    Southern Sunshine

    90 Devotions to Brighten Your Day and Bless Your Heart

    A devotional with Southern sayings and reflections on God's Word from a native Southerner

    For the days when life feels cattywampus, Dawn Wallis brings sassy Southernisms together with heartwarming wisdom straight from God's Word. Readers won't need to fix their hair or put on their Sunday best to open Southern Sunshine and find the light of encouragement for their day.


    Each page is an invitation to slow burn and draw closer to Jesus—even in life's messiest moments. In a heavy world, readers will be encouraged and delighted by devotions exploring the true meaning behind hilarious Southern phrases, such as



    • "bless your heart,"

    • "happier than a dead pig in a ditch,"

    • "madder than a wet hen,"

    • "Lord willing and the creek don't rise,"

    • and many more—enough for "a month of Sundays."


    Filled with the warmth of Southern wit and the truth of Scripture, this charming gift book will brighten anyone's day—and bless their heart in the best kind of way.
