Praise for Faith Deployed Again
Faith Deployed Again emanates from the heart of Christ and flows through military wives who have experienced the ordeals that all hold in common. You will find a hug from Jesus on every page that will give light to an otherwise shadowy day, or the strength and courage necessary to persevere when weakness threatens your soul. What you will then discover within these pages is that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is truly sufficient for your every need! Moreover you will find that you will have become a river of healing to those around youtransformed from encouraged to encourager.

Daily reminders of the truth we find in Gods Word are so important for a military spouse. In her new book, Faith Deployed Again, Jocelyn Green creates yet another wonderful opportunity for military spouses to focus on Gods truth while relating to the shared experiences of other spouses. Since I know many of these contributors personally, reading this book is like listening to friends over coffee and being reminded of the blessings God gives us even in the midst of the challenging season of deployment.

The deployed one isnt the only spouse facing battles. Faith Deployed Again provides real, honest, and transparent snapshots from spouses from every service and stage of deployment and life. Do you feel afraid, alone, abandoned, lost, depressed? Youll find tremendous encouragement within these pages. Marrying into the military and sacrificing during my deployment, my wife would have been greatly blessed through these powerful stories, inspiring quotations, and transformational truths. God is working in deep ways within our Armed Forces and families in the midst of the challenges of deployment. May this book take you deeper in Him, as it has for me.

Everyone needs a friend, and especially those who wait at home while their loved one deploys and so often to a dangerous and lonely place somewhere on the globe. Offering such a friend in Faith Deployed Again is author Jocelyn Green in her second work on this crucially important subject. This wonderful collection of timely meditations comes from fellow wives who have already been there on the spiritual battlefield of the home front and tasted the daily victories that only God can provide. Thank God for this timely book that fills a critical need in the lives of military families, and for Jocelyn Green and her fellow spiritual warriors faithfully engaged in support of those families and their deployed spouses.

Again, Jocelyn compiles the right mix of stories of military wives standing on the promises of God. This book brings godly help, encouraging stories, and new battle buddies into military wives lives for each battle both during and between deployments. We cant do it alone. In fact, we are not doing it alone, and Im so glad this book is a reminder of that: Gods presence is with us.
S TARLETT H ENDERSON , coauthor of 1001 Things to Love About Military Life and cofounder of Army Wife Network
Jocelyn Green has her finger on the pulse of military wives. She has been one, and she listens and connects to their heartfelt stories. Jocelyn knows how to communicate a hope-filled message to these warriors on the home front! The more we serve these heroic families, the more we realize the sacrifices they make on our behalf to protect our freedom. Read this book; buy additional copies and resource every military wife you can get it to. They will be blessed by your desire to speak life into their great hearts.
