Author's Book Chronicles His Time Spent Serving the Military

New release is a devotional for those who live daily in harm's way.

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- Leonard LaQue Bryant has written Strength for the Fight: A Military Devotional ($9.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-616-4) to provide "spiritual support and encouragement to the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who are currently deployed in combat zones in defense of our liberty." These men and women face danger daily and have a "constant need to focus on God in order to the job they have chosen to do."

The author desires "above all else that the service members reading this book will understand God's love and concern for them as they are thousands of miles away from home." He hopes they are "aware of the millions of people in this country who are praying for them." And he prays they "understand they are loved and their service is valued by the majority of the American people."

According to Bryant, "the men and women who are in harm's way need a devotional tailor-made for them, written from their perspective by someone who knows exactly what they have experienced." He has "stood in their shoes and understands the hazards, challenges and difficulties of being in a combat zone."

Leonard LaQue Bryant has deployed to combat during the war on terror three times with the 82nd Airborne Division--twice to Afghanistan and once to Iraq--and is currently serving with the Army Reserves in Iraq. He is a 38-year-old husband and father of three and makes his home in North Carolina.
