Upper Room Devotionals

WHEN THE UPPER ROOM PRINTED the first batch of Prayers for Encouragement late in the year of 2006, no one suspected the impact that this booklet would have around the world. (Read original article.) Now, over 1/2 million copies later, it is being shared in 11 languages and throughout several continents. "The Little Red Book," as it is known in many places, is touching the lives of persons with HIV and AIDS and their caregivers in settings we cannot even imagine.
