“I now measure my friendship with Dave Harvey in decades, not just years. That’s what makes this new book from my brother so special. Thoughtful, faithful, creative reflection on the biblical text permeates each of the forty devotions. As I read along, I remembered Dave’s stories, struggles, tears, trust, commitment to the gospel, and love for Jesus that I have personally witnessed, which make this book much more than good; they make it real. It is an honor to recommend Ashes to Glory to you.”
Scotty Smith, Founding Pastor/Pastor Emeritus of Christ Community Church, Franklin, TN
“This forty-day experience from my friend Dave Harvey does more than prepare you to celebrate Easter. It arrests your heart and compels you to live every day in the power and hope of the risen Christ. We all need to turn our eyes from life’s pressures, disappointments, and distractions toward the sufficiency, beauty, and victory of Jesus. These pages present a greater vision of Christ and will draw your heart again to the power that sustains and shapes you to finish well through deeper dependence and resilient faith.”
Daniel Henderson, Founder/President, Strategic Renewal
“My new favorite devotional—one I will read again and again! Ashes to Glory helps us see how Jesus is everything we need him to be. Deeply insightful, Harvey unpacks each day’s Scripture in a fresh and personal way, leaving me with much to reflect on and a greater affection for our Savior.”

“I often jump into each year, setting goals to optimize my life and work. But by mid-February, I see all the ways I fall short. The problem isn't the habits I adopt; it’s my limits and sin. Lent arrives in time to confront me with my frailty. This year, let Ashes to Glory guide you through these late-winter days. Here Harvey models slowing down, confessing our need, and setting our affections on the Savior’s beauty so that when Lent gives way to Easter’s flower-filled sanctuaries, we can receive it as a testament of God’s grace.”
Jared Kennedy, Managing Editor, Books and Curriculum, The Gospel Coalition; author of several books, including The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible and Big Thoughts for Tiny Tots
“What I love about Dave’s writing is what I love about Dave himself—it’s chock full of honesty, vulnerability, and sage wisdom. These forty Lenten devotions have the unique ability to bring you to the end of yourself while taking you distinctly to the foot of the cross. Deeply moving and resolutely hopeful, this is Dave offering us a heart shaped by suffering but never absent from resurrection.”
Ronnie Martin, Pastor-in-Residence, Redeemer Community Church, Bloomington, IN; director of leader care and renewal, Harbor Network; author of In the Morning You Hear My Voice
“My friend of thirty years, Dave Harvey, is a pilot of the soul. In this devotional he comes alongside you, helping you navigate the challenges of life—both internal and external—through the truth of Scripture and the hope of the gospel. Perfect for Lent but equally valuable at any time of year, this is a devotional to return to whenever you need guidance, truth and hope.”
Pete Greasley, Founder/Pastor Emeritus, Christchurch Newport, Wales
“Through biblical insight and shepherding care, Dave Harvey invites us into meaningful reflection, wonder, and prayerful response to the power of the resurrection. Ashes to Glory is a welcome companion for the season of Lent, but its transformational truths will resonate in every season of life.”
Joe Keller, Executive Pastor, Grace Baptist Church
