Voices of the Faithful, Beth Moore

Before this book, all I knew of Beth Moore was that she was an inspirational speaker for women, and that she's written some Bible studies. Although I haven't really read any of her works before now, I respect her as a Christian author because I know people who have benefited from her material. This book made me like her even more.

Voices of the Faithful is a daily devotional that invites readers to experience life through the eyes of various cross-cultural missionaries. Each day is a different person and place, and we read different trials, victories, mountain-top experiences, and scenes from everyday life from people who have chosen to live in another culture in order to bring the love of Jesus to another people. As I generally believe that the church needs to know more about those serving the Lord in other places (so that we may better support and pray for them, and thus partner in what God is doing around the world), I think this is a great book. I loved the introduction by Beth Moore, which explains her reasons for writing this book and her passion for missions. She sums it up this way, “Whether we’re called to pray, to give, to go on short-term mission trips or two-year mission stints, or to surrender entirely to career missions, we’re all called to the nations. For God so loved the world. Your tenure on this earth will be incomplete without engaging with God across the globe. Find out what on the earth God is doing in your generation… and join Him.” (p. xviii) I couldn’t agree more, Beth Moore. Couldn’t agree more.
