I Was There invites you into the biblical story through the eyes of ordinary people who encountered the living God—often unexpectedly, sometimes reluctantly, always profoundly. Written as a 40-day devotional, each entry places you inside a moment of Scripture, retold in the first person by someone who might easily have been overlooked: a bystander, a servant, a follower, a witness. These voices do not offer theological arguments or polished sermons. They offer perspective, presence, and honest reflection. Each day includes: A short narrative rooted in Scripture A passage for further reading Thought-provoking reflection questions A prayer section to help you respond personally This book is not about rushing through familiar Bible stories. It is about slowing down long enough to notice how God works through ordinary people—and how He may be at work in you. I Was There is designed for: Personal daily devotion Small group or study use Readers longing for a deeper, more reflective engagement with Scripture Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to it, or have walked with God for years, I Was There invites you to listen, reflect, and encounter the God who still meets people in ordinary moments.
