Jocelyn Green - Faith Deployed: Daily Encouragement for Military Wives

Jocelyn Green and the other writers in this book have connected to the hearts of military wives with compassion, grace, and hearts full of mercy. These writers have been there and have brought to us as readers compelling devotions to connect us to the Lord, our spouse, and the hope of a strong marriage during times of deployment. In all the work we have done in reaching out to military marriages, this resource is the best tool we have found for ministering to the spiritual needs of these heroic couples serving our great nation.

The messages of the Faith Deployed devotionals resonated with me greatly, on so many levels. As testified to by the contributing authors, we are all challenged with trusting in Gods plan, being married to the military, and loving our community in spite of fear, doubt, and depleted emotional reserves. But only by doing the first, trusting God, can we do the rest (over and over again). This book reminds usthrough wonderfully appropriate Bible passagesof specifically that point. It doesnt dismiss our hard times but gives us hope and instruction on how to break through. Im excited for all those who needed such a book as thiswho knows what new heights it can bring our relationships with God, our husbands, and our communities?

Good morale is essential to good military functioning, and an essential element to military morale is whats happening on the home front. Jocelyn Green writes to those thousands of military wives left to tend the home fires as their husbands deploy around the worldoften for more than a year at a time. Grounded in solid, practical, been-there advice and rooted in biblical truth, Faith Deployed should be essential reading for everyone whose husband serves in uniform.

Faith Deployed is one of those rare books that totally delivers what it promisesdaily encouragement for those brave, unsung heroes who are called to be military wives. I offer my highest commendation to Jocelyn Green and the other outstanding contributors to this book, who have done a masterful job of crafting this inspiring collection of practical wisdom. The life of a military wife is filled with persistent stresses, unending demands, and unique challenges that at times can seem overwhelming. This wonderful resource will powerfully connect with and impact the hearts of all those who courageously face these daily battles. I heartily recommend this book to youthe Christ-honoring, biblically rooted, and faith-strengthening words of encouragement you will find could change your life forever!

Certainly military wives need help and hope for their critical role in maintaining strong families, supporting their military man, and serving our nations future. In Faith Deployed, Jocelyn Green has focused the relevance of Gods Word on the realities of life as a military wife. I strongly recommend these doses of encouragement as a powerful antidote to the compassion fatigue so prevalent in todays military families. May the readers truly March on with strength, O my Lord (Judges 5:21).

Military wives daily face unique and multifaceted stresses as they seek to love their husbands and children in the midst of the ever-challenging, as well as the ever-rewarding, life they experience in the military community. These brave women deserve our nations gratitude and honor. They also deserve Jocelyn Greens wonderful book Faith Deployed, which richly and powerfully connects biblical principles to the varied rigors and blessings of their daily lives. A must-read not only for our military wives, but also for those who would seek to know, understand, and love them better.
