User reviews
I am having trouble memorizing my user id for the app and no one has been very helpful
Frustrating renewal at first. The auto renewal on Google play didnt work but they have applied a fix to it since 06/20 and so now I have it back after several months of non-use.
I really love this app!!! It's simple and not complicated at all. Now that I am really trying to practice add the head of my household to my wife and daughter as far as leading my family in bible studies, this app really helps to give me a great starting point. I am so glad I saw a reference to this app from someone...
Very good resource. A blessing every day.
I enjoy reading the devotionals, and very nice daily prayers, thank you.
Works like a charm, easy read, timely messages and prayers.
