Peering through a Mist - A Moms Journey in Loss and Gods Grace

Stories of Faith and Courage From Firefighters and First Responders is a 365-day devotional book in the Battlefields and Blessings® series. With many stories from first responders who have “been there,” this book serves as a daily reminder that God is with you in even the most tragic calls. When armed with God’s protective shield and grounded in His word and prayer, you are never alone, because God is with you.

Christian first responders never arrive on scene alone. They have the Lord with them. This devotional collection, written by first responders, provides daily food for thought and prayers direct from their hearts. It is based on God's authoritative, never-changing Word and promises. The devotions relate on-scene and life experiences from those who give selflessly of themselves on a daily basis and have personally witnessed and felt God's hand in times of loss and tragedy, as well as during humorous and daily monotonous routine situations.

Some days you will weep as you identify with the authentic tragedy shared. At other times you'll laugh at situations that only other first responders can truly identify with. Each day you will learn how God can be your refuge and fortress on each and every call.

     Stories of Faith and Courage From Cops on the Street is a groundbreaking devotional book that demonstrates the vital difference men and women of faith make in law enforcement.  As this is a date-specific daily devotional, stories that relate to a specific date or event (9/11/2001, major weather catastrophes, "line of duty" deaths, etc.) are strategically placed on or near  the date  the event occurred.  This Battlefields and Blessings devotional book serves two purposes:

• It offers a glimpse in to what it's really like  to be in law enforcement while demonstrating the spiritual side of the law enforcement community
• It presents law enforcement in a positive light as a career path filled with men and women who care deeply for the communities they serve

     Stories run the gamut from light-hearted (a rookie who passes out while helping deliver a baby) to not-for-the-faint-of-heart (a bank shooting and a fatal auto accident).  They represent every phase of law enforcement work and demonstrate that something happened relating to the incidents that simply cannot be explained away.

     Some days you will weep as you identify with the authentic tragedy shared. At other times you'll laugh at situations that only other peace officers can truly identify with.  Each day you will learn how God can be our refuge and fortress on each and every call.

     By sharing the assurance and peace that only comes from God. the writers pray that you, the reader, will be encouraged and know that he who is in  the world and seeks to destroy and kill is a defenseless enemy when God is on scene with you.

With 1.4 million copies in print and as a NewYork Times and USAToday bestseller, 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper has made a difference in how many people view life and Heaven. As the third book in The Powder Room series, Reflections From the Powder Room on 90 Minutes in Heaven exposes real-life-serious and not-so-serious discussion about life, death, and everything in between. Readers will enjoy journeying along with four women whose beliefs, ideas, and experiences are as different as the lipstick they wear and the lives they lead. Realizing that discussions about the afterlife, eternity, immorality, and the hereafter have for centuries sparked intellectual deliberations, religious arguments, and personal introspection, they tackle these topics with all the finesse their stilettos (and pink bunny slippers) will allow. There is no doubt these wikipowderroom-type cliff notes about 90 Minutes in Heaven will create conversation in book clubs, classrooms, and kitchens as readers question their views about life and death, as well as Heaven and hell.
