The Lion and the Bear
A 100-Day Guide for Facing Your Giants

Before God led David to fight Goliath, he sent him other challenging adversaries—specifically a lion and a bear—to prepare David for the big battle to come. In the same way, each challenge we face in life is preparation for the next, even if we'd much rather avoid conflict altogether, thank you very much.

Whether it's mean girl culture, peer pressure, a difficult home life, physical or emotional challenges, or the constant barrage of social media slights, young women today have plenty of lions and bears to contend with. This 100-day devotional from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Shankle and her college-age daughter Caroline is your guidebook for how to defeat those giants by trusting God one step at a time. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, Caroline helps you learn how to advocate for yourself, lead rather than follow, and develop the strength to never compromise on who God created you to be.
