For thirty-one days, step back in time and see how God worked in and through men and women like you. Read their stories. Hear their own words. Feel their heartbeat. Experience their struggles. Get closer to their God. Discover the source of their strength in the promises of God’s Word.\nThis devotional book is a gateway to spiritual growth through the truths of God’s Word and the examples of those who lived God’s promises. A. W. Tozer wrote, “Next to the Holy Scriptures the greatest aid to the life of faith may be Christian biography.” Daring Devotion taps into the power of truth and testimony. This book will enrich both your personal time with God and your family’s devotional time.\n“Here is a book I would love to put into the hands of young adults in my church so that they see that men and women who have left their mark on the mission field were like us in every way, except in their devotion to the God who called them. We need to get rid of our lackluster Christianity in order to fulfill our individual callings, too. This book might be a brief 31-day journey, but M. R. Conrad has packed it with spiritual dynamite. Read it prayerfully. It might change your life—forever!” (Conrad Mbewe, pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church and Founding Chancellor of the African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia)\n“This book should come with a warning: ‘Danger, you will forever be hooked on missionary biographies.’ This 31-day venture into the lives of missionaries will inspire, convict, and motivate you to greater heights of devotion and commitment to the Great Commission.” (Paul Seger, General Director of Biblical Ministries Worldwide)\n“In a simple yet rich way, M. R. Conrad has done a fabulous job of sharing the past in order to stir us about the future. I have no doubt that juniors all the way to senior adults will benefit from this book. Be ready to be uplifted, and be ready to wipe tears as you read of God’s faithfulness.” (Matt Herbster, former director of The Wilds Camp and current missionary in Asia)

Theology That Sticks: The Life-Changing Power of Exceptional Hymns

Anderson,Chris

Religion & Spirituality

For thirty-one days, walk with those who walked with God. 
How could God use me? I am only a programmer. I am only an engineer. I am only a housewife. I am only a student. I am only...just the kind of person God might use—someone who needs God's strength and knows it. 
God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things for Him. How did a shoemaker from rural England influence Tahiti, an island he never even visited? How did a an artist with heart problems launch a gospel work in the scorching heat of northern Africa? How did a schoolteacher start an evangelistic educational movement for women across India? 
In this 31-day devotional book, catch a glimpse of what God did through everyday believers like William Carey, Lilias Trotter, Samuel Zwemer, Ann Judson, Oswald Chambers, Gladys Aylward, and many more who followed God in missions across the world. None were superheroes. All found their strength through dependence on God.\nEndorsements: 
“Conrad’s first book—Daring Devotion—was a gift to God's people. Can I suggest that Daring Dependence is an even greater gift? These glimpses into the lives of gospel servants, in a wide range of circumstances, illustrate God's true faithfulness to those who depend upon Him. Men and women of various nationalities, backgrounds, and ministries show us what it means to depend upon God in weakness. Insightful comments and reflection questions ending each day's reading effectively guide us to a daring dependence upon Christ. Daring Dependence is a powerful tool of encouragement for all those laboring in God's harvest.” 
—Forrest McPhail, missionary to Cambodia and regional director for Asia, Australia, and Oceania, Gospel Fellowship Association Missions 
“The world suffers from an annoying surplus of social media influencers who choreograph adventures to serve their vapid aim of winning themselves more followers. A Christian's adventures are better because the mission is better: to follow Jesus and win Him more followers. Conrad’s enthralling snapshots and well-aimed reflections foment in me the kind of dependent daring I need more of each day.” 
—David Hosaflook, missionary to Albania, author, and founder and executive director of the Institute for Albanian and Protestant Studies 
"Encouraging and convicting! Powerful missionary stories with applications for my daily life. These men and women were not great and mighty people but dependent people, trusting in the same great and mighty God we serve today." 
—Hannah Bender, missionary nurse and director of educational services, Medical Missions Outreach 
“In some ways, this missions devotional could serve as a history of Anglo-American missions of the past two centuries. Beginning with William Carey, that iconic missional figure of the late eighteenth-century, it takes the reader on a month-long journey of the way that ‘great things’ (to cite Carey) have been attempted for God by men and women who were flat-out dependent on our glorious Lord. Informative, stirring, challenging, it is a needed reflection—not only for anyone thinking of being a vocational missionary, but also for those who wish to support such in prayer, fasting, and finances." 
—Michael A. G. Haykin, author and professor of church history, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
