“Before I picked up The Word Among Us I was half a second away of committing suicide. But, by reading God’s Word I had a change of heart. I have been behind bars for the past 3 ½ years and I have lost everything but God works wonders. I want to be a man of God.” —Troy, a Prisoner in Arkansas
“Thank you so much for supplying The Word Among Us to the young men and women of our unit during deployment. The soldiers I cared for deeply needed the words, support, and hope found in its pages. I will be ever thankful and blessed for this support.” —Army Chaplain Assistant
