Ben Adams lives in Marion County, Florida with his wife Lavonne, his
son Ben, and his daughter Gladys. Ben served as a Military Police
Sergeant for nine years spending nearly thirteen months in Iraq before
serving as a Deputy Sheriff with the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Jesus Christ is King and HE reigns.
Christian Soldier serves more as the testimony of Ben Adams rather than a biography. Christian Soldier could be even better defined as a testament of Christ.
Ben Adams recognizes that Jesus Christ has healed him, and revealed that HE has had a plan for Ben's life, long before Ben ever knew.
However, Christian Soldier is a very real story of a very real life. A life that was shaped by the world and almost every evil this world has to offer. There are graphic depictions of child abuse, as well as some severely abrasive language. The stories in Christian Soldier are told the way they happened. Ben has been quoted as saying, "I personally didn't feel comfortable including curse words in the book... But that's the point. If you, me, or anyone else feels uncomfortable just reading those words, imagine how the six-year-old in the story feels. To be quite honest, the choice never felt like it was mine to make."
Most importantly, Christian Soldier is a success story. It is a story
that quite powerfully states, "Jesus Christ is the Permanent cure for
the pain of sin." The book is laden with scripture to naturally reveal
a genuine parallel to our lives. The Word of God is unchanging, yet
incredibly contemporary.
The book's foreword, written by Dr. David Modders, reads: "Whether people acknowledge it or not, there is a titanic battle raging between these two polar-opposite positions. This battle is raging not only in every person in the United States, but in every person, in every country around the world. In this book, Ben Adams not only captures this internal battle within us, he describes it in raw, vivid, and emotional detail....Most importantly, Ben shows all of us how to win this battle to glorify God's name. He accomplishes this through helping us understand how important a relationship with Jesus Christ is, and specifically through a beautifully laid-out description of how this relationship changes us from the inside out."
Ben prays that Christian Soldier will be placed in the hands of every person who has given up, or those who just need encouragement. PLEASE DO NOT KEEP THE BOOK. Pass it along. If you know someone who may need a copy of this book but can not afford it, Contact Ben by email. He's more concerned with getting it into the hands of the people who need it than he is with being a "Professional Christian".
