Bøger af Matthew Hill

Being challenged by God to take a look at himself and who he was as a police officer, Sergeant Matthew Hill set out on a journey to find out if he was in the profession for himself or for a higher purpose. Drawing from the Beatitudes given by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, Sgt. Hill applies those principles to being a cop. Full of Scripture and on-the-job stories from various times during Sgt. Hill's career of patrolling the streets, Blue Attitudes not only offers guidance for police officers and their families, but also gives civilians an inside look into the life of a Christian law enforcement officer.
