"This version is a reprint of the original 1997 More Power To Ya Devotional covering recordings between 1972 and 1997."
For more than five decades, Petra's music has given voice to a generation hungry for truth, courage, and the unmistakable presence of God. This 52-song devotional invites you to journey through some of Petra's most impactful songs from their first 25 years of ministry - unpacking the stories behind the lyrics, the Scriptures that inspired them, and the timeless messages they still carry today.
Each devotional pairs a Petra song with a short devotional, guiding you through themes of faith, perseverance, worship, and spiritual battle. Along the way, personal reflections are interwoven - moments of doubt, breakthrough, and grace that echo the heart-cries found in Petra's music. From the bold call of "This Means War!" to the tender reassurance of "More Power To Ya," to the driving hope of "Beyond Belief," these pages explore how God uses art, memory, and melody to shape our walk with Him.
Whether you grew up with Petra's anthems blasting through your headphones or you're discovering their message anew, this devotional will help you slow down, look up, and lean into the God who still speaks through songs - and through the stories of our own lives.
I have felt the desire to write this book for quite some time, and my decision to stop touring with the band allowed me the time. Over the many years of Petra's ministry, we have received countless letters from people, telling us how our song lyrics have made such a positive impact in their spiritual lives. We have always placed a great emphasis on making our lyrics biblically sound. We have even received letters from pastors who have used our lyrics as illustrations for their sermons. No greater compliment could be paid to us, and I want to give all the praise and glory to our Lord and God.
During the writing of this book, I was reminded over and over again of God's goodness toward us in allowing us to serve Him for so many years. I pray that the message of this book comes through loud and clear: You don't have to be in a band or speak from a pulpit to serve God! We serve Him every day of our lives when we faithfully follow Him. I hope these writings will bring back fond memories for you as they did for me. But most of all, I hope you are challenged to walk more closely with Jesus, serving Him with passion as the power of God's Word works in your life. More Power to Ya!
