A Note from Susie May:

When I was reading this devotional, I thought of how helpful it might be, not just for those who have loved ones deployed, but for those with any family away from home.  (and I thought of my parents, when we were missionaries).  A powerful devotional to help in every challenge of life – a reminder that God is always there, always holding us.  Edie’s writing will minister to those seeking peace in challenging times.

About the Book:

Having a son at war was not something Edie Melson ever thought she’d have to face. But that was exactly what happened when her oldest announced he was bypassing college and enlisting in the Marine Corps.

Edie understands what it is to face adversity and come out triumphant on the other side. Her years as a wife, mother and ministry leader have given her a unique perspective to reach out to others facing the same struggles. As a full-time writer, she’s always concentrated on telling the stories of others. In this book, she continues with those stories, but also shares her own challenges and the way God gave her the strength to endure.

Few life events can be more unsettling than sending a loved one off to war. This book captures so vividly the fear, doubts and anxiety that go along with deployment, but more than that, each devotion leaves no doubt as to God’s presence with us in the midst of it all.— Ann Tatlock, award-winning novelist.

Touches the heart. Nurtures the soul.— Jack Cavanaugh, novelist.
