Product Description
In 1978, Jerry Boykin joined what would become the world's premier Special Operations unit, Delta Force. The only promise: "A medal and a body bag." What followed was a .50 caliber round in the chest and a life spent with America's elite forces bringing down warlords and war criminals, despots, and dictators. In Colombia, his task force hunted the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. In Panama, he helped capture the brutal dictator Manuel Noriega, liberating a nation. From Vietnam to Iran to Mogadishu, Lt. General Jerry Boykin's life reads like an action-adventure novel. Boykin's powerful story will keep you riveted as he reveals how his military duty worked in tandem with his faith to bring him through the bloody storms of foreign battle-and through the political firestorm that ambushed him in his own country.

Written by a man of faith, the book is an in-depth look at one of the most secretive, and effective units in the US Military.
A great book!
 Terrific Book! November 11, 2008

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend its' readable and tasteful style- substance without too much gore. It has given me a deep respect for the military and shows how a man's faith in Jesus Christ can carry him through even the most difficult situations in life. The Bible was a constant source of strength to Boykin. He takes you behind the headlines and let's the reader see what really happened on some of those historical missions. Another intriguing book that will inspire you is Visual History of the English Bible, A: The Tumultuous Tale of the World's Bestselling Book. It tells the true stories of the heros of the Christian faith who stood by their principles and in some cases sacrificed their lives in order to bring the Bible to all people.Visual History of the English Bible, A: The Tumultuous Tale of the World's Bestselling Book
a great read October 28, 2008

This book kept me awake during a loooooong international trip last week.
Boykin is a real modern-day hero who took hits from both outside (arm nearly blown off) and inside the USA (from the president himself).
Well written, easy to read, inspiring, honest.

Great book! I could not put it down.
If you are a Christian and ever asked, "How do I live out my faith in the workplace?," this will be an inspiring book for you.
Excellent Book October 19, 2008
This is an excellent book about a real american hero. While not revealing operations secrets, the General shares his stories with us in an almost conversational manner. Highly recommend it.
