You just pinned on a badge that will open doors most people never walk through -- and it will close some you never imagined losing. Long shifts, hard calls, broken homes, and burned-out hearts have ended more law-enforcement careers than bullets ever have. Before you finish the police academy or within the first few years of this career, you need to hear this.

In plain, straightforward language, this book walks you through the traps that quietly destroy careers, marriages, and faith -- and shows, through real stories of officers who lost everything to a single bad decision, how staying close to Christ is the difference between finishing well and not finishing at all.

This is not a theology book. It is a survival guide for every rookie who knows the uniform isn't enough -- and who wants to come home, every shift, with his integrity, his family, and his faith intact.

Carry the badge. But first, carry the cross.
