Voices of the Faithful: Book 2-Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving Around the Word-Book Review
Inside the pages of Voices of the Faithful: Book 2-Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving Around the Word you’ll hear the voices of over 300 different missionaries from around the world.
The book brings awareness to missionary work, people in other countries with difficult living conditions and a wordview perspective of the Christian faith-all through the eyes and ears of the missionaries. Since the first book was so popular, this second book is already gaining popularity. This second book is introduced by Beth Moore and compiled by Kim P. Davis.
As you read Voices of the Faithful: Book 2-Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving Around the Word, you’ll find a three-part daily devotion for each day of the calendar year. Daily devotions begin with scripture verses in several translations-reminding us that there is more than one Bible translation. Next is a short testimony from missionaries working in the International Mission Board (IMB). Finally, a short prayer reminds us to pray for those serving God through missionary work.
Unlike other devotional books, the purpose of this book is to remind Christians to pray daily for missionaries. All royalties from Voices of the Faithful: Book 2-Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving Around the Word support the work of the International Mission Board (IMB).
The book is beautifully designed from cover to cover, page to page. Each month the book focuses on a specific theme and the back of the book contains an index by month and theme. A second index identifies specific scripture verses. When I studied John 17:17 for my Women’s Bible Study, for example, I looked in the index and found the same verse in this devotions book and used it to enhance my daily study. The book serves many functions:
- As a reminder to pray for missionaries
- As a reminder to spend daily devotional time with God
- To bring awareness to the needs of others around the world
- To educate us on the living conditions of people in other countries
- To financially support the International Mission Board (IMB)
If you have an interest in international missionary work, then you’ll thoroughly enjoy the contents of this beautiful book. Voices of the Faithful: Book 2 would also be an excellent gift for:
- Graduation gift for a college student
- Birthday gift for a person who likes history
- Pastor gift
- Christmas gift for a family member or friend
After reading the 366 devotionals inside this book, you’ll feel comfortable knowing that you’ve prayed daily for the missionaries and the people they serve. I invite you to read these inspiring stories of courage from Christians serving around the world in the name of Jesus.
