As the first book of its kind, how can I give it anything but 5 stars? An honest look into what it is like to be a Christian and in the police/army/fire/ambulance service. How to get the balance between "loving one another" when you often have to bring justice, or sometimes use violence. A proper Biblical study tackling the big questions. I will continue to dip into this book whilst tackling daily work life.
Even though the author is American, and their legal system is vastly different from the UK (arming officers). I still found it relatable, raw and applicable to UK first responders.
