Sobre este áudio
This eye-opening book invites listeners of all political and denominational stripes into a more meaningful conversation and community with soldiers and veterans.
If Jesus is God, then God is a grunt—the humble, hardy folk placed at the bottom of the social hierarchy who are relied on to accomplish the dirtiest, most difficult (and most thankless) work. This is good news for millions of Christian soldiers and veterans in the U.S. because they have had to make an impossible choice, with no perceivable middle ground, between patriot and pacifist.
In his new book, God Is a Grunt, Logan Isaac offers an opportunity for GIs, veterans, and those close to them to read Christian traditions as a soldier would—by and through the lived experiences of military service. This well-researched, meditative guide for Christians who have served their country delves deep into the Bible, while Isaac shares his own beliefs and thoughts on the life-altering experiences of battle. He attempts to fill the void most Christians in the military feel by providing theological resources to discern a better way of discipleship for GIs, affirming the nuance and complexity of armed service and the gifts GIs extend to Christians around the world.
Resumo da Crítica
“In his new book, Logan Isaac invites us to share in the story of Christian soldiers with grit and grace, encouraging the church into more thoughtful conversations about, and meaningful community with, military families. This book could transform and even save lives.” —James Martin, SJ, author of Learning to Pray
“When one soldier and seventeen veterans take their lives every day in so-called ‘God-blessed America,’ it’s time to have a serious conversation about the Christian faith and military service. God Is a Grunt forces readers to wrestle with brave moral questions about war-waging and peacemaking, mental health and neighbor-love. With a mix of righteous anger and theological imagination, Logan M. Isaac challenges popular misconceptions that will disturb the easy confidence of partisan readers on both sides of the aisle. This book isn’t safe, but it is good.” —Jonathan Merritt, contributing writer for The Atlantic and author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch
"One of the biggest health issues facing our military and veterans community today is mental health and suicide. This crisis has claimed the lives of thousands of service members who lost the war to the demons they battle and the numbers are only getting worse. Logan's new book God Is a Grunt takes us away from the stereotypical one size fits all approach and addresses this crisis through the eyes of the Christian soldier. As a Christian myself, I believe faith has more to offer military families which Logan depicts masterfully in his book, and will leave the reader challenging mental health misconceptions and beliefs. This book will challenge the reader in a positive way and in the right hands, God is a Grunt will save lives. God bless America." —Ryan Henrickson, Special Forces Engineer and author of Tip of the Spear
