With the title Faith, Family and Fighter Jets splashed above a
combat-worn fighter jet, soaring high above the mountains of
Afghanistan, Colonel Todd "Riddler" Riddle's story is anything but
typical. His writing conveys lessons of faith and leadership forged
from a life of military service in harm's way; a missional life
calling where the stakes of success and failure are at the highest
possible levels. Colonel Todd "Riddler" Riddle's first person
recollections of pulling the trigger on a GAU-8 Avenger 30mm canon
on an A-10, firing Maverick missiles, using Night Vision Goggles,
or laughably failing while coaching children's sports draw readers
toward discovering an authentic and practical faith-one that opens
the hearts of believers and those seeking to invite the greater
presence of Christ across the key dimensions of their lives. Each
chapter of Faith, Family and Fighter Jets concludes with key
Thunderbolt takeaways for consideration and life application.
Appealing to those who have found the Christian faith to be
disappointingly safe, Faith, Family and Fighter Jets departs from
the sterile, predictable formulas of workplace and life success to
that of a compelling, obtainable and joyful calling in which
biblical truth meets readers where they are. Colonel Todd "Riddler"
Riddle extends the application of each lesson with current and
credible organizational research-as well as Biblical examples-to
provide a strong academic, religious, and theoretical foundation
for readers.

The good news is that the vast majority of soldiers are loath to
kill in battle. Unfortunately, modern armies, using Pavlovian and
operant conditioning have developed sophisticated ways of
overcoming this instinctive aversion. The psychological cost for
soldiers, as witnessed by the increase in post-traumatic stress, is
devastating. The psychological cost for the rest of us is even more
so: contemporary civilian society, particularly the media,
replicates the army's conditioning techniques and, according to Lt.
Col. Dave Grossman's thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of
murder among the young. Upon its first publication, ON KILLING was
hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to
overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects
the soldier, and of the societal implications of escalating
violence. Now, Grossman has updated this classic work to include
information on 21st-century military conflicts, recent crime rates,
suicide bombings, school shootings, and much more. The result is a
work that is sure to be relevant and important for decades to come.
You will fight how you train. That's why Fighter's Fact Book 2
presents a critical look at training and real-world applications.
When you've mastered the skills taught in this book, you will truly
be ready to defend yourself in some of the most desperate
situations imaginable. You will learn how to defend yourself
against multiple assailants, violent dogs, and knife attacks.
You'll learn how to contend with close-quarters attacks and
adversaries who are impervious to pain. You'll also get no-nonsense
instruction on fighting wounded and the justified use of extreme
tactics. Loren W. Christensen shares lessons from his decades of
martial arts training and law enforcement experience. He has also
enlisted a host of expert contributors: *Lt. Col. Dave
Grossman*Iain Abernethy*Rory Miller*Kris Wilder*Lawrence Kane*Alain
Burrese*Wim Demeere*Richard Dimitri*Mark Mireles*Tim Delgman*Dan
Anderson These men are proven survivors, and their
multidisciplinary analyses will change the way you see training and
fighting. The authors will show you how to make your street
techniques fast and explosive, and how to prepare yourself mentally
to use extreme force. These skills are not for the faint of heart.
They are hardcore techniques intended to save your life or the life
of a loved one.
Answer God's call to arms. Evil from the world, the flesh, and the
devil preys on those we love and stalks our every move. If we're
not fighting back, we're losing. In On Spiritual Warfare, the
sequel to On Spiritual Combat, Dave Grossman and Chris Pascoe guide
Christians through operations of advanced spiritual warfare. Battle
the forces of evil with twenty-two intensely practical WARNORDS, or
military "warning orders," drawn from the writings of Luther and
Erasmus. These strategic warnings and tactical orders will equip
you to recognize and fearlessly confront evil, confess and repent
of your own sin, serve others as you become sanctified, and mature
into a triumphant spiritual warrior of God. Filled with Scripture,
powerful hymns, battle prep questions, and practical direction, On
Spiritual Warfare is the map you need to successfully complete your
mission from God. You become victorious as a Christian by living
virtuously. Victory through virtue!
