Product Description

Would you like to have the confidence, the kind of driving purpose, that shuts out all fear? Do you want your life to be filled with adventure? There are many kinds of soldiers, and the ones that this book is written for don’t necessarily wear a uniform. The missions these soldiers undertake have more than just political or historical significance—they are impacting eternity. Bulletproof is a field manual for the Christian soldier. It addresses the issues of fear and risk from a Christian perspective, using primarily military examples and analogies. Holton teaches believers how to overcome fear and join the ranks of the army of God.

Terrorism. Murder. Disease. Job Loss. Road Rage. Weapons of Mass Destruction. Environmental Disaster.

[Headline]:

What? Are You Scared?

[Body copy]:

By every sense of reason, you should be. By faith, you don’t have to be.

God’s soldiers are issued body armor: Peace that surpasses understanding. But you must choose to put it on. Chuck Holton reveals how to claim this peace of mind and rest in the sovereignty of God’s plan while stationed in our dangerous world.

Not denying legitimate causes for fear, Holton’s balanced perspective to living boldly as a Christian today offers refreshing hope in the midst of rampant anxiety. Because when you begin seeing things from the Commander’s perspective, you won’t have to dodge bullets.

Until your mission is complete, you are bulletproof.

Story Behind the Book

“In October 2002, a sniper started killing people at random in the area where I live. The community almost ground to a standstill, with people refusing to leave their homes, drive the streets, or send their children to school until the killer was found. What disturbed me most was the reaction of many of my fellow Christians—one of fear just like their unsaved neighbors. I felt we were passing up a perfect opportunity to model the peace that passes all understanding to a very needy audience. “Since then I have come to realize that the Bible, almost in its entirety, tells us over and over again that we should not be afraid. A life lived trusting God is a fearless, confident life that will draw others to it.”


From the Trade Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living without fear, May 20, 2005
For years fear has tormented me. There are many experiences in my life that have contributed to this, but after becoming a Christian I wanted to totally free myself from this mindset. Chuck Holton's Book, Bulletproof, has greatly helped me to realize that we are able to live a fearless life under Divine protection, and guidance. I was especially touched by his chapter dealing with "bulletproof" children. He helped me understand about parental peace of mind, while also embracing responsible parenting. This book is a blessing to anyone struggling with fear issues. After finishing this book I have a renewed confidence, and for the first time in a long time am excited about living fear-free. Thank you, Mr. Holton.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing, September 17, 2008
This book is absolutely indispensable for Christian men in a battle setting. Any fears you may have had will dissolve quickly when you apply the knowledge and insight given in Mr. Holton's book. I do high risk security and go "hands on" within the context of low socioeconomic multi-family housing situations, and I often go against a superior force. Anything can happen, up to and including murder. The stress can destroy a man, but resting on the infallibility of God's word, Mr. Holton presents a clear, concise, first-hand account of the success and applicability of God's wisdom. Lest we not forget, God, too is a warrior.
