This isn’t a feel-good churchy pie-in-the-sky treatment of this subject. It’s a needed exposé of what the Bible actually teaches about these sometimes controversial topics. It also focuses on the Bible beliefs and faith of the Founding Fathers of the United States, and the original meaning of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In the process, it brings greater clarity to these much debated topics. You won’t be subjected to gory details in this book, but you will be exposed to the difficult choices which surround firearm defense. Importantly, you'll be given the biblical tools needed for making hard, life and death moral choices. You've probably never heard a pastor or church leader teach on this topic. Yet it is critically important for us to understand what the Bible actually has to say about these timely issues. Subjects such as our God-given Right of self-defense, firearm ownership, concealed carry, castle doctrines, the use of deadly force, and shoot-to-kill or shoot-to-wound, are all pivotal issues for us today. Many are shocked to learn that these topics are addressed in the Bible. This book explains the Bible viewpoint, and what Jesus taught on these subjects which today are taboo in most churches. Bible passages are cited throughout, and hundreds more are included in footnotes, keeping the focus on the Bible not personal opinion. The author, SIG SWANSTROM, is a former police detective and SWAT team operator who worked in the Los Angeles area. During his years of service, he personally had many deadly force encounters with armed criminals, so his writing is real world. And today, as the owner of a highly acclaimed firearms training academy in Texas, SIG has also learned how to capture the interest of his audiences as he teaches practical skills in the unique context of biblical truth.

Sky-is-falling paranoia isn't helpful. We just need to be alert, prepared, and ready to roll. SIG SWANSTROM and DAVID CRAWFORD help us wrap our minds around why we need to make our emergency preparations a top priority. In the process, they show us how to get ready for a tomorrow that may look very different from today. Similar to CRAWFORD’S bestselling novel 'Lights Out,' his 48-page novelette 'Ready to Roll,' which is only available in this book, is a heart-pounding fiction story based on a credible threat. It is also a riveting reminder that grave danger can strike suddenly and without warning. SWANSTROM has extensive experience with crime, civil unrest, and disasters, so he is able to do three things for us. He helps us understand the risks we face today. Plus, he uses the fiction story to give us practical insights, which we can then use to guide our own preparations. And, to further validate his insights, he outlines the U.S. Government’s quiet but extensive preparations, so that we can use this information to inform our own planning. SIG SWANSTROM is a security consultant and founder of two firearm defense academies. A former Los Angeles area police detective and SWAT team operator, he has had many deadly force encounters. And, he has also experienced numerous tragic disasters. He was on-scene for two deadly earthquakes, as well as the largest volcanic eruption in modern U.S. history. He was first on-scene at the crash of a commercial airliner in a densely populated residential area, and he arrived minutes after a terrorist bombing of a McDonald's restaurant. In addition, he lived in Guatemala for several years during their bloody civil war. During that time, his installation was attacked three times by insurgents. So, his experience is both diverse and extensive. DAVID CRAWFORD's novel 'Lights Out' is a bestseller and one of the top books in its genre. A theatrical movie based on it, 'The Lights Out Saga; Heroes Will Rise' is currently in production. An avid sportsman, Crawford likes to hunt, fish, hike, off-road, and shoot. He is a 4th-degree black belt in karate and teaches self-defense skills to adults and children. He has been involved in relief efforts after a number of major disasters. This book is the first volume in a four-book series. It explains why preparation is so important. Books 2 and 3, focus on evacuation, safe-haven selection, and shelter-in-place. And, the final book in the series which is scheduled for release in 2019, explains how to set up a safe-haven retreat location.
