Overview

For a long time, ingenious Australians and New Zealanders have been developing clever ideas and ways to make life easier.

Devotions from Downunder shares 26 invention stories behind some of our most iconic designs, such as the Hills Hoist, Victa lawnmower and the electric fence.

Each short devotion dives into what we can learn from these gadgets.

God doesn’t just leave us spinning; He has a plan for our lives. He heals our broken hearts, gives us boundaries to keep us safe and offers us rest in Him.

These devotions also offer life lessons, reminders to keep our cool, to never give up, to stay in rhythm with God and let our lights shine so others can see Jesus through us.
