I've always been fascinated by near-death experience stories. There's something about hearing that someone died, saw something on the other side, and came back to talk about it that I just can't look away from. Are they really seeing Heaven? What does it look like? What does it feel like to be in the presence of God? When I was offered a free copy of 18 Days in Heaven by Gabe Poirot for review, I said yes immediately. Stories like this always pull me in. Little did I know that by the time I sat down to read it, I'd be walking through some grief of my own. I lost my sweet girl Adah to feline GI lymphoma a few weeks after I said yes to the review, and reading a book about someone who visited Heaven and came back hit differently than I expected.

Sixteen pounds doesn't sound like much. I know that's probably the first thing you thought.

There's something about seeing your name in print next to a Scripture verse that stops you right in your tracks. I've read the Bible my whole life, but I'll be honest: it's easy to skim over familiar verses like they're just beautiful words on a page. When I got my personalized copy of the He Calls You By Name devotional, though, something clicked differently. Suddenly, that same verse felt like it was written just for me, because my name was literally right there in it. This isn't your typical devotional book. He Calls You By Name (also known as HCYBN) is a unique, personalized experience that weaves your name through over 100 passages of Scripture, turning well-known verses into something that feels deeply intimate.
