Book/Resource of the Month: 39 Stories by Prague Christian Fellowship
A Gripping 40-Day Devotional of Real Life Stories inspired by the 39 Lashes of Jesus
By Prague Christian Fellowship, Directed by Kelsie C. Mullen
Download your free devotional
This 40-day devotional comes from an unlikely place: a small international church in the most
atheistic city (Prague) of the most secular region (Bohemia) in one of the most secular nations
of Europe (Czech Republic). Each entry is a testimony to the transforming power of God and
was birthed out of a deep need for renewal in a spiritually dark world.
Perhaps you find yourself doubting whether God really is good and whether His ways really
are the best. If so, you are not alone. Regardless of where you are in your faith, the purpose of
39-Stories is to show that He is good, and that no matter how messy and painful our stories
may be, He makes all things new and beautiful. This is only possible through the life, death,
and resurrection power of Jesus Christ. Read More
