    About this ebook

    People of faith are very much a part of the masses of people engaging in social media today as a way of life. Culturally ingrained as a method of quick and succinct communication is the advent of text messaging, which seemingly has begun to replace routine telephone communication for many. Yet the greatest message of all was sent thousands of years ago to humankind and remains accessible to everyone who desires to read it. It is God’s text message written in the scriptures for our daily use. Gotta Text! is a thirty-one-day devotional that members of the body of Christ can use to encourage one another. It becomes a vehicle to connect people to the Gospel message through everyday encounters. This book is an interactive devotional in which the reader has an opportunity to “text” a friend or group of friends with a selected verse of a scripture-inspired message that compliments the devotional of the day.
