The Road to Unafraid: How the Army's Top Ranger Faced Fear and Found Courage through

By Jeff Struecker

Book Overview

Jeff Struecker, a "Black Hawk Down" hero, the Army's Top Ranger, now an Army Chaplain, relates his own tales from the frontlines of every U.S. initiative since Panama, and tells how God taught him faith from the front in fear-soaked times. As readers go on-mission with Struecker through his harrowing tales, they will learn how to face their own fears with faith in a mighty God. Just as he told one of his charges in Mogadishu: "The difference between being a coward and a hero is not whether you're scared, it's what you do while you're scared."

Great Book!! Highly Recommended!!

Jeff is a proven leader and his story is one that will impact multitudes. Thanks for your courage. -A US Navy Chaplain

At once a story of courage, military experience and survival

In 1993 author Jeff Struecker went to Somalia as part of an elite military force and found himself on a suicide mission to rescue a band of downed soldiers. At once a story of courage, military experience and survival, THE ROAD TO UNAFRAID also serves as a model for spiritual strength and thus is especially recommended for any spiritual collection.

Wonderful read, inspirational, riveting

I bought 3 copies of this book--one for me and one for each of my sons who are in the military. Captain Struecker's account of his life as a Ranger, and as a Christian, gave me a sense of great respect for him, the way he made decisions, and pride in this young man's accomplishments, not only for him but for our military! What a grueling experience to become a Ranger! I can only be amazed that these men survive these arduous assignments. This fine man has dedicated his life to serving our country, serving our Lord, and serving our soldiers and I am so thankful to him for that. I hope his book will inspire my sons to the same heights of achievement.

Wow. What a story! Incredible Read.

I read this book in 2 days. I literally couldn't put it down. I suggest that anyone who was a fan of Black Hawk Down, the movie or the book, pick up this latest release to get an absolute first hand perspective of the Ranger who led the convey into Mogadishu several times to rescue pinned down Rangers in battle. I can only hope that at some point, my life will have the signifigance that Captain Struecker has attained. What a class act.

No matter if your in the Military or not, READ THIS BOOK!!

If there were 10 stars this book would get all ten! Don't think that just because you're not in the military that you can't connect with this book. If you really care about the struggles your American Warriors are facing everyday, in far off places around the world away from family and friends, then you will read this book and won't be disappointed. Chaplain Struecker has been there, done it, and let's you know how he dealt with it every step of the way by putting his faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. I know without a doubt that our Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors and Marines and their families will also be able to relate to this book, as they struggle with their daily lives serving a Nation at war and seek to strengthen their walk with the Lord.
