Recieve this as a warning. This forty day journey cannot be taken lightly.

It is the challenging and often difficult process, but an incredibly fulfilling one. To take this sare requires a resolute mind and a steadfast determination.

It is not meant to be sampled or briefly tested, and those who quit early will forfeit the greatest benefits. If you will commit to a day at a time for forty days, the results could change your life and your marriage.

Consider it a dare, from others who have done it before you.

首先在此致谢写Women of the Bible的Ann Spangler和Jean E Sysweda。作为一个女孩子，我读这本书受益甚多。希望我在此可以作为语言工具，将这本书翻译给弟兄姐妹共同学习、领受，和更多的人共同读圣经，坚守在神的路上共同成长。

亲爱的朋友

在四川，人们所遭受的苦难让人心碎。真的很难想象这么多家庭的损失到底有多大。我们在为那些受灾的人们祷告和祈求着。

然而，援救人员的英勇之举和被埋了几天后获救幸存者的希望也让我心灵震撼。他们一个接着一个获救--他们怎能忍耐那么长的时间？

我想鼓励你们一下，要你们知道，全世界很多基督徒在为受灾的人们祷告，我们支持你们，并且希望所有那些在中国的人们得到那最为上好的福份。
