Devotions for Warriors: A Christian Perspective of the Civil War

by Mike Fisher, Joe Jared

Hancock, may God strike me dead if I ever lift my hand against you.' These were the parting words of General Lewis Armistead to his dear friend, General Winfield Scott Hancock, as they went off to war, Hancock to the Union and Armistead to the Confederacy. Such stories comprise Devotions for Warriors, a 365-day devotional capturing the poignancy of the Civil War. Armistead and Hancock did face one another later at Gettysburg. One died and one was wounded. While our nation is at war, we should offer whatever encouragement we may to our soldiers. But of more importance is another war that has raged for centuries, a war against truth. Authors Mike Fisher and Joe Jared believe that truth is found in Jesus Christ and the Bible. Opposition to truth continues to this day. With it come revisions of history. Within these pages, readers will unlock mysteries that were omitted from their school history classes, stories revealing God's sovereign control of events. Knowing what is real is a life-and-death situation. Fighting this battle for truth can exhaust unprepared soldiers, making them vulnerable to attack. Daily gird yourself with truth as you prepare to face today's battle by spending a little quiet time reading Devotions for Warriors. Mike Fisher has been a teacher of God's Word for decades. He has taught American history in a Christian school with a particular emphasis on the founding of America, the War between the States, and World War II. Joe Jared has worked for the Department of Rehabilitation Services in Oklahoma City since 1975. He has written two historical novels, The Ransom of the Rune Writer and The Spirit Quest of the Thunder Clan.
