Yes, I'm back again but hopefully more encouraging than Bible translations. Still you needed to know the truth. Now lets move on to this Book of "A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom" This is a Mans,Man who loves God,his men,and his country. In 1978, Jerry became a part of the world's premier Operations unit,Delta Force. His only promise was "A medal and a body bag." Jerry goes in to great depth to explain his training for inclusion into Delta Force. Like ,"After suiting up, I trudged out out into the cold darkness. The pines cast long blue shadows in the snow and moonlight glinted between them. My breath made clouds in the air. I wondered if I would make it. Around the twelfth hour, if the pace was sufficient to meet the requirement, the man would be totally exhausted. He began to look for excuses to quit, to slow down, even to hope he would injure himself. Anything to allow him to stop. It was then,after the twelfth hour, that many men quit, or rested too long, or slowed to a pace that prohibited them from meeting the time requirement. My face sagged and my mouth hung open, lungs burning as I sucked in icy air. My nose ran and my ears felt frozen hard to my head. At some point, I lapsed into a kind of trance, crunching under snow-laden pine branches,dragging boulder feet with rubber legs. I wanted to drop my weapon, drag my rucksack off my back and like Elijah, lie down under a tree and wait to die." This is where most would have quit,but not Jerry Boykin, he pushed on to make the time requirement. Was picked for Delta Force. And went on to greater challenges in life. This is a small portion of what awaits you in the book of a great hero of the U.S.A., and a spiritual Hero in the Faith. Highly recommend this book to you. It's fast paced and you will not want to put it down until you finish the book. Thank God for our Armed Forces.
