inhale (exhale)

‘inhale (exhale): A 40-Day Journey Breathing in Grace’ by the multi-platinum-selling contemporary Christian band MercyMe is a book that invites readers to experience the power of God’s grace with every breath they take. Inspired by their best-selling album of the same name, this book provides a path for readers with scriptures, thought-provoking questions, meditative prayers, and references, along with space to journal their thoughts and practice mindfulness.

This 40-day devotional journey centers around a recurring theme: the inhale day and the exhale day, drawing inspiration from the lyrics of the songs. The book encourages readers to deepen their devotion and understanding of God’s grace. Bart Millard, the songwriter and lead singer of the band, shares his personal experiences of navigating dark times in life, which served as the inspiration for the songs. Through this book, he aims to connect with readers on a profound level, using the metaphor of breath to guide them towards self-acceptance, hope, faith, and a deeper relationship with God.
