Download or read book DEVOTIONS AND PRAYERS FOR POLICE OFFICERS written by Steven J. Voris and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This expanded and updated third edition continues to be an important reference volume and tool to survival in a law enforcement career. The book is designed to be used with the Bible and will help law enforcement officers consciously take the pulse of their soul, ensuring that they stay on a strong spiritual and moral path. Each devotion included in the book examines a particular passage of scripture from the perspective of law enforcement. Often the primary meaning of the passage is not discussed in detail. Rather, the law enforcement angle of the passage is explored. Keeping physically fit and achieving expert law enforcement skills, along with maintaining a strong heart, mind, and soul, are essential ingredients to being a successful police officer and crucial to his/her survival. The book is not just a collection of devotions with religious meanings; rather, it clearly identifies some of the most trying situations that officers often find themselves in, the ones that challenge the soul the most, and helps them make sense of it all. The author links these situations with relevant biblical passages. Each devotion in the book is freestanding and can be used in any order. The devotions are arranged in several categories: Justice, Dealing with People, Crime and Police Situations, Prevention, Self-care, and Devotions for Law Enforcement Chaplains. Each of the 81 devotions conclude with questions for reflection and a meaningful prayer. These address a wide variety of ceremonial functions, including cadet graduations, retirements, blessings for substations, award banquets, and fire department events. This new edition includes four additional devotions for law enforcement, eight new devotions for law enforcement chaplains, and four prayers for ceremonial functions. This book will be essential reading for police officers, firefighters, law enforcement supervisors, community service officers, chaplains, and ministers.

Download or read book Roll Call written by Bobby Kipper and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two seasoned law enforcement professionals, Bobby Kipper and Joe St. John, Roll Call is a Christian Spiritual Guide for other law enforcement professionals. Police work is a stressful and often dangerous job that puts a burden on the individual that most people will never understand. It also forces the police officer to see the world in a very real light and that light is not always positive. Kipper and St. John understand the challenges to staying spiritual in an often-harsh world. It is easy to lose focus on a loving and caring God in the midst of turmoil. It is easy to lose hope when a person sees so much hopelessness. Roll Call is as an easy-to-carry book that an officer can read in these troubling times. During a break from all the chaos, the officer can read a quick chapter and refocus on a loving God and the peace of Jesus. Roll Call is a “no-nonsense” book that places the Christian Faith in the forefront of the officers’ lives. In these drastic times of today and with the problems facing law enforcement, there is no better time for the faith community to have a police “Roll Call.”

Download or read book There Is Hope written by Chris Amos and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is a series of lessons. For the Christian the goal of each is to guide and encourage the student to become a little more like Jesus. For some those lessons are taught in the office or classroom; for others, they arise in the home; for others still those lessons may be taught on the road while traveling from place to place. For me, many of those lessons have come on the hard and often unforgiving streets of Norfolk, Virginia. Some will bring a smile to your face, while others may bring tears. Some result in great victory, while others appear to end in tragedy and defeat. Some may provide answers, while others may raise questions, but all have a common purpose. Each one, when learned, will lead to a closer walk with Jesus Christ. This book is a collection of those lessons written in hopes that you too may be encouraged in your quest to become more like our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. God is still, as in times past, using the most unsuspecting people to teach some of His most profound lessons. Join with me now as together we let the lessons begin.

This book is packed with Scripture to touch cops' hearts, as well as anecdotes and illustrations from the author's 33 years of police work.
Download or read book The Book of Proverbs Through the Eyes of a Cop written by Charles Gilliland and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Proverbs through the Eyes of a Cop is the second book in the Through the Eyes of a Cop devotional series. This ministry series was an inspiration from the Lord to the most unlikely of carriers. Throughout the Bible, God gives us examples of His desire to use "the least of these" to carry His message. My favorite example of this is Gideon (Judges 6-8). In Gideon's words, "My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family." Gideon gathered an army of 32,000 Israelites to fight the Midianites. The Bible described the Midianite army as "thick as locusts. Their camels could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore" (Judges 7:12). God whittled Gideon's army down to three thousand soldiers. He then told Gideon, "There are still too many men." God left Gideon an army of three hundred men. Needless to say, God won the victory that day. God was to get all of the glory, not the human "leader." This is my story. This devotional provides guidance for the Christian law-enforcement officer in knowing and understanding the biblical principles found in the book of Proverbs. Integrity, ethics, peace, and truth will be immediately recognizable as law enforcement characteristics and goals but are they easily identifiable as being from God's Word? We don't always give credit where credit is due, God's perfect Word.
Download or read book The Invisible Line written by Anne Lucci-Stahl and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people have heard of the Thin Blue Line. It has become a visible image of the line that police officers stand on each and every day. They remain vigilant, alongside each other and those they protect, guarding them from harm's way. But in front of each blue line, there is an invisible line. This line is an image that no one else sees. This is the line that protects the thin blue line. This is the police officer's wife and family. The Invisible Line represents a family's dedication, sacrifice, anonymity, and protection of their loved one. The Invisible Line is the difference between turmoil and peace. It stays nameless to avoid the targets, and stands strong in the name of honor. It is the threshold of an officer's home.
