A book of Christian wisdom, comfort, and strength derived from the Bible specifically for military personnel and their families during times of deployment.
There is much preparation made in advance of an upcoming deployment, but sadly spiritual readiness rarely makes it to the check-off list. While war may inflict injuries on the souls of our service members, faith is the balm that can help the healing process and make a difference when living under difficult circumstances.
Faith Steps for Military Families explores the themes of the fifteen Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120–134) in the Bible’s book of Psalms. These special psalms reveal God’s wisdom about common military concerns, such as living in unfriendly environments, enduring desperate times, and coping with unforeseen conditions. They also touch on many other issues faced by twenty-first century military families, such as family resiliency, trusting in God during times of fear, and a deeper understanding of God’s nature as protector, keeper, and the night watchman.
