Deepening a Father’s Heart: A 25 Day Journal for Men
Siestas! We are so blessed to announce the availability of this brand new 25-day devotional journal for dads, written by our own Curtis Jones. We were delighted when God began to give him this vision and knew that the timing was perfect for Father’s Day. You’ve asked us a thousand times for something for men. Well, here you go! Our first offering! May God be praised! Each entry consists of a daily Scripture and devotional reading, suggested passages for further reading, application questions, and space for journaling prayers.This devotional journal is our special offer for June and July with a donation of any amount. We want anyone who wants one to have one. If you are interested in grabbing hold of Deepening a Father’s Heart for a man in your life, follow this link.
We love you and desire to serve you faithfully! May God use every effort from this ministry to, in some way, glorify His Name and edify His people. It is our driving passion to see God’s people in God’s Word. We love you, Siestas!

This is wonderful ! I think an encouraging resource is just as (if not more) important for men. In this day we live, having a strong godly man isn't far-fetched, but is hard to find sometimes.
Bless you all for your hardwork and obedience.
Thank you for the strength in obedience and LOVE for our God.
Hi would this be for a guy that been married for a year?They are a very sweet & Christain couple & my neice is his wife.Thanks God bless love sister in Christ Victoria
Wow, how exciting to see a devotional from Curtis! My husband will LOVE this for Father's Day. Thank you!
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful gift. I wish I could have given more for it because your ministry means so much to me personally. Thanks for all you do! You are very appreciated and loved.
What a great idea! Way to go Curtis and congrats! My daughters will add this to their dad's day gift! He will just love it! Especially when it comes from his girls! I am always doing studies of my own . . . Just maybe he can turn off the T.V. & join me! I'm sure he will! Thanks for your obedience! Looking forward for more in the near future! God Bless!
How neat! And what a blessing to offer it to everyone! I'll definatly be snagging a few. :)
That's awesome!! I'm on my way to snag a copy! Think it would get here by father's day?
Im gonna be geting thid for my dad and my step dad! Thanks Beth ans thank you to Curtis!
Beth-I have been playing catch-up on your blog. I am so so sorry about Sunny. My heart goes out to you. I also love your posting about letting God be in control as out life is obviously too large for us to steer by ourself. How true. You are such a blessing!!

Beth,
This could not come at a better time! My husband has been struggling in his faith; wanting to grow but not able to see any progress. God is so good to bring us just what we need, when we need it. I'm so thankful for your family and the many ways you make my life better. I'll be ordering this today.
Love ya'
Wonderful! I just did that yesterday. I know my Chris will love it for Father's Day!!
CURTIS!!! that is so awesome! We are so excited! Vernon, Victor and I we standing here at the computer with our jaws open...we are sooooo excited for you and all this will accomplish in the Kingdom! amen friend!
very, VERY exciting! Ordering mine (well, *his*) now!
Beth, my dear friend...
Tears welled up as I read this post and I can't wait to get my man one for Father's Day!!!
Long, long ago several friends and I prayed that somehow, some way, God will allow our men to have someone who would love them enough to lead them in the Word as you have done for us.
Answered prayer, I'd say!!! And it was just yesterday that I was catching up with A Woman's Heart and in the Week 3 Session you said something like sometimes standing in the gap is not just standing in the space, but in the time between the petition and the revelation.
This one of those moments for me -- the petition being lifted a long time ago and now seeing the revelation!!
Sorry for the heavy comment, just wanted to thank you!!!
Blessings,
Dori
P.S. See you in Atlanta in just a little over 3 weeks!!
Oh yeah! I am going to order a couple now! Thanks!
Yeah!
Would you be able to ship overseas?
Cant' wait, will go order now, to get it by Father's day ;)
Thank you! My husband has been waiting for Godly written material to come his way. He has been jealous of all of the Bible Studies available to women and been desiring for years to have some written specifically for him! I have already gone to the site and ordered it for him!
Very exciting! Thank you Curtis.
You must've been snickering as you read all the comments not so long ago about wanting a book for our men! Little did we know you were already working on it! Isn't that how it is with God...as we're asking He's working! Love it!
Kelli
THIS IS GREAT!!!!!
Blessings to you all!
steph.
Just ordered mine for the father of my boys and soon to be girl! can't wait to give it to him!
I love this idea. It seems as Mother's Day is made a big ta do, Father's Day gets a little shafted. Mother's Day at our church, all events were canceled to give the weary mothers a rest. There was hemming and hawing to get the same privilege for Fathers. I am reminded by this that my words and actions towards my own husband if aimed at me from him would be...well, hurtful. I humbled and encouraged to change that.
This just made my day! After that post Curtis wrote a while back, I couldn't wait to get my hands on whatever else God would use him to produce through your ministry and pass it on to my husband! I am so excited (and I know my husband will be too!) Thanks so much!
Praise the Lord!!! Hallelujah~~... Can you hear the music?
What a great idea! I'm soo - happy!
...May many be sold for the glory of God the Father and for the many Dads all around!
Oh what an awesome resource! Just what our men need!
Beth, I have a question for you, and hope that you can address it in a future blog post. In the follow-up post to the prayer request for the Chapman family, you had mentioned your prayer journal, and to go through our prayer journals and mark on random days a reminder to pray for the Chapmans. My question is this...how do you set up a workable prayer journal? And how do you use it? I have a book that I write prayer requests in, and I call it my prayer journal, but all it is is a list of prayer requests. I hear other Sisters in Christ talk about their prayer journals, and they don't sound like "lists" like mine does. If you could share how to do this, it would be such an awesome resource for your bloggy-world siestas!
Thank you!!!!!!
Blessings,
Lori in Visalia, CA
I saw it on your website yesterday... but didn't know what the required donation was... Yeah!! I am glad that you linked it to your blog today. I wish that I could have sent more. Your Ministry means so much ot me. Thanks so much for blessing us. Lynn
This is just perfect for my husband for Father's Day! I'm so glad you are sharing this with us.
Thank you so much!! I just ordered this for my husband for Father's Day. What a blessing this will be.
This is perfect! I needed one more something special for my husband for fathers day. He is a Daddy to one, soon to be 2 boys.
How great to have something just for guys. My husband probably gets tired of hearing Beth Moore this Beth Moore that and Beth Moore's daughter... Now I can pass something along to him that is just for guys.
Thank you Curtis!
perfect timing!
how wonderful..
Thanks,
Alyce
Beth and girls and Curt..
When I followed the link, I didn't find the new devotional book. Is it the featured item of the month??
perfect timing ya'll. and even more so for me because we are matched to adopt a precious baby in November so my man will really BE a father now.

This is awesome!! I am so excited. Thank you Curtis! I have been excited since Curtis joined the LPM staff because I knew God was opening a door for the men in our lives!
Praise God.
Have a great day!
Love,
Patty
Wow! Perfect timing! Love you guys!
Kari
Yeah! How very exciting! Just ordered one. My husband listened to Curtis online and loved him. He is going to love this. Thank you so much for your obedience to Him.
I am so excited!!! Thank you Curtis and Beth. I just donated to receive one for my husband! I can not wait to see what else is to come. The summer Bible study idea was just awesome. I might do it solo because of a prior commitment to leading a 12 step group for Celebrate Recovery at my church. I feel at home bible studys are key for doing life together as believers! Doing Breaking Free, Believing God and then a 12step in celebrate Recovery has changed my life. I know God put them in the right order for me to see my need, to believe God, and then the action part through 12step. Through Christ,CR and you Beth teaching Gods Word so Spirit led I am free!!
Go Curt! We are looking forward to more from you soon!!!
This is great timing! Just ordered mine for my husband. He can do the devotional and I will be doing the online bible study, perfect! Thanks Curtis!
I am so excited about this and for the way that it will encourage my husband. Thank you for this! Yet again, you guys Rock my world :)
I just ordered my copy!! I am always looking for something to give my man for any occasion. This is perfect to go along with our Father's Day gifts.
Thank you for this offering.
Blessings to you all,
Royana (Isaac's Mom)
My husband and I are expecting our first child, a little girl, in August. I have been deliberating about what to give him for Father's Day and this is perfect! Thank you for providing a great resource for the men in our lives!
Thank you!! Such a perfect Father's Day gift!
(Sorry if this gets posted twice. The word identification didn't seem to work the first time.)
Awesome! I am definitely thinking about getting this for my husband. I'm just not sure if he would even use it. I hope so.
Yippeeee! Doing the happy dance for all of us who have been waiting for something like this!
Already anticipating the next one, whatever it is!
Perfect for my Gene for Father's Day! How awesome!!
Thank you!
Can't wait to see this! I just made a donation and got one but would like to order more copies for my dad and father-in-law, etc. Is there anywhere you can buy aditional books?
I just wanted to write and let you know that a group of 5 will be meeting in Vestavia Hills, Alabama alongside you doing Bible study and eating yummy recipes! Can't wait to dig into God's Word with all of you!
Just wanted to let you all know that there will be 5 more of us studying God's Word alongside all of you in Vestavia Hills, Alabama! Can't wait!
Yeah! That was so easy and perfect for my Muffin. Bless you and your family with great favor in the eyes of our Father and in the eyes of men and women, too.
I am just SO SO SO excited! I will be ordering them for all the special men in our lives! What a blessing!!!
Beth, I will send in a donation soon, but I am so scraping for money and trying to make sure I have plenty for the Siesta Fiesta in San Antonio.
I really would like for my man to have this devotion. I suppose if I am really supposed to get it for him, God will make the way.
At Bossier City LPL last March you read an old devotion with this prayer request - "Lord, please put Keith and I on a Budget..."
I feel like the best laid plans always fall apart and come to ruin. I ask you guys to pray and pray hard for my husband and I to find a budget that works with our shifting sand economy. Thanks a bundle.
AWESOME!! I will give this to my dad for Father's day...how wonderful and precious-he is always hard to find gifts for, and this just calls his name! Thanks!!
Also, please say a quick prayer for me if you think about it. I am in a situation in a church where I feel like I am experiencing spiritual warfare all over the place. I know this isnt the place to post this :) but I know someone will read and I would appreciate a quick word to the Father. I am having to be so wise and careful with my tongue in this situation, and its hard for me. My love for the youth I have worked with and my love for the Lord are being questioned in my face and with harsh words, and its hard just to do what I know I need to, which is just stand and be persecuted and be silent. Its a sticky situation that also involves an ex-boyfriend and his new girl...so Im having to be very careful with all that I do-especially when youth are watching. I tried to walk away from this situation, but things keep coming back to me, every week. It's insane. Im seeking the Lord in how to handle this, but its still tough-especially when He calls me to keep loving these people who verbally hurt me and accuse me of false things. Thank you in advance for your prayers. himay5007@yahoo.com
Way cool!
just wondering-is this hardcover? how many pages? it'd be cool if we could take a sneek peek inside at an excerpt.
Thank you so much!
Perfect! I knew it would only be a matter of time before somebody on the LPM staff besides Beth wrote something! I love that it was Curtis! Beth, you must be proud of him and so thankful to God for giving you such a terrific son-in-law!
Love you friend-

The Journey Continues ~
Are we Siesta's blessed above and beyond or what!!!!
It makes me want to be like a man and belch my appreciation spelling out C U R T I S with the alphabet... oh, maybe that is only in my "3" man household!
I need a sip of coke to help me belch ~
Thanks for blessing the men and the Siestas!
With "Heaven Bound" blessings,

Congrats, Curtis, on the devotional. Will pray it blesses many...
Warm in Alaska.
Beth, so sorry about your little pal- he looked like an adorable and faithful companian. I still remember that loss in our own home, and sad to say more than other PEOPLE who passed. I guess i always saw that quiet stillness I was searching for in my dog's eyes. Praying for you and yours. Please if you all can add a siesta to your prayers--it's been a struggle as of late for me with marital dissappointments, a traumatic fall for my baby boy ( who miraculously made it and is doing wonderful) and well about 3 other tough things. My heart is tired and the counselor describes it as me having exceeded my dissappointment expectations :)- how many of us are there. Praying for you all, Love, Shell
Thanks Curtis! :)
I have something I want to share that is off this topic but onto another one that is so important. I was browsing the IMB prayer requests this morning & found one I want to pass on to my Siestas:
"REUNION, INDIAN OCEAN ISLANDS. Please pray for the launching of the Beth Moore study “Breaking Free” in French on Reunion Island this month. Pray for the three Bible studies that missionary Lisa Jones will be leading in the north, the south and on the west coast of the island. Intercede for traveling mercies as she travels to the different cities. Pray that the women who participate in the study will be diligent as they study. Ask the Father to bless them as they learn to apply biblical truths to their lives, enabling them to break free from the issues that literally paralyze many of them in their Christian walk."
"Breaking Free" literally changed my life & I know many of you Siestas would say the same. Will you join with me in praying for these French sisters..."Oui?" :)
Blessings & Love....
Thankyou for this resource!
Praise the LORD for Curtis!
I just donated to get a copy for my man. We hadn't really budgeted this mo for much of anything extra (we do Dave Ramsey style budgeting) but I couldn't pass up the opportunity:) I'll just take that donation out of my "blow $" for this mo.:)
Even though my man is not a father yet, there's a real chance he could be; if not, then I could always give it to my father or my step-dad or my father-in-law one year (I've got options:). As long as some father gets a blessing out of it, right?
Love you all,

Psalm 3:1-6 (AMP)
Thank your for this offer! I have ordered one for my man! I can't wait to see what gifts God gave Curtis to share.
I am also leaving a note to say that a group of Siestas in Charlottesville VA will be meeting. WE are going to do a study..."Living Free" by a one fantastic woman...Beth Moore!!. We are going to follow the same schedule. The leaders had already chosen this study...so we'll be in the Word along side you all!
Have a terrific day
Kate
?? Ladies is LPM ready for the response from us for this book?? I took me almost 30 minutes trying to order it. My pc actually froze. . . Well at least you can count on us that we will get one :)
Beth: I ordered this as soon as I saw it available earlier this week. I am going to give it to my first-born son, Jeremy, for Fathers Day. He won't be a father until this August when Zeke (Ezekiel) is born! But I know it will encourage him greatly and I couldn't wait - he loves to journal too.
Jeremy is a pastor - he is beginning work on his doctorate, and I love to hear him preach. What blesses me is that when I get to attend his church and hear him preach, I hear the message and really forget about the fact that my son is the messenger.
I am a blessed woman indeed, and YOU and Living Proof ministry have imparted large investments to my life through your Bible studies, devotionals, conferences and this blog. Hallelujah and Amen!
I love you so,
Georgia Jan

Beth, like Lori in Visalia, CA, I would like more info regarding your prayer journal. Thanks, and God bless all of you.

Hi ladies! The devotional journal was published here by Living Proof like Mom’s “Wising Up,” “Measureless Love” and numerous other CD’s. We worked closely with a professional graphic designer and had it printed by a company that LPM uses regularly for products we sell in our resource department. In order to keep costs low and get it done in time for Father's Day, we had it done in the form of a paperback booklet. Our resource department wanted to release it first as a special offer, then in several months it will be available for regular purchase. Until then, keep in mind that the donation can be anything and certainly doesn’t have to exceed an estimated cost. I hope that helps! If anyone has any questions, email us at blog@lproof.org. Blessings!
Amanda
How do I get Deepening a Father's Heart? Do I make a donation and then just click "Yes I want this month's promotional item"?
I did not see this book in the bookstore. I'm assuming this is how I do it but want to make sure.
I'd like to get it for Father's Day.
Email me please: dierkesp(at)hotmail(dot)com
Thanks,
Paula
Thanks for offering something for the men in our lives, Curtis you are a welcome blessing. And I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for living a modest lifestyle!! We hear so much these days about the Spiritual leaders and teachers who live extravagant and wasteful lifestyles, and bring disgrace to the Lord with the critism. I am not on a soap box about "them" just complimenting you. Shalom
Congratulations on adding this wonderful son-in-law to the fold at LPM. His book will undoubtedly bless the hearts of Father's everywhere in this season of thankfulness. I invite you all over to my blog this day for a tribute of sorts to my father who taught me how to find my voice. In doing so, he taught me to speak the language of my heavenly Father.
My love for him goes unmatched on this side of eternity. He has passed the torch of faith to me and to his grandkids in rich measure over the course of his 70 years.
I know, Beth and girls, you must feel the same about your father. We are all privileged to have them in our lives. May God continue to pass the torch of faith through his men in this generation.

HI Beth, Our church in Portland Oregon just finished up the Stepping Up bible study and it was amazing. I loved the music performed by Travis and the ladies and just want to say thank you for being such a "REAL" woman of God. I have done several of your studies and each one has blessed me in so many ways. As we get to know you more through the studies and videos, we commented yesterday that you feel like our sister!, and we love ya! Blessings to you and your family!
Beth,
This sounds wonderful, I will have to get over there and order one...
I pray that you are all doing well...

Beth, first off...thanks for this journal idea. What a great gift for Father's Day. Secondly, I just found your blog this evening and am so glad that I did. I love your work - your faith - your studies, etc. You are truly a blessing and an inspiration to so many. Thank you for all that you are and all that you aren't. I enjoy you so very much. Keep up the incredible work!
Blessings always,

What a great idea for Father's Day
I think I might get 3 - one for my dad, FIL, and my hubby!
Way to go - Curtis
May God continue to use you for His glory!
God bless

Well I can't wait for Father's Day this year. My husband is getting a new garden spade, a half gallon of ice cream (maybe I should make it a gallon so the spade will fit), and a devotional written by Curtis Jones!! It looks like it will be a Moore/Jones holiday at our house!!!
Thank you Curtis for thinking of our men. They need to be encouraged. Our family extends to Curtis and Keith our wishes for a very happy Father's Day. God Bless.
I just ordered one for, as you Texans say, my man. Can't wait until Father's Day!
God's timing is perfect. 18 months ago, at LPM in Seattle, I asked Keith during a rare Q&A, "What do you recommend for our spouses to read?" John Elderidge was the perfect answer for my guy that weekend, and "Deepening a Father's Heart" is JUST what he desires today. God's timing. Perfect.
Thank you, Curtis, and thank you LPM! Most of all, praise You, Jesus!

Thank you so much for offering this wonderful gift to our men. I followed the link but now I'm not so sure I actually did it right. (It's late--I should go to bed!)
I don't believe I clicked the little box that said something to the effect of "I would like to receive this month's gift." (or some such thing). Hopefully I didn't need to and will receive it for my darlin' husband.
If I don't get a copy--I still count it a blessing to support your ministry.
Many Blessings,
Lisa
Great idea and it sounds like perfect resource. Gift for the Daddys, and gift for the Mommys at my "Win It Wednesday." :) Begins now.
I would love to get this for my son; his baby is due at New Year's.
Babies are wonderful, but his girlfriend found out she was pregnant about a month after they broke up. She is angry and hurt and planning an abortion. She has moved several states away to be with her family, and isn't communicating with anyone here.
Please, can you pray for this baby and for my son? And for the girl; we care about her, my son is willing to raise the baby, and I don't want to see her hurt by a bad decision made in anger.
Thank you.
Thanks for clarifying the "donation" issue. I wasn't sure, but now I can't wait for payday to order this for my AWESOME husband! He loves Beth's stuff, but he's too much man for some of her Bible study questions (he's tried). Peace,
Kim Feth in Apex, NC
Beth, taking you at your word on the "any amount" thing; wish it could be much much more. You've been such a blessing to me...
Looking forward to see what Curtis has come up with...of course, I'll peek before I give it away! :)
Thank you Curtis! I'm so anxious to get this - my husband will love it!
Got it in today...looks great! Will let you know how the hubby likes it for Father's Day!
Bless you for the devotional Mr. Curtis Jones
Many prayers have been asked for our men to be the head our homes
We thank the Lord you've written this in time for Father's Day
May the devotional point our men to knowing and doing life God's way
I pray that Deepening a Father's Heart
For all men, godly wisdom and His way impart
Thank you Lord that Curtis is serving our men
Draw them to you Lord and keep them from sin
Amen.
My husband loved the book for Father's Day!!! He said, "Now this is the type of Bible Study men need right here." Music to my ears, and yours as well, I hope.
Thanks, Curtis!!!
I still haven't gotten mine. =( I wanted to give it to my dh for father's day. =( Let me know if it's still coming.
HannahTurner74@hotmail.com
Thanks!
So glad I saw this on your website. My husband just said he wanted to grow in God's word and it sounds like this is just the thing for him! God is so good in the way he works. Of course it was no coincidence that I happened across this book!
