BADGE AND CROSS

You just pinned on a badge that will open doors most

people never walk through — and it will close some you

never imagined losing. Long shifts, hard calls, broken

homes, and burned-out hearts have ended more law-

enforcement careers than bullets ever have. Before you

finish the police academy or within the first few years of

this career, you need to hear this.

In plain, straightforward language, this book walks you

through the traps that quietly destroy careers, marriages,

and faith — and shows, through real stories of officers

who lost everything to a single bad decision, how staying

close to Christ is the difference between finishing well

and not finishing at all.

This is not a theology book. It is a survival guide for

every rookie who knows the uniform isn't enough —

and who wants to come home, every shift, with his

integrity, his family, and his faith intact.

Carry the badge. But first, carry the cross.

-- Dr. Ronald Graham
