Book Review: Voices of the Faithful Book 2 by Kim Davis & Beth Moore


This devotional has given me goosebumps as I have read the true and amazing stories of what God is doing all over the world through ordinary people like you and I who have chosen to obey Him and go to other countries and share his gospel!! Voices of the Faithful Book 2 has 366 daily devotions from more than 300 missionaries who share their stories and let us become aquainted with real people whose lives have been changed by God. Written and compiled by Beth Moore and Kim Davis, this is the second devotional written with true accounts from International Mission Board missionaries who have dedicated their lives to following Jesus wherever he leads. Each day begins with a scripture verse and is followed by a short, true story from a missionary. These are truly uplifting and amazing accounts of God-moments! Each devotional ends with a short prayer. This book will encourage you to pray for global missions and also make you think about how you can be a "missionary" right where you are now. There are so many people who need God where you are today.....open your eyes and ears to see where he can use you! A complimentary copy of this book was provided to me by Thomas Nelson and BookSneeze to read and review. All opinions here are my own.

Book Review: Then Sings My Soul by Robert J. Morgan


What an inspiration to read about the history of songs and what events occurred for the author to write them! My personal favorite was the hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" by Horatio G. Spafford. This book is filled with 150 different songs and the stories behind each one of them. They vary from favorite hymns to Easter and Christmas songs. I learned many things while reading this book. I never realized that "Jesus Loves Me" was written by a woman. I also liked the way that this book was laid out. The left hand side of each page contains the actual music and lyrics to the song, while the right hand side has the story behind the song. The song page is large enough that if you wanted to play the music, you would have no problem reading the music notes. It is comparable to the size in a church hymnal. Each story also begins with a scripture verse that parallels the song. The pages have a deckle edge which adds to the uniqueness of this book.

I plan to pass "Then Sings My Soul" along to the musicians at our church and then place it in the church library for others to read. I received a complimentary copy of this book from BookSneeze and Thomas Nelson to read and review. All opinions of this book are my own.
