“The daily grind of life has a way of draining our souls and clouding the reason and purpose God has for our lives. Christian has given us a tool that not only lifts your spirit, but clears the fog of why you are here and what God wants to do in your life. If you are in need of a second wind, and who isn’t, Second Wind is a breath of fresh air!”

Dr. James T. Gross, West Conroe Baptist Church

 

Second Wind by Christian Collins is a wonderful devotional book designated to encourage busy people of all ages in their daily walk with the Lord. Each day includes a quote from a notable person, then a devotional word of wisdom from Christian, closing with a key scripture to meditate on. Christian’s material is exceptionally original and inspirational. This is an excellent way to start or end each day!”

Dr. Dave and Betty Anderson, Grace Theological Seminary and Montgomery County Eagle Forum

“Everyone needs God every day, and Second Wind provides a daily devotional to stay connected to God’s Word. Michelle and I find our days are better when we start and end the day with the Word of God. I look forward to adding Second Wind to our daily reading and encourage you to do the same. Our strength comes from God, and we are grateful for Christian’s new book that speaks biblical truths into the lives of others.”

Gordy and Michelle Bunch, Owners of the Woodlands Financial Group, Chairman of The Woodlands Township Board

“A ‘second wind’ is defined as ‘a new strength or energy to continue something that is an effort.’ Many times, runners will run with partners who can provide just the right amount of encouragement and challenge to help them find that new strength and energy to run the race before them, especially when it is difficult. Christian Collins is that running partner for you and me in the Christian life, which the Apostle Paul likened to a race. In Second Wind, Christian gives us a daily dose of verses from God’s Word, inspiring quotes, insightful illustrations from real life, the personal encouragement to help us find the second wind. Each daily devotional is brief but meaningful, removing any excuse of “not enough time” to not start your day off right. This is one of those books you will want to buy several copies to give as gifts as a way to encourage others.”

— Reverend Scot Wall, Capitol Commission and Magnolia Bible Church

“Devotional classics are somewhat antiquated, difficult, and often out-of-touch. Christian Collins has redefined the devotional with Second Wind, a daily guide to breaking through the chatter of a 24/7 world and entering into the peace that only God can give. Insightful, meaningful, purposeful—the messages found in this book will draw you into the abundant life Jesus has for you. You will want to buy it, read it, and share it. Most importantly, through God you will find your second wind to take the next step, climb the next mountain, and embrace the possibilities God has for you.”

— Pastor Ken Gurley, First Church of Pearland

“Our true and proper purpose is worship, prayer, and meditation focused on our merciful God as Paul wrote in Romans. With a few sentences of meditation each day, Christian captures the essence of an attentive focus on worship in spending quiet and purposeful time with our loving and gracious Father. God is pleased when our worship is thoughtful. With notable quotes and key Bible verses, Christian leads us into reverent meditation in a wonderful book that guides us day-by-day and year-to-year in reflection on God our maker. Second Wind will always be close at hand in my home.”

— Lt. Gen. Steve Hummer, US Marines (Retired)

 

“Christian is an up-and-coming Christian leader who has developed a wonderful resource for believers from all walks of life to be encouraged. In just a few moments a day, this book will inspire and challenge Christ followers to draw closer to Him and dig deeper into His Word. In the incredible hectic schedules of most people in our time, anyone can in a few brief minutes use this outstanding tool to start the day, finish it, or both, stronger in their walk of faith in Jesus Christ!”

Reverend Dave Welch, Texas Pastors Council

“When it comes to serving people and giving back, Christian doesn’t only talk the talk, he walks the walk. He was there with me at Caney Creek Cowboy Church day in and day out, serving the people of Montgomery County during Hurricane Harvey. I have so much respect and admiration for this young man and love him. In this book, you will find that God has a plan, and Christian helps you understand you’re a part of that plan. I highly recommend everyone get this book and read it. ”

Pastor Mark Grimes, Caney Creek Cowboy Church

“Christian is both insightful and inspirational. This daily devotional is saturated in Scripture, making Second Wind not only a breath of fresh air in a spiritually polluted culture, but also an instrument of grace employed by the Holy Spirit to purify our condolences and breathe life into our souls.”

— Reverend Jason J. Nelson, Rose Hill United Methodist Church

“Early in ministry, I learned the importance of spending time every day with God. Christian has provided an excellent tool to serve as a catalyst for busy people to pause, think, and pray, about God’s will for their lives before launching another day. In less than two minutes each day, Christian provides healthy nourishment for the soul using anecdotes from famous people and insights from Scripture.”
