| Description: | Written by a street cop, this unique publication compares the various pieces of law enforcement equipment to the spiritual armor that the Bible describes in Ephesians chapter 6. Real-life law enforcement stories drive home the importance of each piece of equipment. Although much has been written about this well-known passage of Scripture, little has been written from the perspective of a Christian who wears and uses the physical armor of the police officer every day, fighting both the physical battle against crime in our society and the spiritual battle against evil that all individuals are called to fight. You don't have to be a cop or a Christian to be encouraged and challenged by this book. In addition to building your faith, this book will serve as a helpful introduction to the men and women who protect you and your community. Tony Miano is an 18-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (sworn and reserve), where he presently serves as a department chaplain. He is the founder and director of Ten-Four Ministries, which provides practical and spiritual support to the law enforcement community. He frequently speaks at churches, law enforcement fellowships, and chaplain conferences. Tony and his wife live in Santa Clarita, CA, with their three daughters. |

Tony Miano is a Man of God, with a burden for street cops. I love the man, and appreciate so much the work that he does. This book flows from Tony's heart, and examines the Christian's armour as it relates to the Police Officer. Great gift for new officers, or any officer for that matter.

After my third try of reading this book i completed it. I am very pleased to see these two subjects put together into something that can be useful for anyone. I'm in college working my way to be an LEO, and i loved it. Buy it. Read it. Give it to a friend to read.

Just finish reading this book and was really impressed with the similarities that Tony Miano compared the equipment of the Law Enforcement Officer with the spiritual armour that so many Christians forget to put on each and everyday that they proceed out into this secular world. Great job Tony!
