Voices of the Faithful

OUR HOLY FATHER USED THIS BOOK TO BRING THE WOMEN OF OUR CHURCH TOGETHER NOT ONLY IN PRAYER BUT IN MISSIONS. IT WAS A REASON TO GET TOGETHER ONCE A MONTH AND SHARE STORIES. WE ORDERED 25 BOOKS AND THEN ORDERED 10 MORE. WE NOW HAVE 35 WOMEN OF THE CHURCH WORKING TOGETHER, PRAYING TOGETHER AND REACHING OUT WHICH IS SOMETHING OUR CHURCH WAS STUGGLING WITH. THANK YOU AND WHAT A WONDERFUL BOOK, MOST OF THE WOMEN COULDN'T STOP AND READ ON AND ON NOT WANTING TO STOP. THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR DIRECTION AND THANK YOU BETH MOORE AND MISSIONARIES FOR MAKING THIS BOOK. IT NOT ONLY CHANGED OUR CHURCH BUT OUR LIVES. (WE WERE NEVER MUCH ON MISSIONS BUT WE SURE ARE NOW!) GOD'S BLESSING ON ALL OF YOU. A SISTER IN CHRIST.... MARILYN

If you are looking for a devotional book that will broaden your prospective about missionairies; this is the book. Beth Moore has an introduction at the beginning of each month. The daily devotionals are grouped together into topics that change each month. I started reading the devotions in September. October was on spiritual warfare. I was amazed at the depth of the content. You will be suprised that some of these beliefs still exist. We are so caught up in our own little worlds that we do not have a clue about the world around us. Each day has a scripture to read, a story, and a prayer to use. The missionaries are identified mostly by initials but you are given the region that the missionary lives in. My Sunday School class is using the devotionals before our lesson on Sundays. We take turns presenting the text that usually works right along with our lesson on that particular Sunday. I have ordered the book for some of my friends and they love it also.

Missionaries are faced with many uncertainties when entering the field. Reading the day-to-day devotions, the reader gets an very intimate look of how God works in the lives of people who are faced with dangers, sickness, atrocities, and religious persecution. He is truly great and I am blessed to have read this collection. There is a total of 366 devotions (even one for Feb. 29th!), each being a different story and from all parts of the world. Some stories include (taken from the book jacket) - A Christian claims the name of God at knifepoint- and lives to tell about it... - Prayer revives a coma victim, in defiance of village witch doctors - An abused 7-year old asks, "Do you have any pills that would give me hope?" - Prayerwalking college students lay a foundation for spritiual revival in West Africa - A former Muslim finds forgiveness in the Jesus she denied. A great collection of true-life stories. Missionaries go all over the world to do His work and many come back with amazing stories to tell. You'll be amazed what these people go through, espeically when we worry about the day-to-day. Perhaps this book will even help you to know if you want to be a missionary or not. If you've been entertaining the idea, then this book may help.

If you want to understand what God is doing in the world and in the lives of Christians you should read this devotional . It has some great stories and is written by Missionaries. Beth Moore co authored it but I am sure she would be the first to tell you the stories were writen by the sweat and blood of the missionaries on the field for God. I love this what a great gift for CHRISTmas eternal Life.

This is a wonderful devotional book! If you have a heart for missionaries,and their service to God this book will enlighten you to their joys and struggles in the field of missions.Beth Moore includes inspirational words each month.
