I was recently reminded of the impact that sharing Justice Revealed can have. During our “Thanksgiving Pursuit” event, we distributed approximately 1400 copies of the book to law enforcement officers. It’s always encouraging to hear back from those who received a copy and learn how the book has touched their lives.
Last week, I received a message that truly brought a smile to my face, and I wanted to share it with you:
“Hi! I am a patrol deputy for —— County, Texas. I was about to refuel in —— when a gentleman pulled off of Hwy 281 and asked if he could give me something. … lol … I said “sure” then, “it depends.” He gave me a copy of your book (Justice Revealed) along with a card. I went to where no one would flag me down and I read the entire book. INSPIRING! Great book! I am proudly a Christian and have always said and truly believe I don’t know how anyone can do this job without the Lord! I’ve been a cop for 20 years and I never had one day that I didn’t rely upon Him to guide me. Thank you for writing the book and I have plenty of officers/deputies to pass it along.”
Sincerely, Deputy (Name Withheld) —— County Sheriff’s Office
It’s messages like these that reinforce the importance of faith and inspiration within the law enforcement community. The stresses and challenges faced by officers are immense, and having a source of strength and guidance can make all the difference. This deputy’s words highlight the reliance many officers have on their faith to navigate the difficulties of their profession. The fact that he intends to pass the book along to other officers is especially gratifying, as it extends the potential for positive impact within the department. It’s a reminder that even a small act of kindness, like giving a book, can have a ripple effect and provide much-needed encouragement to those who serve and protect us. The relationships matter that are built through these interactions are invaluable.
