Answering the Call: Inspirational Devotionals from a Tested Paramedic

Rate this book
Based on the author's experiences as a paramedic, these inspirational devotionals tap into the concerns and issues that trouble men and women serving as first responders. First responders answer the call.

Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

The First Responders in your community do just that. They sacrifice comfort and safety to protect the lives of others, always waiting, and always wondering when they will find themselves answering the next call. This book was written for them, but it applies to anyone who searches for courage and hope, struggles with a difficult relationship, or suffers through pain or loss. Are you seeking a closer walk with God? Wondering what comes next? Answering the Call can help you find your way. It reveals the simple truth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that to follow him is to find true meaning in life. Christ... the First Responder, is calling you now.

Answering the Call is a collection of inspirational stories based on the author's experiences as a street paramedic in Durham, North Carolina. Each story includes an insightful application that offers the reader a glimpse into God's Word. Use it for your daily quiet time, as a guide for small group study, or simply to share with other paramedics and first responders.

Will you answer the call? "The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off -for all whom the Lord our God will call." - Acts 2:39.

Answering the Call

A great devotional book, especially if you are a first responder. Great daily Bible readings with applicable life stories. If you have an EMT, firefighter or law enforcement in your life, share this great collection with them!

I enjoyed this devotional. Even though it was written for first responders, it was helpful to me. The author draws on his personal experiences to illustrate key Bible points. The daily readings are short and give much food for thought. I recommend this book for anyone. I received a free download of the e-book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Great Testimony

I don't have enough faith to believe that it all happened by chance.
Neither do I, Brother Patterson, neither do I.
If you're a believer,read this book. If you aren't, read it anyway. You might find something that will sing to you or break your heart.
