Some friends and I went through this book together while doing a special project in which we wanted to learn more about missionaries' lives, being missionaries, and the practical side of missions work. After doing some research, we settled on this book as our devotional, and I couldn't have been happier with the choice!It's broken up into a 5-days-a-week devotional, with each day having a section for praise/thanksgiving, repenting/reflecting on what the Lord is convicting our hearts of, asking the Lord for things, and yielding to what the Lord has shown us through our time with Him that day. Scriptures accompany each section, and each day you pray for missionaries in a different country, which I really liked. The focus of this devotional, as opposed to so many devotion books out there today, is NOT on self. It isn't focused on ME and MY wants and needs, but rather drawing you in to a deeper relationship with God through focusing on OTHERS. I can't say enough about how amazing and refreshing it has been to read through this book, and be encouraged to think of others before myself, to focus on the Lord rather than my needs. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
I gave this book to my son as a tool for him to use during his training to become a missionary. He is really enjoying it and states that each day brings him encouragement. He also likes that fact that at the end of each devotional you are encouraged to pray for another country and the missionaries serving in those countries.
This was a little unexpected because I didn't realize how devotional it was personally but it is a great focus for a few minutes a day. To be mindful of the people answering the call to 'GO' all over the world and a few minutes for you to look at your own heart as well.
It is interesting and you can get a feel for what the Missionaries go through. I would definitely recommend it.
Best prayer devotion I have ever used!
