Lou and Linda Harrison have ministered to the military for nearly fifty years through Cadence International—an organization dedicated solely to the purpose of “sharing the Gospel and our lives with the military community.”
Out of these years of relationships with military people, Lou has composed a thoughtful and tender exposition of the warrior’s soul. Cadence International joins him in dedicating this book to every one of our country’s warriors and to their family and friends who walk lovingly and faithfully beside them.
