Daring Devotion: A 31-Day Journey with those who Lived God's Promises
“Could God use me like He used Hudson Taylor, Amy Carmichael or Jim Elliot? Can my life count for God like Mary Slessor’s or William Carey’s lives? Have I even heard of George Liele, Darlene Deibler Rose, or James O. Fraser?”
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.
This 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.
“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
“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
“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
“When I first read my friend M. R. Conrad’s new book Daring Devotion my first thought was, 'Why haven’t we had a book like this before?' A 31-day devotional using brief missionary biographies to challenge our devotion to Christ and His mission is such a great idea. But Conrad is not content to simply inform us—he pushes us to look at our devotion in the light of the historic devotion of our missionary heroes. Buy this book for yourself and give it as gifts to those you love!”
—Mark Vowells, missions professor, director of The Center for Global Opportunities
"This new missionary devotional from M. R. Conrad is chock-full of inspiring quotes and anecdotes from missionary biographies, as well as strong Bible teaching. I absolutely love it, and I'm so glad Church Works Media gets to publish it."
—Chris Anderson, author and songwriter, vice president for global advancement, Biblical Ministries Worldwide
