Publisher's Synopsis
Knowing that no one comprehends the challenges that a soldier faces like another soldier, the inspiration for this book comes from the writings of an ancient soldier who righteously protected the innocent, stood firm on the ferocious frontlines of battle; patrolled dangerous checkpoints, walked the lonely late night and early morning watches, guarded city gates, climbed rugged terrain in all kinds of weather, and faced enemies in the deserts and on the mountains. That soldier, King David, endured many of the same experiences as today's soldier. He also needed and drew strength daily from Almighty God. He wrote of his struggles and victories, recorded his prayers and praises from his experiences. What encouragement, hope and comfort come from the Psalms, he left to us. This devotional countdown calendar-journal is meant to be a source of daily encouragement, a place where soldiers and their families can record feelings and events that have impacted them during their deployment experience. It is a legacy of shared courage and sacrifice of and for the outstanding men and women who serve our great nation in military service.
