Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom

FaithWords, 2008, Hardcover

Product Description

In 1978, Jerry Boykin joined what would become the world's premier Special Operations unit, Delta Force. The only promise: "A medal and a body bag." What followed was a .50 caliber round in the chest and a life spent with America's elite forces bringing down warlords and war criminals, despots, and dictators. In Colombia, his task force hunted the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. In Panama, he helped capture the brutal dictator Manuel Noriega, liberating a nation. From Vietnam to Iran to Mogadishu, Lt. General Jerry Boykin's life reads like an action-adventure novel. Boykin's powerful story will keep you riveted as he reveals how his military duty worked in tandem with his faith to bring him through the bloody storms of foreign battle-and through the political firestorm that ambushed him in his own country.

God made us free. Let's mean every word.: Guilty until proved innocent. His crime? Being an Evangelical in America. Everybody knows Evangelical Christians aren't to take advantage of free speech; free speech is only meant for the self-righteous Left... right? Irony aside, the Leftist media found Boykin guilty without hearing him out.
This is the story of another soldier who found his nemesis in the… More reviews
