From the Author:

This book is based on a true story…a story that is heartbreaking at times but will leave readers with a better understanding of what a woman will do to protect her child. When I first heard this birth mother's story I was touched by it, so much so that I needed to know more. When I knew more, I knew I needed to write my novel. The result is Baby Girl.

WARRIOR: A CALL TO EVERY MAN EVERYWHEREby Sam Laing

Men, we are called to be warriors.
Deep in our souls, God has placed the heart of a warrior. It is the part of us that longs for battle, for conquest, for victory. We sense it: I have a battle to fight. A struggle to face. A war to win.

The men of the Bible were all engaged in battle. They fought different battles–in different situations, times, and ways, with their own distinct personalities–but fight they did. And Jesus? He was the greatest warrior of them all.

And now, brothers, it is our turn. Today God is calling every one of us to be his warriors in that same conflict. Just as the heroes of the faith went to war for their God, so must we.

This book, based upon the life of David, is a call to every man to rise up and be a warrior for God. Also available is a companion volume, The Warrior Workbook, a tool that will help you bring the principles into your daily life by 1) showing you how to become a part of and build a Warrior Group, and 2) providing additional valuable study materials. The Warrior Group is vital in that it will give you the friendships and encouragement you need to win the great battles ahead.

Are you ready to be inspired? Are you ready to become a mighty warrior for God? Warrior is the book for you!
