If you haven’t already noticed the buzz on Facebook and Twitter, I am thrilled to announce that the highly-anticipated sequel to Faith Deployed: Daily Encouragement for Military Wives is here! Faith Deployed . . . Again has even more devotions in it, written by even more contributors from every branch of service. There is something in this book for everyone–even Blue Star Moms! I recognize that many military wives become Blue Star Moms when their sons or daughters enlist in the military, which ushers in a new range of challenges. So Faith Deployed . . . Again offers a bonus section of devotions written by and for mothers of service members. I’m sure it will encourage even those Blue Star Moms who are not also military wives. Get to know all the contributors here. Pictured below: Jocelyn Green and Kathy Guzzo hold their first copies of the book. (Kathy, a contributor to the book, was in Jocelyn's hometown of Cedar Falls, Iowa, for a writer's conference last week when the books arrived.)
Now here’s a sneak peak at what’s inside. More than 100 devotions are categorized by the following sections:
- Basic Training: Guiding Principles for Military Living
- Intimate Allies: Protecting Your Military Marriage
- Tour of Duty: Overcoming Deployments and Other Separations
- Soul Armor: Guarding Against Spiritual Attacks
- Stationed in Christ: Dwelling in the Lord, Near and Far
- In God’s Service: Living for the Lord
- Home Front Hope: Moving Forward in God’s Strength
- For Blue Star Moms: Trusting God with Your Service Member
There are so many topics in this new book that we didn’t cover in the first one. We go into marriage and deployments in more depth, we talk about infertility and miscarriage, reintegration, in-law dynamics, financial strain, insomnia and nightmares, care giving for a wounded warrior, finding healthy ways to cope, and much more. Find out more about the book here. I can say this because I didn’t write this book by myself: If you are a military wife, or a government contractor's wife, or a Blue Star Mom,you need to have Faith Deployed . . . Again on your nightstand. You will underline it, dogear it, highlight it. You will find that you are not alone in whatever you are dealing with. And most imporantly, you will discover that the Bible has something to say to you about exactly what you are experiecing right now. God has something to say to you. He cares about your life more than you can even imagine.
