Given the multitude of challenges faced by our nation's service members, Chaplain Scott McChrystal's Daily Strength for the Battle is a powerful devotional tool for military men, women, and families. This inspirational guide, drawn from Chaplain McChrystal's significant experience as an infantry leader and a chaplain spiritual leader, is a very practical means by which we might all 'put on the armor of God' on a daily basis. I truly applaud this powerful spiritual ammunition to promote 'Faith in the Foxhole and Hope on the Home Front' for military men and women around the globe."”

Every man, particularly a warrior, needs time every day with his King. Focused, purposeful, gripping time. And if he’s a busy man (know any warrior who’s not?), the punch of that time is served well by a directed devotional book like this one offered by my friend, Scott McChrystal, who is himself a tested warrior. And a busy, focused, and purposeful man. Enjoy the journey with him. Drive on!”

The stresses of military training and combat heighten spiritual awareness. Scott McChrystal’s book hits that mark beautifully! These stories and devotions are solidly focused on God’s Word, and written in a way that uniquely connect with the military. The Lord prepared him for this work: first as an infantry platoon leader in Vietnam, a Master Parachutist and Ranger; then as an Army Chaplain serving soldiers and families across the Army, he is father of two soldiers.”
~ Kenneth L. Farmer, Jr.
M.D., MG, USA (Ret)

Scott McChrystal knows God and he knows military personnel. 'Strength for the Battle' brings the two together in a powerful way. Scott’s 30 plus years of military leadership enables him to speak with biblical authority into the minds of veterans. This is an excellent tool for bringing veterans into the transformational presence of God.”
