Description
Do you wear a badge? Do you know someone who does? Chaplaing Steve Lee's beenj there, done that--and he bought the T-shirt. An experienced peace officer turned chaplain, Lee knows what it takes to survive spiritually, as well as on the beat. And, he knows that you need real words of motivation and inspiration, not pretty speeches or watered-down philosophies. Inside these pages you'll find straight talk, including: Stories with a message--written for officers by one of their own ; Essays with a purpose--based on belief ; Thoughts with backbone--truths to keep you going ; Prayers with power--God's backup when you need it most. Peace officers are the shepherds who stand between the sheep and the wolves. If you are to survive and win in your important vocation, if you are to truly protect and serve, you must always be alert to predators, on guard against bushwhackers, practiced in tactitcs, equipped for battle, strong with inntegrity, guided by principle, driven by mission, and grounded in belief. And, that's what Backup on the Beat is all about.
