, and He is not a respecter of persons and that you also may receive victory in the challenges in your lives and be an overcomer. The word of God says, aEURoeAnd they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the Word of their testimonyaEUR (Revelation 12:11). I give glory to God for all the good things that He has done and for the blessings that will be poured out to you and transform your life. aEURoeFor I know the plans I have for you,aEUR says the Lord. aEURoeThey are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.aEUR (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 NLT)

Paul Wilkes has been a writer/journalist, a TV producer, a monastic, a hedonist, a friend of the famous, a family man, and ultimately a true prodigal son. With In Due Season, Wilkes, one of America's most respected writers on religious belief and spirituality, details his search for God--from his working class upbringing in Cleveland to giving up everything he owned and living with the poor to his hedonistic life among the rich and famous. Wilkes's inspiring life story is one of abysmal failure and ultimate triumph, of a faith in God, battered and tried in the crucible of his experience.

The Women of Grace Writers were challenged to select a specific word to pray about and concentrate on for an entire year. That inspiration came in part as a result of reading “One Perfect Word” by reknown author Debbie McComber. Accordingly, the writers’ desire is that this collection of Words in Due Season will help to bring awareness of : God’s love through all the seasons of life, the profound power of prayer, the importance of renewed relationships, and the knowledge that God will never leave you alone.
