Battle Ready: First Due: Spiritual Tactics For The Fire-ground Of Life, (Paperback)

<p><b>THE ALARM IS RINGING. ARE YOU READY TO ANSWER?</b></p><p>The biggest lie you have ever been told is that peace means the absence of fire. We grow up hoping for a quiet life, believing that if we follow the rules, the emergencies will stop. But the truth-the "No Sugar Coating" reality-is that we live in a world that is fully involved.</p><p>Your marriage, your children, your career, and your sanity are constantly under threat from an enemy who wants to burn it all down.</p><p>In the fire service, <b>"First Due"</b> refers to the first engine company to arrive on the scene. They don't have the luxury of waiting for backup. They have to assess the scene, pull the hose, and attack the fire immediately.</p><p>As a husband, a father, and a believer, <b>you are First Due.</b> You are the Incident Commander of your own life. When the crisis hits, you cannot afford to panic. You cannot afford to be looking for your gear while the roof is collapsing.</p><p>In <i>Battle Ready: First Due</i>, Jeffrey Abercrombie-a U.S. Army combat veteran and 20-year volunteer firefighter-trades the trenches for the fireground to deliver a tactical manual for spiritual survival.</p><p>Strip away the religious jargon and the "civilian" mindset. It is time to enter the Academy. Through the lens of the fire service, you will learn how to: </p><ul><li><p><b>Master the Size-Up: </b> Move from complacency (Condition White) to situational awareness, reading the "smoke" of your life before the flames appear.</p></li><li><p><b>Wear Your PPE: </b> Understand why the Armor of God is the only thing standing between you and a fatal burn in an IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) environment.</p></li><li><p><b>Secure a Water Supply: </b> Stop fighting major spiritual battles with the "tank water" of your own willpower and tap into the infinite pressure of the Holy Spirit.</p></li><li><p><b>Survive the Flashover: </b> Execute immediate action drills when your world explodes, learning to "get low" and find the thermal protection of humility.</p></li><li><p><b>Trust the Brotherhood: </b> Reject the "Freelancer" mentality and embrace the safety of the Kitchen Table, because no one fights a fire alone and lives.</p></li></ul><p>This is not a devotional for a quiet Sunday morning. This is a field manual for the smoke-filled hallway of a Tuesday night crisis.</p><p>The heat is rising. The structure is compromised. The victims are waiting. You have been called to the line. It is time to stop drifting and start fighting.</p><p><b>Suit up. Clip in. Get First Due.</b></p>
