Book review: Voices of the Faithful Book 2

Voices of the Faithful Book 2 is a collection of missionary stories from around the world. It is meant to be used as a devotional with one story for each day of the year. Hearing from Christians who have been spreading the Gospel in so many different areas can be quite exciting and encouraging. The 366 devotionals are separated into twelve months; each month has a different topic. My personal favorite was the section on children. Each devotional includes a relevant Bible verse and prayer. One of the purposes of this book is to encourage the body of Christ to pray for missionaries and people groups. The only complaint that comes to my mind is that this book, made by Southern Baptists, is partial to Southern Baptists and the missionaries in the book are Southern Baptists.  An example of partiality is that at the end of the book, the International Mission Board (IMB) offers free resources to only Southern Baptists.  I believe division in the body of Christ is to be avoided and I cannot endorse the idea or practice of denominations. The important thing is that a believer is correct on the essentials of the Christian faith. I believe a missionary should not have to belong to a certain denomination to be supported.  Trying to convert people in other countries to be part of a particular denomination is inappropriate and unBiblical.  A westernized sect of Christianity will not appeal to most indigenous people.  Unity is desperately needed in places where the number of believers is often under one percent.  We are to be one Body.  Other than that, this book is interesting and a nice devotional.
