In the Army of the Lord None Dare Call It Desertion

by Don Nelson

When we become born again we are then enlisted into the army of God as a soldier. The arms consists of many ranks, from private to general. What is your rank? A pastor, mission, board member, Sunday School teacher or a layman? Have you been guilty of deserting your post? Beware lest you as a soldier are charged with deserting your post in the thick of battle in the army of the Lord. Remember, in the army of the Lord None Dare Call It Desertion. It is hoped, though this booklet, that many "soldiers of the cross" will be encouraged to stay the course.

[Emma Kordik · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great little book that challenges Christians to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ and to not desert their post. Don really calls out some of the issues in American Christianity that lead to people not being active in missions or giving up. He also briefly address ways that desertion can be avoided and points out some areas that we so do better at training and preparing Christians for ministry.
