Hello and welcome to the She Reads Truth bonus episodes.

This is the first of four bonus episodes where Amanda and I get to talk to you about our new devotional book,

releasing September 2nd, called The Bible Is For You.

These bonus episodes, we will talk about the what of the book, what is it, why, like what's our heart behind

it? You're going to get to hear from Amanda and me about what it was like to publish our first

book in seven years. It's a long time, Rachel. It's a very long time. And the very first of

its kind, the very first, she reads truth Truth devotional book. Joining me in the studio right

now is my co-editor, co-host, co-founder, the significant other of my life, the one and only, Amanda

Bible Williams. Amanda, welcome to the She Reads Truth podcast studio. Hello. Hello. Honor to be here,

as always. Thank you for that amazing introduction. Oh, thank you. I. Hello. Honored to be here, as always. Thank you for that.

Amazing introduction. Oh, thank you. I love that. And also to you. Oh, yes. I extend all of that back

to you. This is so fun. We haven't published a book at a long time. We also have not done a bonus

podcast episode in a long time. Yeah. I mean, listen, we're just surprised even ourselves.

Yeah. But we wanted to be able to just talk about this and just kind of free form.

That's right. What is this book? What was it like creating it? What did it dig up in us?

That's right. Yeah. And then maybe a special guest along the way. I like that.

I am like literally still drying my eyes from when we prayed just before we hit record.

Like I just, this book is so special to us. It is. So special, I'll full stop that sentence. It's so

special. Amanda, I would love to give you the opportunity to just sort of answer the question,

what's the book? What is it about? We'll get to the

why, but like, what are we looking at here? I'm going to touch it while I talk about it because I have

so much affection for this book. So it is a devotional. And here's what a devotional is.
