Presents more than 90 devotions for Christians

For Those Who Serve: A Devotional For Church Volunteers by Carol Lee Hall presents more than 90 devotions for Christians striving to keep up in a busy and demanding world and balance the call to serve as a volunteer for the community or the church with responsibilities at work and home. Each thoughtful devotion includes a bit of Scripture to reflect upon, recommended Bible readings for study and reflection, a Biblical story, ideas for applying the parables to modern-day problems, and a short prayer. An excellent tool for soulful reflection, meditation, and opening oneself to a higher power, For Those Who Serve is especially recommended reading for any member of a Christian community feeling the strain between their volunteer activities and the rest of their personal lives, daily commitments, and familial responsibilities.
