Anchored in the Word: Forty Bible Verses that Shaped My Life

What happens when God interrupts your plans with His?

On the eve of his fortieth birthday, lawyer and public servant Kow Essuman began a forty-day fast to thank God for forty years of grace, favour, and protection. Near the end of that fast, during a midnight prayer, he heard a clear instruction: "Write a book about forty Bible verses that have shaped your life."

Anchored in the Word: Forty Bible Verses That Shaped My Life is the result of that moment of obedience - a heartfelt devotional and spiritual memoir that reflects on the Scriptures that have guided Kow through every season of life: times of triumph and testing, waiting and renewal, leadership and surrender.

Each chapter centers on a powerful verse - from "Seek first the kingdom of God" to "All things work together for good." Through personal stories, biblical insight, and practical lessons, Kow reveals how God's Word became his constant anchor, keeping him grounded in faith, purpose, and hope.

More than a devotional, this book is a testimony of divine faithfulness and the transforming power of Scripture.Readers will be inspired to reflect on their own journeys and to rediscover the strength and peace that come from living a life rooted in God's Word.

Whether you are seeking encouragement, clarity, or a deeper relationship with God, Anchored in the Word will remind you that every season - even the unexpected ones - is part of His perfect design.
