Voices of the Faithful: Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving Around the World

Note: This is a post from my previous blog.

Voices of the Faithful: Inspiring Stories of Courage from Christians Serving Around the World
Thomas Nelson, 2010
English, 480 pages


I am generally not very impressed with devotional books because there tends to be little meat. While I found nothing inherently wrong with this book doctrinally, it was also light on content. I appreciated the emphasis on missions, and the monthly themes that gave more consistency than I have seen in many other books of this nature, but I would have preferred to have heard more in-depth stories of the missionaries involved rather than just the little snippets. 

My recommendation would be to not use this as the sole source of devotional material. The readings for each day are short, and it would be most beneficial to spend time in true study of the Bible itself. Since this book is divided into monthly themes, and verses are given at the top of each page, I would suggest supplementing with a more thorough study of the verses given and/or the topic of the month. 

Note: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review from BookSneeze.
