Roll Call: Spiritual Wellness for Today’s Law Enforcement Officer

by Bobby Kipper, Joe St. John

Written by a seasoned law enforcement professional, Bobby Kipper, Roll Call is a Christian Spiritual Guide for other law enforcement professionals. Police work is a stressful and often dangerous job that puts a burden on the individual that most people will never understand. It also forces the police officer to see the world in a very real light and that light is not always positive. Bobby Kipper understands the challenges to staying spiritual in an often-harsh world. It is easy to lose focus on a loving and caring God in the midst of turmoil. It is easy to lose hope when a person sees so much hopelessness. Roll Call is as an easy-to-carry book that an officer can read in these troubling times. During a break from all the chaos, the officer can read a quick chapter and refocus on a loving God and the peace of Jesus. Roll Call is a “no-nonsense” book that places the Christian Faith in the forefront of the officers’ lives. In these drastic times of today and with the problems facing law enforcement, there is no better time for the faith community to have a police “Roll Call.”

The officers who wrote this text did so while clearly drawing upon their experiences and faith. Explicitly Christian, it might not be for everyone at a department, but for Christians who are in law enforcement (or seekers), it can likely serve them well. One can read it like any other book, or it could be used as a source of reflection and prayer over several days. I could also see it used as part of a group study. With the wide variety of Christian traditions that exist, I found the text addressed theological issues simply and directly enough where many denominations would feel comfortable with it. Nicely done.
