I found this book on my Kindle from too long ago, I forgot I had this book downloaded... and I regret it. I regret everything. I wish I read this book months ago.
Well thought out, well written, a good read for everyone.

Well written with a solid ending to make a person reflect on life. Details of many operations and the events surrounding them. This was well worth the time I spent reading it.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC copy of the book. The opinions expressed above are my own.

This book is an emotional and riveting view of one man's journey through the military, and beyond...

Roger Sparks is not your typical person, he exemplified the military lifestyle, pushing himself and others harder and farther then they thought possible. Warrior's Creed takes us on a journey that one will not soon forget. I was enthralled from the first page, and could not put it down. As a veteran, I listened to the story and could only imagine what he was feeling, thinking, and going through.

I am still processing my thoughts on the book, but WOW, this was an eye-opener!

This book is a surefire winner and not your typical "military read."

This book represents itself well. The author brings a view to his life that is gripping. The problem is that it's like this book was edited by two people. The first half was well paced and very readable. I was engaged in the storytelling about the authors life. The second half was decent but it did not flow well. It dragged at certain points. The later half of the book is a sprint to the finish. That's fine but it lacks the weight that I believe the author intended it to have. I will be looking up some of the names that are in the book as they seem like very interesting people. Tha'ts something you don't get out of many books.

Sparks has written an intense, often difficult to read, memoir about his life growing up and his transition to a career as a Recon Marine turned Alaskan Pararescueman. He saw combat in Afghanistan, and offered this disturbing observation: “People might not realize this, but throughout history, countries project war as a means for profit.…A vast majority of the people on Bagram [Afghanistan] are not even military; they are contractors. And those contractors are there to develop infrastructure. My friend was the CEO of the corporation that manages and funds those contractors. And now you also have an army of people who work in security detachments to protect those contractors. In so many ways it’s a dirty business.” He hopes that by sharing his story each reader might be encouraged to “contemplate [their] own life and create value out of [their] experiences.”

What an extraordinary memoir! The WARRIOR'S CREED, by Roger Sparks and Don Rearden, is fascinating, gripping and intensely heartfelt. The action, adventure, risk, pride and selflessness; interwoven with themes of duty, honor, sacrifice: These are the stories we don't hear enough about in our world today. Thank you NetGalley, Roger Sparks and Don Rearden for the ARC, in exchange for my honest review.

Wow!!! Marine + Authenticity = Incredible Journey. This is NOT at all what I expected, but so, SO much better. In reality, Roger Sparks began his training as a boy seeking out ways to better himself. He found himself in yoga and hard physical training. As a Marine, he continued making choices the propelled him in the direction of his dreams. Sparks shares his life experiences, self-realization, and lifelong journey living life authentically. Some of us live life a few steps back from a window. Sparks lives it with his face pressed up against the glass! This memoir is so much more than what you see on the cover. You will be so surprised and be a better person having read it. In the words of Instructor Chilly, "Read this."
