This is a great companion book to Breathe. Our Bible study read Breathe and discussed it. Then we studied with Oxygen. It makes Bible study accessible, attainable, and rewarding!

This book completely revolutionized the way I study my Bible. It has taught me how to study in a way that is very personal. I now find myself looking forward to my Bible study time instead of rushing through it. Keri's insights have really helped me examine areas in my life that I need to work on. This devotional is accessible for many... You can put as little or as much time into it as you want. Enjoy!

Is the chaos of life getting you down? Is your to-do list drowning out the true joy you want to have? Author Keri Wyatt Kent invites us to “Come and rest in the presence of God,” as we seek His word in her latest book, a weekly devotional, Oxygen – Deep Breathing for the Soul.
I’m a mother and wife, with four kids and forty loads of laundry stressing me out almost on a daily basis. But I am also a child of God, and I know He wants more for me then to just get by, get done, and get going.
“The Bible offers us a chance to hang around with Jesus. To read a story about him and reflect on it deeply enough that it feels like we’re really with him,” Keri states, “which, in fact, we are.”
That’s what Oxygen is about, "…finding ways to simply spend time with Jesus… To slow down, just a few minutes at a time, to notice what Jesus is like and what he
has to say.”
With Oxygen, I can take just a few minutes a day, several times a week, and focus on one Bible verse. Keri takes one verse each week and delves into it deeply with varying readings and activities even a busy mom like me can do.
The activities include “deep listening,” “journaling,” and even a “breath prayer.” And each reading and activity can be accomplished in your own time frame, in any order you choose.
You tailor it to fit your lifestyle and schedule.
I am on week one of Oxygen, and am already seeing God work in me through this wonderful devotional in big and little ways. I feel closer to God when I am in His word, and that makes me a better wife and mom.
