SEMPER FIDELIS LEADERSHIP

He stood outside the door for three minutes before he knocked.

He had rehearsed what he would say the way he used to plan operations — carefully, with contingencies. But no plan could prepare him for the possibility that his daughter might not want to open it.

Gary Wright spent a career becoming fluent in the courage it takes to hold a perimeter. What he wasn't trained for was the courage it takes to hold a family. Semper Fidelis Leadership is his unflinching account of what happens when the walls a warrior builds to survive combat become the walls that keep the people he loves locked out — and the long, grace-soaked work of tearing them back down.

A Marine veteran, police officer, and founder of Unstuckness Ministry and Leadership Advisory, Gary doesn't offer easy answers or motivational platitudes. He offers Scripture, scars, and the hard-won truth that you can excel at everything that gets measured and still fail at everything that matters.

This book is for the warrior still fighting the war no one can see. For the father who hasn't made the call yet. For the spouse who stayed. For anyone wondering if grace really reaches as far as where they're standing.

It will cost you something to read. What it gives back is real.
