Faith for Firebrands

A 31-Day Devotional Inspired by the Life of C. T. Studd

Following the widely acclaimed The Mind of a Missionary—a guide to thriving on mission today—David Joannes returns with this companion devotional that amplifies the voices of Christian pioneers like Hudson Taylor, Amy Carmichael, C. T. Studd, and other history-shaping Kingdom workers.

In Faith for Firebrands, book 1 of The Mind of a Missionary Collection, David Joannes challenges you to find your groove in God’s mission through the tone and writing style of missionary C. T. Studd. Each daily entry provokes an all-or-nothing approach to radical faith, passion for God’s mission, and a heart for the nations.

Enter the mind of a lionhearted man of God whose bold words set fire to the world.

“Some wish to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.”

“Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into Heaven without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle.”

These 31 inspirational 7-minute daily entries expound on C. T. Studd’s words, igniting a passion to pursue your God-given destiny.

Faith for Firebrands resembles My Utmost for His Highest, only it goes harder. You’ll close this devotional challenged and encouraged by the daring faith and bold declarations of C. T. Studd, discovering the tools to become a modern-day firebrand for a watching world.
