The men of this world are to be a part of the Lord’s army, not to live in the way of the world.  Boot Camp: Equipping Men with Integrity for Spiritual Warfare, by Jason Hardin, is the first book in the IMAGE series for men.

This book is divided up into three parts “The Beginning of Our Journey,” “As Integrity is Born, What Must Be Put to Death?” and “The Lord’s Army.”  Some of the subjects discussed are hypocrisy, idolatry, and selfishness.

About the author- Jason Hardin currently lives in Ohio with his wife and three daughters.  He words with the Laurel Canyon church of Christ.

My thoughts- I think that every man needs to read Boot Camp: Equipping Men with Integrity for Spiritual Warfare, by Jason Hardin.  Too many men live only for this world and not for Christ.  The IMAGE series is very important.  This book is a great beginning to what I feel is a very important series. 

Most men should be able to relate to the boot camp, and the military aspect makes it easier to read than something academic.  Part One is the part that starts with the boot camp theme and it is carried into part Two, but is strongest again in Part Three, with putting on the Lord’s armor.

I recommend this book to all men.  I am planning on sharing this book with the men in my life.  I will be saving this book for my son when he is older.  Please pick up a copy today.

Genre- Religion / Christian / Nonfiction

Temptation is something we all face.  Nathan Ward shows us in his book, Daybreak, how we can overcome temptation.

One of his first sermons was based on temptation and he knew he wanted to write more.  That one sermon turned into more sermons and this book.  Ward divided this book into the call, the enemy, and how to fight the temptation.  It will help you live in the light of the Lord and avoid Satan’s darkness.

About the author- Nathan Ward currently lives in Florida with his wife and children.  He is a professor of Biblical studies at Florida College in Temple Terrace. 

My thoughts- I enjoyed reading Daybreak, by Nathan Ward.  Temptation is something we all face on a daily basis and this book helped me learn where the temptation comes from and how to fight it.

My favorite part was learning how to fight temptation in every way.  I need to learn those ways.  I also liked the use of Bible verses and references to where I could find the information in the Bible.  It was important in a book like this to have the verses, so we could see the proof ourselves.

I think that questions at the end of each chapter would have been very beneficial.  Questions would have helped me put the information into perspective and how to implement it into my daily life.

I recommend this book.  We all need to know how to fight and win against temptation.
