Download or read book DEVOTIONS AND PRAYERS FOR POLICE OFFICERS written by Steven J. Voris and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This expanded and updated third edition continues to be an important reference volume and tool to survival in a law enforcement career. The book is designed to be used with the Bible and will help law enforcement officers consciously take the pulse of their soul, ensuring that they stay on a strong spiritual and moral path. Each devotion included in the book examines a particular passage of scripture from the perspective of law enforcement. Often the primary meaning of the passage is not discussed in detail. Rather, the law enforcement angle of the passage is explored. Keeping physically fit and achieving expert law enforcement skills, along with maintaining a strong heart, mind, and soul, are essential ingredients to being a successful police officer and crucial to his/her survival. The book is not just a collection of devotions with religious meanings; rather, it clearly identifies some of the most trying situations that officers often find themselves in, the ones that challenge the soul the most, and helps them make sense of it all. The author links these situations with relevant biblical passages. Each devotion in the book is freestanding and can be used in any order. The devotions are arranged in several categories: Justice, Dealing with People, Crime and Police Situations, Prevention, Self-care, and Devotions for Law Enforcement Chaplains. Each of the 81 devotions conclude with questions for reflection and a meaningful prayer. These address a wide variety of ceremonial functions, including cadet graduations, retirements, blessings for substations, award banquets, and fire department events. This new edition includes four additional devotions for law enforcement, eight new devotions for law enforcement chaplains, and four prayers for ceremonial functions. This book will be essential reading for police officers, firefighters, law enforcement supervisors, community service officers, chaplains, and ministers.

More than any other public service profession; those in the field of law enforcement are in a unique position to make a spiritual difference in the lives of both co-workers and citizens whom they encounter.

It is written by a Christian law enforcement veteran using real life situations that all officers can appreciate. By using biblical quotes and spiritual references, the Peacekeepers study helps you discover and understand God's purpose for your life and career. Chapter topics include issues such as work stress, becoming spiritually connected, developing a stronger marriage and family, and being a sound witness for Christ.

Download or read book The Ultimate Devotional for First Responders and Those Who Serve Others written by Dr. Jeffrey C. Fox and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This devotional is designed for those who serve others. Service includes but is not limited to emergency management, emergency medical services, military personnel, firefighters, first responders, law enforcement, dispatchers / 911 operators, transportation workers, social services personnel, emergency volunteers, and the list goes on. These servants can be found at the local, state, and federal levels as well as private citizens, faith-based individuals, and organizations alike. There are many ways and terms used to describe those who serve others. For the purpose of this devotional, we will use the term “responder.” We often hear this term phrased as “first responder.” However, service to others goes beyond the first responder role. Likewise, it is appropriate to use the term “responder” since that is what you are doing. You are responding to the needs of others. You are also responding to God’s call. The devotional is designed to focus on those who serve others.

Yet, in the midst of seeing humanity at its worst, they are privileged to see light and love demonstrated in ways that give them hope. How does a God of ultimate justice put up with so much injustice in the world? How can we as His children find His peace, joy, perspective, truth, and justice amidst a broken humanity? These questions and more are answered. Justice Revealed offers you forty-four short devotional thoughts that uniquely weave insights from the frontlines of police service and the criminal justice system with the Bible and the timeless truths of God's Word. Readers will travel from the squad room to the local church while covering relevant issues like teen pregnancy, cultural snares, and practical elements of faith. Our lives are filled with events that bring a smile and laughter, yet occasionally tears and sorrow as well. The personal studies hit each component with genuine revelations.

They are powerful, practical, and appeal to people in all walks of life. These insights will inspire you to live higher and with more confidence and conviction that it is God who is at work in you both to will and to do His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13)
