Book Description from Publisher Website:
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.

• 365 daily stories pertaining to emergency responders and their experiences
• Provides daily food for thought and prayers directly from the hearts of first responders
• Though the stories come from those in fire departments, EMS, and dispatch units, they are applicable to civil servants in the police and military service everywhere.


My Review:
Stories of Faith and Courage from Firefighters & First Responders is a 365-day devotional targeted at firefighters & first responders. The daily entries (by date) were generally mini-sermons (in a good way) and words of encouragement from other Christians in the field. They dealt with challenges specific to these jobs.

The same publisher also puts out Stories of Faith and Courage From Cops on the Street and Battlefields & Blessings: Stories of Faith and Courage From the War in Iraq and Afghanistan devotionals.
