Synopsis

“What does God think about me killing all these people?” This one question haunted SSG Stephen Conway, from hell-on-earth in Ramadi, Iraq to his home that became a battlefield. Brave Rifles takes you there, puts the gun in your hand, your finger on the trigger, the enemy before you, then walks you through the Sacred Scriptures to apply the healing salve of God’s word to those stricken by the horrors of war. What does God think about war? Should a Christian fight? What about Jesus? The Ten Commandments? What about atrocity? Brave Rifles pierces to the heart of the most battle-hardened warrior. Bradford Smith decisively bears the word of God in answering the most difficult questions concerning war, killing, and ultimately, the warrior's place in it all. A must read for all warriors and those who love them! Major General Bob Dees U.S. Army, Retired Insight gleaned from biblical truth, exhaustive research, and years of frontline combat experience as a special operations pilot in Iraq and Afghanistan.

From the battlefield to the Bible, Bradford Smith describes how the Gospel of Jesus Christ heals the scars on the warrior’s soul. Chaplain (Major) Jeff Struecker U.S. Army, Retired
