A Devotional Journal For Those Who Serve and Those Who Wait

"Coming Home" is a devotional journal offering inspiration and hope to the men and women serving in the military, their families and loved ones, and to thousands around the world who wait and hope for their safe return. Prayerful and poignant devotions provide endless pages of reflection to those seeking the strength of God's abiding care to build a bridge from the tribulations of today into a brighter tomorrow — and to a joyous coming home.

Around the world men and women are sacrificing time and life in the pursuit of freedom. Wherever they are, whatever their circumstances might be, families and friends must sacrifice with them. "Coming Home," a devotional journal, is designed to give comfort, wisdom, guidance, and strength while encouraging and supporting their efforts.

Read and see the emotion of original letters from previous wars. Hear and feel the cadences used daily by military personnel worldwide. Believe and trust that your prayers can help bring peace throughout the world and return all people safely home.

As you record your thoughts and prayers in this journal, may you know that God is sovereign over all life. His strength will become your strength. And trust that He is in control over all things.
