Made to Shine is based on Jesus' instructions in Matthew 5:16 to reflect the light of Jesus in all that we do. Focusing on key Scriptures that associate light with the character and person of Christ, the ninety devotions in this uplifting volume are meant to empower women of faith to creatively carry His light wherever they go. They might be working women striving for excellence with intense deadlines, college students standing firm in their faith on a secular campus, or stay-at-home moms, sleepdeprived and living off of tea and toast. Each situation offers numerous opportunities to take Christ's light, not just into their going-to-work/school/church life, but into their everyday, ordinary, sleeping-and-eating, groceryshopping, coffee drinking life . . . and let it shine.

When you think of the Newsboys, do you think rock and roll, gold records, concerts, and fame? Shine: Make Them Wonder What You’ve Got reveals the Newsboys in a way you have never seen them before--not just as performers but as Christians.

Their spiritual journeys reflect a deep and growing faith that permeates their music while also transcending it. This new path challenges the limitations we’ve put on Christianity in our postmodern culture and seeks the essence of the Gospel.
