Through this book, the Christian military wife will better understand how to biblically respond to the specific challenges she faces. With contributions from more than a dozen Christian wives from each branch of the armed services, Faith Deployed uses passages of Scripture, real-life illustrations, and insights from noted Christian scholars. Every devotional seeks to answer the question: How does the Bible relate to what I am experiencing in the military community? Each devotion closes with application questions and a brief prayer. Appendixes point readers to recommended reading as well as to ministries to military families.
