Jesus was a Airborne Ranger: Find your Purpose Following the Warrior Christ

A refreshing look at Jesus showing His full portrait. Familiar passages are illuminated to demonstrate that our Lord was a man's man who loved the world so deeply got the job done.

Interesting perspective.

My purchase came on time, very happy with it, thanks

I saw this book in my Moody Bible Institute devotional book one month and decided to try it. I was a little leery but it turned out to be a really good analysis of Jesus' character as a leader on a mission. Because the author was a Ranger, he used the analogy all throughout the book. At the end of each chapter he applied the mission to us and what we should be doing .as Jesus' Ranger patrol. The apostle Paul wrote about our lives as Christians as being in a spiritual battle in Ephesians, so I thought this book was a really great platform to demonstrate that idea as well as give us more insight into Jesus. As I read it I also thought this would be a good book to give to a military man who might be on the cusp of a spiritual decision to become a believer. I guess in my life I saw more of the shepherd Christ and didn't give much thought to the warrior Christ. It is also convicting to see that I haven't always stayed on mission in my life. I highly recommend it. You don't have to know a lot of military stuff to get something out of it as he explains everything as you go. He also gives real life examples

As a Christian who served 30 years in the Army as a field artilleryman with 13 years overseas, including a tour in Vietnam, I have often reflected on the sacrificial service of our military personnel. I think about my Citadel classmates who were KIA in Vietnam everyday. I mourn their loss but give praise and thanks for their good and faithful service to our country.Chaplain McDougall has written a well-crafted book clearly showing that the risen Lord we serve was no wimp and modeled many of the leadership qualities that the military values in officers and NCOs.Several statements in the book resonated strongly with me:"The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training - sacrifice.""The church has plenty of lukewarm Christians ... God is looking for true warriors...""Rangers have their handbook. All of us have God's Word. And neither book is any good unless we know the contents and put them to work in our lives."I read this book on my IPad and was moved to order five hard copy versions to give to young military personnel and our pastor (a retired Army colonel and chaplain). Christians and military personnel should make this volume a part of their professional library.
