The structure of the devotional is thoughtfully designed to engage readers on a daily basis, and includes personal anecdotes from Tebow's life, biblical reflections and guided prayers.
Each week within the devotional is centred on a key theme, including joy, purpose, courage, vulnerability and value, all reinforced by specific scriptural promises.
Tebow elaborated: "This book is a guide to understanding who we are, who we've been created to be by first and foremost understanding the promises that God has made. I'm so excited for you to come alongside me on this journey."
Her latest book follows her memoir, "A Crown That Lasts" and a children's book, "Princess Paris Finds Her Purpose".
In an online interview, Tebow shared that she sees writing as an essential outlet that allows her to share personal insights while cultivating a dialogue around self-worth and faith amid changing circumstances.
"There's a calmness to this time. I've been really focussed on creating space for creativity, nesting and just being present."
She also shared: "There's so much noise in the world telling us who to be, how to look and what success should mean. This book is about stepping away from all that and stepping into God's truth. You can only know who you truly are when you understand who He is."
At 38 weeks pregnant, Demi-Leigh and her husband, former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, are eagerly anticipating the arrival of their baby girl.
Earlier this year, the couple celebrated their baby shower in the scenic Franschhoek, South Africa, creating cherished memories as they prepare for parenthood.

'Risked it all': Where is Nandipha Magudumana's husband?

Nandipha Maguduman's recent court appearance has left many South Africans questioning how and why she gave up her glamorous and successful life – and her marriage – to embark on a criminal spree with fellow-accused, Thabo Bester. The alleged couple are currently facing charges of orchestrating his 2022 prison escape, defrauding the public, and violating multiple bodies. They appeared at the Free State High Court for a pre-trial hearing, which has been postponed to 19 September. Their trial is set to begin on 10 November at the Bloemfontein High Court. With all eyes on Nandipha, many want to know where her other half, Mr Magudumana, is. Despite being a married woman, the celebrity aesthetics doctor allegedly embarked on an affair with Thabo Bester while he was behind bars for a rape and murder conviction in 2012. At the time, Nandipha was married to Mkhuseli Magudumana, who is a paediatric medical doctor. The former couple shares two daughters together: Ayana and Aziza. But according to an affidavit, Nandipha claimed she was Bester's 'customary wife.' In a tweet posted following her arrest, former friend Redi Tlhabi claims the couple divorced in 2022. However, conflicting reports claim that Nandipha is still legally married to Mkhuseli Magudumana, who has kept a low profile since her arrest. Where is Nandipha Magudumana's husband Mkhuseli? Images via Instagram: @drnandi/ Showmax In Nandipha's 2024 bail application, she revealed that she is currently separated from her husband. In a sworn statement, Nandipha claimed that she met Thabo Bester at Wits University in 2006, where he allegedly studied theology. Official reports have revealed that Bester only has a grade 7 education. Nandipha also claimed that she and Bester began dating in 2017, and he paid lobola for her in 2020. While Nandipha Magudumana's frail appearance has concerned many South Africans, others have claimed that she is merely playing the public empathy card. Some even insinuated that she was no better than Thabo Bester himself. In court appearances, Nandipha Magudumana has appeared to read her Bible, pray, and sing, all while under the watchful eye of clicking cameras. Months after her arrest, the mom-of-two was in tears when her attorney claimed that Thabo Bester had 'forced' her to skip the country with her. In a letter written during Women's Month, Nandipha also claimed that she was abused by many men in her life, possibly including Bester.

Umhlanga actress inspires youth to be the change

Umhlanga actress inspires youth to be the change 'The Changemakers is a non-profit organisation that I started a year ago. It's dedicated to helping people and inspiring others to do the same. I wanted to do my part to bring about real change in our country,' said Sukuram. Sukuram holds a BCom in accounting but her heart has always belonged to the arts, particularly acting. 'I've loved acting since I was a little girl. It allows people to explore different characters and stories, and connect on a deeper level.' While she's made strides in her acting career, becoming the first South African actress to appear in multiple Zee TV series, it's her work with The Changemakers that speaks volumes about her commitment to social justice. Also read: Greenwood Park youth celebrate leadership, diversity One of the organisation's standout initiatives is a gender-based violence awareness campaign launched in 2023. 'We partnered with EnviroSpecSA to visit schools and teach girls self-defence. Self-defence is a vital skill as it empowers girls to protect themselves and gives them confidence.' Balancing a career in entertainment with activism isn't easy, but Sukuram said time management and passion keep her grounded. 'I create a calendar that accommodates both my acting and NPO responsibilities. I prioritise what matters most, whether it's preparing for a role or planning our next outreach.' Youth Month, she said, is a powerful reminder of what young South Africans are capable of. 'To me, Youth Month acknowledges the important role we play in shaping the future. It's about recognising our potential and giving us the tools to lead.' She encourages other young people to speak up and take action in their communities. Watch: Gen Z shares what Youth Day means to them 30 years into democracy 'Use your voice. Use your talents. Whether it's art, music, or leadership, your passion can create change.' Through The Changemakers, Sukuram hopes to continue addressing a range of issues, from GBV to education, and dreams of one day helping thousands of South Africans. She wants it to be an organisation that's known for getting things done, for being effective and impactful. 'You as the youth of South Africa are the leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. Keep pushing boundaries, breaking barriers, and striving for greatness. Don't wait for change, be the change.'

Dire Warnings of TV's Handmaid's Tale

The Handmaid's Tale is television's groundhog day of utter misery. The Emmy-Award winning, six seasoned stretch of Margaret Atwood's novel... The Handmaid's Tale is television's groundhog day of utter misery. The Emmy-Award winning, six seasoned stretch of Margaret Atwood's novel is dystopian, sure, it's pretty well made, sure. But damn it these days it feels like the narrative's scratched the surface of a future we should all fear. Authoritarian fanatical fascism. And it's expletively scary. To enjoy or be frightened with the full impact of the story, binging it is best, and right now would be the best time to start if you had not already done so. Because neatly folded and packaged inside every episode is a glimpse of the future our children, even our generation, may end up with. In many ways it's Orwellian in its zoomed out state, but drilling deeper there's the kick-back against feminism as misogynistic swine return women to their single purpose function – breeding. And that's where it starts. It ends. And it stretched to maximum effect. In A Handmaid's Tale there are only five kinds of women: The Handmaid, The Martha (read maid and cook), The Jezebels (reserved for pleasure and prostitution) and the wives. Then there are the go-betweens like Aunt Lydia who do the cruel bidding of her penis-waving masters. It's all pretty bizarre until you take a step back and contemplate the reality the world has baked for itself. Men rule in God's name Men have gone back to rule the world in the name of God. And the tale amplifies everyone's biggest fears. Because in Gilead, once America, it's all about righteousness and old Testament godly anger and punishment. It's testosterone directed at everyone else but those anointed by the Lord to lead the world to a new kind of enlightenment. And I am sure you can start drawing parallels, right here. Because there are wars being waged in the name of God by self-righteous men right now. There are laws being made that impede personal liberties in the name of safety. Is The Handmaid's Tale the next chapter for humanity? Also Read: 'The Rookie' is no amateur of a show Think about this: Reproductive rights are being rolled back in some of the world's most developed democracies. Think MAGA. Elsewhere, it's remained a sin. Education is being censored, first in the name of woke, and then in the name of, well, whatever else. Terms like like traditional values are hot right now, but at a stretch it could shape shift into Gilead at any time. It's a country that wasn't built overnight. It was constructed through fearmongering, through media distraction and through apathy. A bent reality That's the genius of The Handmaid's Tale. The story takes evens from history and bends them into a reality that the characters face day in and day out. And nobody's dressed like nazis in the show. Instead, the uniforms represent piety, modesty and absolute obedience. The women are dressed like old time church aunties and men in Wall Street suits. But cross the line, and you'll hang from the wall. The show is grim, and it's frustrating because there can be no winners here. It's war in the name of the Creator and the cruelty of desperate men who believe in their own salvation. It's a rebellion against the hyper-feminism of the previous century where generations of men felt and became emaciated and today, possibly struggle with their own identities, Is The Handmaid's Tale the outcome of this role confusion? Andrew Tate may think so. And it could be the consequence of unchecked undercurrents. But these are only some of the reasons and the questions that humanity should ask of itself today. And this is the reason that you should watch A Handmaid's Tale, binge it, understand it, and be frightened by the proximity of a reality not dissimilar to its dystopia and social myopia.
