Dead-Ringer Devotionals

An idiom is a phrase so much in the common usage that it takes on a meaning of its own.


When it’s “raining cats and dogs,” we know that it’s pouring rain outside; no actual cats and dogs are falling. We can even paint a picture in our minds when someone lets you know they “heard it through the grapevine.”


Idioms can be important and powerful “picture painters,” representing ideas we all share and easily remember.


Chrissie Forehand has harnessed the power of idioms in Dead-Ringer Devotions. Her homey stories, mixed with popular idioms to teach timeless, biblical lessons will stick with you through the day and beyond. Whenever you hear someone say, they’re going to “blow off some steam,” “bite the bullet,” or “pull out all the stops” you’ll be reminded of Chrissie’s devotion and, more importantly, of the biblical lesson represented by this simple, universal idiom.


Jesus spoke to the people in parables; He painted a picture in something they all understood. His parables were idioms of the day.


Dead-Ringer Devotions speak to us the same way today. Enjoy, learn, and remember when you experience timeless biblical truths in a language we can all understand and relate to in Dead-Ringer Devotions.
