Not A Warrior

Not a Warrior

Rediscovering the Strength of Everyday Faithfulness

Not every Christian is called to be a warrior. Some are called to something quieter, slower, and often overlooked-faithful discipleship.

In this honest and hope-filled book, pastor and missionary Patrick Beard shares his journey from zealous "warrior" to humbled follower. As a young man, Patrick had visions of storming the spiritual battlefield. But when tragedy struck-a twin pregnancy gone wrong, a medical evacuation, and the lifelong care of a disabled child-his world was shattered. Why would God take a warrior off the front lines?

Through the mentorship of faithful men, the daily example of his daughter's quiet endurance, and nearly three decades of ministry, Patrick discovered a better way: the strength of simple obedience.

This book is an invitation for men who are weary of the pressure to perform, who feel crushed under expectations of bravado, or who wonder if they've failed in their calling. Here you'll find encouragement to:

• Live with faithfulness over success

• Find strength in weakness and grace in suffering

• Rediscover the joy of following Jesus daily

• Walk in humility, perseverance, and hope

You don't need to be a warrior to honor God. You only need to be a disciple.

If you're ready to trade exhaustion for rest, anger for grace, and bravado for steady faithfulness, this book will point you back to the One who said, "Follow Me."
