A challenging, funny, and honest account of a Christian Army officer's early career in the nineties, including his service in Sandhurst, Bosnia and Germany.
Mark Tolec has produced a fascinating insight into the training and development of a young Army officer. Persecuted and ridiculed for his Christian faith whilst at Sandhurst, and facing more challenges as he embarked on his early career, Mark proved the faithfulness of God and the power of prayer in his life again and again. Hilarious at times, sobering at others, this book captures the essence of British soldiers' humour and dedication to their country, their comrades, and their work. There are great lessons to be learnt from reading this book, both regarding living day-to-day as a Christian, as well as leading and managing those entrusted into your care.
