a man after God's own heart, David, David Kitz, devotional, Psalms 365

The start of a new year can be a great time to start a new devotional. If you have enjoyed my daily online posts on the Psalms, you may be pleased to know that these same posts are now available in an attractive book format. P 365-120120

Daily reading and meditation on the Psalms is an ideal way to grow in your love for God and his holy Word.

Endorsements:

David Kitz writes with a heart that wants to worship God, and he invites us all to join in through his writings. His daily reflections on the Psalms are practical and make you want to love our God and Savior more.

For more than twenty years David Kitz has been my friend, colleague, and fellow member in a weekly men’s fellowship group. He has always demonstrated his passion to know and make manifest God’s Word in his life, to draw close to the heart of his Father. In other words, he is a man after God’s own heart, which is so clearly evident in this new daily devotions book. I have had the distinct privilege of reading these devotions through David’s blog in preparation for this new publication. Each devotion will inspire and provide the reader with biblical insights and life applications, through a daily call to prayer, worship, obedience, thanksgiving, and meditation on God’s Word. May this book help to strengthen, heal, and encourage all who read it!

The Year in Review

Covid, God's faithfulness, Psalms 365

My regular morning Psalms devotional posts are on a New Year’s Day pause. Instead, here is my personal reflection on the past year.

Here is a brief overview on my year, after all this was 2020—a year to remember. It all began over the 2019 Christmas break with a Holy Spirit nudge to get a heart checkup in the New Year. A series of cardiac tests followed in February and early March. I felt a call to do a 21-day, liquids only fast in February. What a time of drawing close to God that was! For what purpose remained unclear at the time. But God knew what lay ahead, including the great COVID lockdown beginning in mid March..

In May I assumed oversight of Life Bible Institute in Toronto. How this will develop in the months and years to come remains to be seen. I believe the Lord has good plans instore.

As June began and regular hospital routines resumed after the lockdown, I got call after call from the Ottawa Heart Institute. Those tests before the lockdown revealed some major heart issues. On June 30th I was told my heart was enlarged and I needed heart valve repair surgery. This came as quite a shock, since I was feeling great at the time and I was very active. Fourteen days later I suddenly collapsed. A second collapse two days later sent me to hospital by ambulance. On July 24th I had open-heart valve repair surgery. Three valves needed repair. Needless to say, that along with COVID, put a crimp in our summer plans. The remainder of the summer and early fall were all about recovery from major surgery.

Mind Rooms 2020-09-27

Celebrating the release of “Mind Rooms” with my Turkish friends.

So how am I doing? Despite occasional setbacks I’m doing very well, and have resumed almost all my regular activities. I have so much to be thankful for. Karen has been a huge help and comfort to me, during the whole year, and the recovery process. Care from the Heart Institute has been superb. Through it all God has been present and so very faithful.

Despite these difficulties and setbacks, on the writing front, it’s been a very productive year. In late September I completed the translation and celebrated the release of Turkish author Cem Gulbent’s novel, Mind Rooms. Then on December 2nd, volume one of Psalms 365 was released. Volumes two and three will be rolling out over the next six to eight months in 2021. That means all the devotional post that appear daily in this space will be available in book form by mid summer.

Despite heartaches and altered plans, 2020 has been a year to draw close to God and one another. There’s something very beautiful in that.

Karen and I hope you and your family had a splendid Christmas with lots of love and hugs (even if they are virtual.) May God’s peace and blessing rest on you and your household in 2021.

David Kitz, Psalms, Psalms 365

Why dig into the Psalms? The Psalms are a poetic feast for the mind, soul and spirit. In them, you will find intimacy with God. For a hundred generations, hungry souls have found nourishment there.

Psalms 365P 365-120120 is specifically designed to help you develop a life of worship and prayer like the biblical David. Let author David Kitz take you on a journey—a journey to a deeper understanding of God’s will and his ways for your life. Each daily reading provides insight and inspiration for practical Christian living, allowing the Good Shepherd to guide you to the center of his will.

This 265-page volume packs a punch. It’s slightly larger than the standard paperback size allowing for the use of a larger font. The end result is a cover and print content that is easy on the eyes.

In total, this volume has 120 daily readings, spanning Psalm 1 through Psalm 51. Volumes two and three will be released as 2021 progresses. This will allow readers to journey through the entire 150 Psalms in the span of a year, hence the title Psalms 365.

Now is an ideal time to commit to a daily, year-long, devotional journey through the Psalms. Psalms 365 is written by award-winning author David Kitz, is published by Elk Lake Publishing, and is available through Amazon and other retailers.

book, David Kitz, Devotions, Psalms 365

What goes into making a great book cover? What makes a book appealing? I suppose authors and book publishers have pondered those questions for quite sometime.

One by one, Elk Lake Publishing developed covers for my new book. The first two were good, maybe even very good, but somehow they didn’t have that spark that called out, “I’m the one!”

But cover number three called my name. I can only hope it calls your name, and other reader’s names too.
Screen Shot 2020-11-30 at 3.42.06 PM Thanks goes to Deb Haggerty and Derinda Babcock for their diligence in working with this author, who knows what he wants when he sees it, but he can’t always put the picture into words in advance.

With some slight modifications, this will become the cover of my newest book. Volumes two and three will follow in 2021.

I welcome your feedback.
