Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police officers work in a world where there is constant struggle between good and evil. More than any other public service profession; those in the field of law enforcement are in a unique position to make a spiritual difference in the lives of both co-workers and citizens whom they encounter. However; without a firm spiritual foundation, the stress found in a law enforcement career can drag the officer down emotionally thus leading to stress in the family, divorce, addiction, and in extreme cases even suicide. The Peacekeepers Bible study is designed to be used by individual law enforcement officers and small groups. It is written by a Christian law enforcement veteran using real life situations that all officers can appreciate. By using biblical quotes and spiritual references, the Peacekeepers study helps you discover and understand God's purpose for your life and career. Chapter topics include issues such as work stress, becoming spiritually connected, developing a stronger marriage and family, and being a sound witness for Christ. This is a must read book for anyone in the field of law enforcement who may be struggling with the question "How can I be both a cop and a Christian?"
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 Take Up the Shield written by Tony Miano and published by . This book was released on 2005-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a street cop, this unique publication compares the various pieces of law enforcement equipment to the spiritual armor that the Bible describes in Ephesians chapter 6. The importance of each piece of equipment is driven home through engaging, real-life police stories (responding to the infamous L.A. Riots, the devastating 1994 Northridge earthquake, working in jails, making arrests, and more). Although much has been written about this well-known passage of Scripture, little has been written from the perspective of a Christian who wears and uses the physical armor of the police officer every day, fighting both the physical battle against crime in our society and the spiritual battle against evil that all individuals are called to fight. You don't have to be a cop or a Christian to be encouraged and challenged by this book. In addition to building your faith, this book will serve as a helpful introduction to the men and women who protect you and your community.

Book excerpt: The Bible contains many stories of prostitution. Feminist and liberation readings of these biblical narratives have often made sex workers invisible. 'Sex Working and the Bible' examines stories of biblical prostitution through the experiences and understanding of sex workers today. The Bible narratives - ranging across Rahab in the Book of Joshua, the story of Solomon and the two prostitutes, the anointing women traditions, and the apocalyptic vision of the whore of Babylon in Revelation - are set within both a practical and theoretical framework. This radical book offers a new, more inclusive way of approaching issues of gender, sexuality and prostitution in the Bible.
