While this book looks at military leadership in particular, any novice or experience leader in any field can apply the Biblical leadership principles explored here in this book. God's Word speaks volumes leaders who want to fully live the life God has called them to even in such a challenging environment as the battlefield. Read on! What you find might surprise you!
