How a Special Operations Marine Found the Light

This story is a true testament of God’s patience, love, and grace.

Preface excerpt: “How, then, could I come to know Christ, to be forgiven for the things I had done and cleansed of the things I had seen and experienced? Who could love this broken warrior without a soul? Without Christ, my eyes opened onto only emptiness, death, endless pain, and a tortured ambience. If this description scares you, it should. But it comes with good news—this book could be a beam of hope in our dark and fallen world, a catalyst for accepting Christ into your life. So what are you waiting for? Suck it up, put on your body armor, grab this book, and put on your eighty-pound ruck of hope: Step out of the darkness with me.”
