Dr. Gary and Bob Rosberg, founders of The Great Marriage Experience, are hosting a military marriage conference in Des Moines, Iowa, at the end of March. It is primarily a pre-deployment event for the 2nd Brigade headed to Afghanistan…however…it is open to all Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom vets and current service men and women [and their spouses].”
They are trying to give the military couples as many resources for free to equip them in life and marriage, and they have offered to distribute my book Faith Deployed: Daily Encouragement for Military Wives to the wives in attendance. The only catch is I need to find the funding to get the books into the hands of those who need it on my own.
Because of a deal with the publisher, just $10 will pay for two books for two military wives. This is a great opportunity for those who feel compelled to support military wives but don’t know any personally. Or if you’ve been touched by Faith Deployed and want to help change other women’s lives, $10 would go a long way to help make that happen.
Just take a look at what some women are saying about the book:
“I am seven weeks into this deployment and have never ever felt the spirit of the Lord guiding me as I have this time. I owe so much of that to this amazing, well written book. It speaks to both enlisted and officer’s wives. It has no condescending message. It has the message of Truth and PEACE. It has helped shelter my soul and guided me through rough patches with my children. It has eased my suffering and helped me to ease the suffering of others. I have grown in leaps and bounds in these seven weeks, perhaps more than I have in the last 30 years of being a born again Christian. God is faithful and is walking this deepest of valleys at my side and he has sent this wee little book to be a light when it is sometimes so dark, I cannot see beyond my tears.”
~Beverly Eagen, Army wife“The life of a military spouse is undoubtedly filled with its fair share of challenges, uncertainty, and fear. Jocelyn Green’s Faith Deployed takes the stories and lessons learned from military spouses from all branches of service and compiles it into a daily devotional that offers hope and encouragement to those on the home front. While each story addresses a different aspect of faith and life in the military, all have the same resounding conclusion: God is faithful. No matter how difficult this life is for those of us married to a man in uniform, this book is a reminder that there is amazing possibility in the challenges through our faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This book breathes fresh inspiration into the lives of those who need it.”
~Catherine Fitzgerald, Marine wife
If you would like to donate $10 to supply Faith Deployed to military wives, click here to make a secure donation through PayPal. (If you want to donate more than $10, simply change the quantity to increase the amount by increments of $10.) I will write a note in the books you donate telling the readers that you have donated these books just for them, unless you’d prefer to be an anonymous donor. If you wish, I can also give you a tax-deductible receipt for your donation.
My goal is to find funds to cover 100 books the conference by March 20, so I have time to ship them for the conference. If we fall short of the goal, the conference will still distribute whatever number of books we can provide. If we surpass the goal, those extra books will be distributed through another military wife conference!
Thank you for even considering this.
