What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"In a world often jaded by misconceptions revolving around the Bible, Elisa Pulliam invites new and seasoned believers alike to take off their blinders and believe God's Word like never before. Unblinded Faith is a devotional that will challenge you and renew your hope in the Truth that will make your faith become sight."
—Erin Odom, author of More Than Just Making It and You Can Stay Home with Your Kids, and creator of The Humbled Homemaker blog

"Are you searching for hope in the midst of darkness? Allow Elisa and her God-given wisdom illuminate your way. Sit back and watch as God's Word becomes the only lamp you need to discover the light."
—Carey Bailey, life coach at CareyBailey.com

"God is ever-eager to reveal to us more of Himself through His Son and through His Word. Sometimes, He gives us a friend to lead us—Elisa Pulliam is such a friend. Each short chapter of Unblinded Faith feels like a deep sit-down conversation as she delivers the Word, tells stories that bring those Bible lessons to life, and asks leading questions to help us think and engage so the blinders fall just a bit, and the light shines brighter than before. Oh, how our faith grows when we spend time with God in His Word. Unblinded Faith is for all women who want to see Him clearly in their everyday, walk-around lives!"
—Wendy Speake, coauthor of Triggers, Parenting Scripts, and Life Creative

"Have you ever struggled with the truths found in the Bible? If so, you're not alone. We live in very confusing times. Culture today is challenging everything from the existence of absolute truth to the need for God. Sadly, in an attempt to be loving, many churches today have abandoned God's Word as the plumb line for truth and exchanged it for the constantly shifting values of a culture in spiritual decline, leaving many feeling emotionally and spiritually depleted.

"In Unblinded Faith, author Elisa Pulliam reminds us that sometimes the best thing to do is to hit the reset button—to step back from the social connections that drain our souls and cause us to doubt God's promises—and get back to basics so that we can regain much needed emotional and physical margin in our lives.

"For 90 days, Elisa challenges readers to take a new look at the faith that makes us whole. In doing so, we get a front row seat to seeing God's power and provision with fresh eyes. It's a journey worth taking!"
—Heidi St. John, MomStrong International, author, speaker, blogger, executive director at Firmly Planted Family

"I'm not a girl who naturally faces the hard days with peace and trust. Some days it's more difficult to see truth, to see Christ. I often have to be reminded who's really leading the charge over here. That's why Unblinded Faith encourages me. This is a book about hope and life-changing truth that will help us find the sort of perspective that could change everything. Lisa, a seasoned life coach passionate about spiritual growth, offers compelling and relatable narratives that challenge us to embrace God's promises. Unblinded Faith invites us to walk this life with open eyes—passionate, purposeful, and full of possibility."
—Jo Ann Fore, life coach and author of When a Woman Finds Her Voice

"Steeped in God's truth, Unblinded Faith is an invitation to soak up a few minutes of quiet grace every day. With each of the 90 devotions, you'll want to pull up a chair to savor the wisdom of a trusted friend. Elisa Pulliam communicates the timeless truth of God's Word with the voice of a wise counselor and gentle guide. Without reservation, I highly recommend her beautiful new gift to the world."
—Denise J. Hughes, writer for (in)courage and the First 5 app by Proverbs 31 Ministries and author of Deeper Waters

"Elisa's words are a touchstone, consistently pointing back to the truth of Scripture with practical, real-life applications. Unblinded Faith is a fruitful journey toward discovering the fullness of God's Love."
—Kayla Aimee, author of Anchored and In Bloom
