If you couldn't tell already, Christian Soldier isn't your typical "Christian" book. I didn't plan it that way. I didn't set out to write a book that is trendy enough to push through social barriers. I didn't set out to write a book that scathes anyone or anything. Point of fact: I didn't set out to write a book at all.
However, I did.
I set out to positively impact people's lives who are barely hanging on.
I wanted to revisit the darkest most painful places of my life and my past, and offer my survival to those still fighting. I'll let the theologians argue over the subtle nuance of scripture. God has allowed me to go straight to hell on earth, and bring people back.
There has been a great deal of healing brought about by this book and all I can do is praise God for allowing me to be an instrument of his work.
For those of you who are struggling and fighting through desperation and hopelessness. Hang on just a little longer and we'll get through it.

Christian Soldier: How do you act like a Christian while holding a gun to someone's face?
An Autobiographical Tale Written By Ben Adams
Christian Soldier
I had a nervous albeit excited feeling in the pit of my stomach. It almost felt as if I were doing something horribly wrong. I was picking up a prostitute....Now she was in the car and telling me where to go. The conversation that took place inside the rental will forever live locked away in that little box of junk we'll never let our mother's hear.
This whole time I am thinking of Jesus.
I am a child of God and I am in love with His son Jesus Christ.
Whether or not you strap on a gun, every morning you wake up in the middle of a war in which you are a fighting soldier. And just like any other war, we sometimes miss the line separating good and evil. The focus is taken off of God and the line gets blurry.
So how do you act like a Christian while holding a gun to someone's face?
Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle-...
Psalm 144:1
NKJV
