Description: A collection of short stories with a Christian message presented in an adventurous, dramatic fashion, infused with humor and realism. The author uses brief, yet in depth vignettes of everyday life to explore how we can embody a Biblical concept (hope, love, forgiveness) each day. Warriors addresses big issues also, like the death of a family member, and drug use, but never in an accusing manor. The main characters, ranging from soldiers, construction workers, boxers, and professional baseball players, to fathers, businessmen and families, create a wide reader appeal. The primary target audience is men, but women have also shown a strong interest. Questions and thoughts to consider are included at the end of each of the twenty-five stories, to encourage the use of Warriors for weekly study in a church or men's group.
