Joel Fortinos and August Gold are co-founders of Sacred Center, New York, and the authors of The Prayer Chest. He is a vice president at Penguin Group, and she is senior minister at Sacred Center and author of several award-winning children's books. This paperback combines 365 short verses from every book in the Bible with a daily affirmation prayer. Fortinas and Gold have blended the old and the new in this text which is designed to encourage a fresh appreciation for Scripture as a "vitamin that will bring health and energy into your life." The authors suggest memorizing verses from the Bible and then using the affirmation prayer "to seal the promise of the verse between you and God." Here are a few examples:
