Voices of the Faithful

Do you have the courage... the faith... the fire? Loving the world like God does involves extreme sacrifice. Living the passionate, courageous life Jesus challenged us all to live also has radical effects, demonstrated in these 366 true accounts of fellow believers from around the world: A Christian claims the names of God at knifepoint- and lives to tell about it... Prayer revives a coma victim, in defiance of village witch doctors... A former Muslim finds forgiveness in the Jesus she denied... Prayerwalking college students lay a foundation for spiritual revival in West Africa... If you're bored with your comfort-fit Christianity, if you're ready for God to shake you awake, then take the challenge. Find out in these pages what on earth God is doing in your generation... and discover your role in making a difference in the world.

A brand-new year's worth of inspiring stories from the front lines of faith - 366 new devotions from missionaries around the globe. In these pages, you'll hike mountain paths, jolt down rutted desert roads, and pick your way through teeming markets and crowded urban slums. You'll meet boisterous children, worried parents, anxious teens, and curious seniors-all hungry, whether they know it or not, for the Good News. You'll witness moments of looming danger and crushing heartache, moments of shining hope and pure miracle. You'll be inspired anew by those who dare to obey God's call to take His story to the ends of the earth. And you'll be encouraged to pray for those who dare to open their hearts not only to the message but also to the One who calls and sustains them. The art of any story is the truth that it paints. I pray you'll find this book chock-full of truth. I pray that every single entry causes words of Scripture to jump off the page and onto the pavement of authentic human experiences, causing you not only to see their lives differently but also to change the way you see your own. - from the Introduction by Beth Moore All royalties for the Voices of the Faithful series support the work of the International Mission Board.
