TABLE OF CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
As I write this introduction, I am in my sixth year of incarceration. Prior to my imprisonment, I lived a blessed life: wonderful family, challenging and rewarding job, travel for both civilian and military careers; daily prayer and weekly church attendance, extensive education.
As a Roman Catholic Christian, Bible readings were an integral part of every Church service 365 days a year, around the world. But I took it for granted. Although I had a Bible, I rarely read it outside of Church.
When my faith was severely challenged several years ago, I did not have on the full armor of God. As a result, I stayed away from prayer, the Bible and worship for 6 years. My bountiful life disintegrated. I became a failure at everything. And when the biggest test came, I failed, ultimately leading to my arrest, conviction and harsh sentence.
In my first year of incarceration, mostly waiting for trial, I was exposed to Bible Study Correspondence Courses. I pursued them (and still do) energetically. In addition, my cousin, Marlaine Peachey, sent me a Bible as the first book I received in jail. This was no coincidence.
At this point in my life I am still trying to fight the good fight against evil every day. The Word of God sustains me and strengthens me daily. The power of Scripture is what led me to select these verses for Christians, pointing out what a Christian should be, should know, and should do, loosely based on the Army Leadership Model.
It is my hope that these verses will all Christians in need of support and hope. All the answers we need are in the Bible. I joyfully study it every single day. I am now a graduate of Bible College, from Victory Bible Institute of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is my hope that this work encourages further study of scripture for all who read it.
My wish for you is that Our Lord
