Spirituality: Inner Armor
by Jim Amsing

Spirituality: Inner Armor provides an antidote to the toxic effects that evil has in the lives of peace officers. True-life police stories from front-line officers portray the reality of evil actions and it’s effects in the lives of everyone involved. When police officers are strong in mind, body, and spirit they can serve with humility, courage, compassion, and hope because they see opportunities to be change agents in society and refuse to succumb to cynicism, apathy, and despair. An informed spirituality that is open to wisdom will lead to an interior peace and harmonic congruence in the inner person that will necessarily reveal itself in outer actions. Peace officers who are willing to constantly grow in knowledge and practice of inner armor spirituality will find tranquility amidst chaos, peace during war, and right action in perplexity. Those who are willing to engage in the battle with evil will have battered shields and dented armor, but the inner armor of spirituality will sustain, renew and guide the guardians of society into the harbor of peace.

Jim Amsing offers us a challenging, clear and practical theology that was tested in the streets alongside other police officers and criminals. This book is written unlike most books in that Jim tells moving and insightful stories the way cops would share their stories with one another. If you want to learn about how the reality of policing intersects with practical spirituality, take this tour of duty inside the soul of a police officer who has felt it was his calling to wrestle with evil and uphold the good…face-to-face with the worst criminals. He has seen events occur that only the word “miracle” could explain and once you start reading each story you will be spellbound. Each chapter is like a short story that weaves its way through the life and career of the author and sheds light on the reader’s own life stance. This book challenges all of us to re-examine our foundations and re-root ourselves in the organic soul…I mean, soil. Terry D. Anderson, PhD Professor of Criminology (Ret.) Chief Leadership Officer of the International Academy of Public Safety
