Debriefing: Meditations of Hope for Those Who Protect and Serve

by Tez Brooks

Meditations of Hope for Those Who Protect and Serve is a collection of real life experiences helping cops, correction officers, chaplains, and others to see God’s hand in all they do, so they can better understand his loving care for those working the challenging and dangerous job of first responder.

It’s time to debrief.
The stressful position of first responders is often scary, unpredictable, and infuriating. Where do you go to refresh and refocus when the world expects you to be thick-skinned and independent? It can be difficult to balance your physical, emotional, and spiritual health, along with your social and family life, as you focus on your role to protect the public. It’s easy to forget the bigger purpose God has for you.

The Lord is with you, both in remarkable events and insignificant moments of your job and home life. Debriefing will help you focus on the Lord and the vital position in which God has placed you, so you can approach your day encouraged and filled with hope to bravely and selflessly serve society, your family, and the Lord.

[Phillip Zirges · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well written. Thoughtfully covers topics most first responders will be confronted with and offers hope and encouragement from a decisively Christian perspective. First responders are uniquely called and equipped by God to serve their communities. I would recommend this book to anyone considering or already serving or to family members of public servants. Well done.

Book that honors first responders

This is a very well written book that honors first responders. I’ve never seen a book like this. The author, being a first responder himself, knows the toll that this occupation carries on a persons’ heart. This book will provide peace and healing for the reader.

What gives you hope when you face an emergency? Knowing first responders are there to help provides comfort to those in a difficult situation. Debriefing, written by former first responder Tez Brooks, springboards off real-life situations to offer words of encouragement to first responders through beautifully written meditations. Reading this book can also offer non-first responders a better understanding of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of those serving on the front line on a daily basis. Debriefing is a perfect choice as a gift for first responders you know or who serve your community.
