The Servant Warrior; The Role of Faith in Policing
by Kevin McInnes
Why did I write this book? To show that being a police officer and a person of faith within the career is completely compatible, contrary to how many people have viewed faith and policing. Most people see faith in policing as a weakness not a strength, a crutch not suitable for a strong, macho person who must control all situations and be in control of him or herself. I disagree with this very strongly and I wanted to show that a person of faith, particularly in the God of the Bible , is in fact seen by God as highly favoured, honoured and loved. This a powerful strength if seen in the right context. I hope you enjoy the read.
What others are saying about the book
A rare find. Few books provide such spiritual relevance combined with a direct application to reality. It speaks to the power of faith, and the consequences of living without it. Police are society's servants, and McInnes' book reinforces that only God strengthens His servants. Finally, an emphasis on Christianity in law enforcement and in our lives; a book without excuses or apologies for hurt feelings. A true testimony of God's laws and principles and their application to our lives. A timely message for a weary world.

I've read this book and think it is excellent. it is well written, easily understooad and so encouraging. Thanks for taking time to follwo the Lord's directions and penning for us; good Christian instruction. Thanks for being so honest and personal. As we know, Yes, you can be a Christian and a cop. They are called of God for His glory and purpose. many officers need to read your book so they can come to realize "their calling."

Hooah. The position that Kevin has taken requires real courage.
Especially, I think, in Canada. This is a message that needs to get out. May God bless you, and your endeavors!

I have known Kevin for quite a while and this book epitomizes to me his dedication to his faith and Police work. It put a lot of things in place for me. It is easy to read and understand and I highly recommend it to all serving police officers, especially those just starting their careers.
