Item Description...
Jeff Struecker, a "Black Hawk Down" hero, the Army's Top Ranger, now an Army Chaplain, relates his own tales from the frontlines of every U.S. initiative since Panama, and tells how God taught him faith from the front in fear-soaked times. As readers go on-mission with Struecker through his harrowing tales, they will learn how to face their own fears with faith in a mighty God. Just as he told one of his charges in Mogadishu: "The difference between being a coward and a hero is not whether you're scared, it's what you do while you're scared." |

 | INSPIRATIONAL Oct 2, 2009 |
| An excellent book I have recommended it to friends and family. A good book for young and old. So many books written by Type A special ops types are so self centered. It is refreshing to read about a warrior who knows Who provides his strength. This is a book you will not want to put down. | | | | Excellent Reading Aug 29, 2009 |
| The product was shipped and arrived in a timely manner. The book was profound, wholesome, and very meaningful. I highly recommend it. | | | | Powerful testimonial, hard to put down, a soldier's soul-eye view Jul 17, 2009 |
| If you saw the movie or read the book, Black Hawk Down, you will appreciate the first hand account by the leader of the Ranger rescue convoy, Jeff Struecker. Struecker describes how his Christian faith helped him overcome fear and how his combat experiences stirred him to pursue his calling to preach the gospel. Well written, inspiring, perfect for challenging real men to serve Jesus Christ with all their heart. Buy three copies, one for a friend, one for a vet, one for you. Rangers lead the way. | | |  | the road to unafraid Jul 14, 2009 |
| the author has a good story for a short book. but he is only a mediocre wordsmith | | | | Very suspenseful and insightful Apr 19, 2009 |
The Road to Unafraid is definitely a quick and suspenseful read. The author briefly tells us about his childhood and training to become a Ranger (and, later, a chaplain). He spends most of the book describing his combat experiences and the military-related challenges he's faced.
Jeff Struecker is very open about the fears, frustrations, and challenges he dealt with while in combat and what he learned from them. He also gives insight into military culture and a soldier's view of the various military conflicts the U.S.A. has been involved in since he enlisted in the army.
While he descibes scenes from his various deployments, much of the book is a detailed view of the part he played in the Somalia "black Hawk Down" incident. His vivid descriptions made me feel like I was with him in the scene, surrounded by danger. It certainly did get my heart racing. His descriptions of the Best Ranger competition were also excellent--I got tired just reading about all they went through.
Jeff Struecker also describes how his Christian faith helped him deal with the stresses of military life and the fears involved in combat. Overall, this book well-written, suspenseful, and insightful. I'd recommend it to anyone who has never been in the military but who wants insight into what soldiers may face when in training and combat.
