Description
Respected by some and feared by others, law enforcement officers face daily pressures and dangers uncommon to other professions. Behind the Badge provides daily, spiritual nourishment that will encourage you professionally and personally.
Filled with personal stories, relevant Scriptures, and practical prayers, the short devotions focus on themes such as peace, integrity, strength, family, protection, divine direction, preparedness, service, and more. Also included are powerful blessings and declarations that will inspire and strengthen.
God has ordained the path you walk today. Let Behind the Badge help equip your steps and be a constant reminder of the permanent backup you have in God as you uphold the law.

I read this and shared with my husband who is a LEO. The devotions are geared towards those on the street, but can be understood by all. This would be a nice and thoughtful gift. Typical of this type of devotional.
I received this book as a gift for my husband. After ten years of service, I can't imagine the things he has seen on the job.
This book would have been a gem starting out. A guide, a helping hand, a resource to lean on after those tough calls, before heading out for a shift.
This book is a necessity for any and all areas of LEO. I would recommend it for it's words but also for the lay out, the passages, the strength it pours into the reader. My husband is not a reader but took to reading this daily and as I see his book mark move through the book I could sense it was giving him peace and calm, giving him a message he badly needed to hear.
I encourage others to buy this for a friend, a colleague, a family member involved in any area of LEO - whether they are a rookie or a veteran. This is a must for all!
I'm highly anticipating more by the author and cannot wait for his marriage book that should be following this soon!
