    <![CDATA[General Jerry Boykin is one of the original members and commander of the Delta Force (the one portrayed in the movie <em>Black Hawk Down</em>) and has spent the majority of his career in Special Forces. His work in this area of the military placed him in many battles -- some of them legendary. These and other life-shaking experiences laced through his true-life story make it read like the riveting fiction of Tom Clancy. He will share how his foundation of faith -- while challenged and even broken -- was restored and became the life-blood to bring him through unimaginable circumstances to a rich and inspiring life. In the end, the general realizes his life would have gone very differently, most likely tragically, without his faith.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Excellent book. The story of William Jerry Boykin's commitment to the military and to his religion. Great book, nothing sugar coated, it is a very real experience about a true warrior who was painted by the media as an religious extremest. I enjoyed the book quite a bit. ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[General Jerry Boykin is one of the original members and commander of the Delta Force (the one portrayed in the movie <em>Black Hawk Down</em>) and has spent the majority of his career in Special Forces. His work in this area of the military placed him in many battles -- some of them legendary. These and other life-shaking experiences laced through his true-life story make it read like the riveting fiction of Tom Clancy. He will share how his foundation of faith -- while challenged and even broken -- was restored and became the life-blood to bring him through unimaginable circumstances to a rich and inspiring life. In the end, the general realizes his life would have gone very differently, most likely tragically, without his faith.]]>
