This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT).
enLIVEn Devotional Ministry will be taking submissions for our next devotional anthology, Kissing Guilt Goodbye. All proceeds of this book will go to world missions in the Himalayas. If you are interested in submitting a devotional, please email us through our contact page.
enLIVEn Devotionals are personal stories from our writers’ lives, which God uses to enrich understanding and deepen spiritual maturity. These stories become a springboard for our writers to explore the insight and freedom they gain from their experiences. Our devotionals are not critical; rather, they are used to encourage and enlighten our readers through honesty and love.
Please incorporate at least one Bible verse and designate the translation used. Devotionals should be anywhere from 700-1000 words. If we accept your submission, we may do some light editing. You keep all rights to your devotional except in regard to its incorporation into the anthology. An e-contract will be sent to each writer whose devotional has been accepted. The contract must be digitally signed, so the devotional can be included.
Our theme for this book is Kissing Guilt Goodbye. We have been given forgiveness, mercy and grace in Jesus and through His sacrifice on the Cross. We don’t have to live in shame or defeat anymore. The devotionals in this anthology will be about claiming victory over guilt. Guilt comes in all forms (guilt from past mistakes, guilt as a mother or father, guilt in not being good enough, etc.). However, according to God’s Word, we have freedom over guilt because Jesus didn’t come to condemn us. He came to free us from shame with the power of His Holy Spirit!
Our writers will encourage readers with this revelatory truth using real-life examples from their life and biblical references from the Bible. Let us unite with one voice declaring that guilt will no longer bully us from God’s best. As we learn to walk in freedom from guilt, we can also support world missions and the furtherment of the Gospel to the outreaches of the world!
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death” (Romans 8.1-2 NLT).
Please look at a few of our published devotionals to get a feel for the format. The end of every devotional includes a Bible verse, a prayer (abide) and a call to action (Overflow). Include a short bio (less than 300 words), author photo and your social media links.
Check out the enLIVEn BLOG for examples.
We are accepting submissions.
We are excited to have your devotionals added to this ministry. Our words can be the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need!
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV).

I have a devotional that might fit both books. Although, it is a little short as far as word count, I would like to at least have you look at it.
Thank you,
