Take up the Shield : Comparing the Uniform of the Police Officer and the Armor of God

Written by a street cop, this unique publication describes the spiritual armor of Ephesians chapter 6 using a contemporary equivalent -- the police uniform -- giving readers fresh insight into this well-known passage. The importance of each piece of equipment is driven home through engaging, real-life police stories (responding to the infamous L.A. Riots, the devastating 1994 Northridge earthquake, working in jails, making arrests, etc). The author then gives readers a look into the courtroom of the Judge of all mankind, encouraging them to "take up the shield" of faith by placing their trust in Jesus Christ. Encouraging for Christians, evangelistic for cops and others.
