Overview

Does your presence matter in society? Every new police officer has ambitions for making a difference in their community and are convinced their service in law enforcement helps do that. Over the course of a police officer's career, the crime rate in that community will increase, many crimes will go unsolved, and the suffering and difficulties common in life will not discriminate between the wealthy and the poor. However, there is a way to make a positive difference, a lasting difference. It takes humility, compassion and an open heart and mind, but the impact one can have on society can influence generations to come. Can we live in such a way that we relate to suffering with the people who suffer, stand with people who face difficulties, laugh with the people who laugh and run to the people who need us? Of course. We all need a compass to give us perspective. The Bible is that compass for me. In it, I have discovered we can learn about how God made a difference in this world by sending His Son to become one of us. He suffered like we suffer. He shared his life with others. He didn't need to, and He certainly made Himself vulnerable for doing so. But He stands as a lasting example to all who come after Him how we can make a difference by doing the same, whether we are police officers, realtors, doctors, or any other people related profession. This book is reflective and inspirational, intended to ask questions worth contemplating. Combining real world experience as a police officer and parallel stories in the Bible, we can discover that the challenges, questions and struggles we face today are no different than the issues mankind has faced for thousands of years. The goal is for you and me to understand both well enough that we can stand together with others in their struggles. As Christ became one of us, perhaps others will say that about us.
