“In Gayl Wright’s Journey Into Light, the structure is the key. She opens with a simple thought or perhaps the seed of a thought. It is a come now, let us reason together sort of invitation to the theme of the devotion. Then, she cuts straight to the Scripture. There is no engagement yet; that occurs later. Having introduced the thought, she leaves you alone with the Word to begin the process of understanding. Only after you have been introduced to the Biblical text does she then speak. In this third part of the structure, she shares from her own life and experiences some key thoughts on each subject. But Gayl does not leave us there. She concludes each devotion with questions for reflection. She understands that sometimes questions can say more than answers.” (Michael Card, award-winning musician and performing artist, and author of many books.)

As I read each devotion, I felt that Gayl was uncovering a little bit more about herself and her relationship with God—almost like it was progressive. It touched me deeply that way and encouraged me to open my heart to the Lord also. The chapter on an ordinary day brought such peace to my heart and such beauty.

Slow down, unplug, and ponder the poetry, scripture, and reflective questions in Journey to the Light. These short devotionals invite us to let our souls be watered by the Truth, who is a trustworthy Person, and the Light for all our journeys. Gayl gently helps us connect with Him.

Journey Into Light is an easy-to-read, practical devotional book in which the author gently directs our thoughts to focus on Christ and apply His truth in everyday matters and the challenges we face. Written in a personal, honest, and straightforward style, Gayl has also included some helpful, hands-on advice, encouraging creativity and joy in the simple things of life.

It has been said that if you walk with pleasure, you learn little, but if you walk with sorrow, you learn much. I only know a small portion of Gayl’s journey, but this book demonstrates how much wisdom she has learned along the way. Her words are not only founded on the unshakeable truth of Scripture; they are words based on a faith that has been tested by flood and by fire … a faith that proves that nothing in all of creation can ever separate us from the love of God that is ours in Christ Jesus. I highly commend this book, as I do the author; both beautiful in their simple profundity.

Nature, poetry, and inspiration, painted with grace in a mom’s voice, Gayl carefully weaves from every aspect of creativity in this beautiful devotional.

I have known Gayl since she was a young teenager and have observed that she has been on a “long journey in the same direction” – that direction being to honor and serve Jesus Christ. Her journey has included both great sadness and great joy, and in this devotional book, she unselfishly shares with us some of the lessons she has learned along the way. She lovingly both encourages and challenges us to join her on the Journey Into Light.

This is one of the best devotionals I’ve ever worked through. Some devotionals you want to put off reading. This one, you want to read ahead to see what’s next. The Scriptures build seamlessly on one another, the commentary is sincere without being preachy, and the questions offered for reflection are down-to- earth and eminently practical. A strong recommend!

Gayl’s creativity and love are seen throughout.
