Review

“Steve Watkins, member of the elite covert commandos that worked behind enemy lines in the Gulf War, tells his remarkable story in such a way that the reader can’t put it down. But the inside story is even more compelling as Steve records how he came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in the midst of his military service.” - John MacArthur

This is a great book for anyone interested in learning about the SEAL traininf pipeline as well good portion on Sniper Training. There is little written about actual combat operations except for about two chapters on Desert Shield/Storm.

For myself personally I'm not a religious person and frankly didn't care for the authors rather in depth explaination of his spiritual advanture of finding god and the small bits of scripture from the bible you'll find sprinkled about in the book, however taken for what it was it's an overall good read, but short with only 16 chapters.

This review is from: Meeting God Behind Enemy Lines (Paperback)

Steve Watkins was not always pastor of Kenton Baptist Church as he is today. In 1987, after deciding he was not eager to face four years of college, he decided to join the Navy with a view to being one of the elite Navy Seals. Not lacking in ability or motivation, he did just that and began a successful career in the military. He served in Iraq during the Gulf War but eventually left the Navy to pursue the pastorate. He graduated from the Masters Seminary in Los Angeles and, since then, has been serving Kenton Baptist Church in Kenton, Kentucky. This biography recounts his career in the armed forces and his eventual conversion. It is an enjoyable read, especially for those with an interest in military affairs. Watkins offers an interesting description of his conversion and is careful to ascribe all glory to God.

Steve gives real insight into training - as a Navy SEAL and as a Christian. He served his country as a SEAL and is now serving God as a graduate of The Master's Seminary. Thanks for sharing, Steve.
