"Voices of The Faithful" is a 365 day devotional book by Beth Moore that tells encouraging stories from Christians serving on the mission field around the world. Each month has a theme (Prayer, God's Grace, Persecution, Contentment are a few of the monthly themes) with the daily devotional revolving around that theme. Each daily devotion is written by a missionary and it also includes a scripture to read and a short prayer at the end. I really, really enjoyed reading through this book. It made me so much more aware of the struggles of being a missionary. It also gave me an opportunity each day to stop and pray for the specific missionary.
I have a close friend that is currently serving as a missionary in Canada. There is so much joy in the work that she is doing, but every day she has to walk on faith. Sometimes she never knows if there will be enough money at the end of the month to cover her expenses, but every month the Lord provides. I am really glad that Beth Moore put together this devotional book because it really opens the eyes of the readers to what missionaries really have to go through, especially those serving in high-risk areas.
