***This version offers color pictures***Bear the Sword is a nonfiction book that covers topics rarely discussed by Christian authors. Very little published information can be found relating Biblical scriptures to a soldier's duty of defending their country which may require taking the life of another. Bear the Sword is one of the few books that take on that responsibility and it's the only book that takes on that responsibility from a Navy SEAL's perspective. This book is designed to promote Christian values, patriotism, and a deep understanding on how to build a bulletproof faith system that develops fearless warriors. The primary audiences are the people in our armed forces, defense contractors, first responders, and anyone else who wants to learn about Jesus' Kingdom message and how to apply it to their life. About the AuthorJim Sierawski is a twenty-two year Navy SEAL veteran whose duty stations include SEAL Teams Six, Five, and Eight. After retiring from his career in the Navy Jim worked as a police officer, was also Vice President in charge of training for private military contractor Blackwater, and is currently active in the security and training industry. Jim travels extensively for his work and has spent his entire adult life in careers that are considered high risk due to the level of danger involved. He became a follower of Jesus' teachings early on in his SEAL career and studied how to apply the "love and peace" message Jesus taught to the military lifestyle, and more specifically to his lifestyle as a Navy SEAL. The lessons Jim learned has been captured in his one of a kind book entitled Bear the Sword.
