Voices of the Faithful

A book of daily devotions written by missionaries from around the globe. Beth Moore lends her pen to the acknowledgements and introduction to get your year started off right. The devotions are short and easy to include in your morning routine. Each month is devoted to a different topic, i.e. spiritual warfare, witnessing and God's Word with an introduction to the topic by Beth.

I would recommend this book to anyone in your life. This book is not geared towards women as many of Beth's books are (and this book is not written by Beth). It is for anyone who needs a bit of encouragement to get out of their comfort zone and be challenged by what God has in store for their life.

Excellent Devotional

Jesus Calling: 365 Devotionals for Kids by Sarah Young is a great book for kids and adults alike. My daughter (8) and I have been using this for morning devotionals and it is just the perfect Word for the start of our day. The devotionals are short and written from Jesus' point of view - such a heart warming feeling in the morning with Jesus speaking directly to your heart even when you're trying to get out of the house on time. There are additional verses relating to the daily topic that the reader can use to dig deeper into The Word either right then or at a later time during the day. I would recommend this for pre-tween kids all the way through young adult. I have enjoyed the reminders of God's promises and love for me through this book.
