Under Orders

There are many times in our lives that we do things and act certain ways because of the knowledge we have gained. It is this knowledge that guides our performance, advancement, and success in our chosen vocations. The military is no less subject to these observable phenomena or the mirror of it which is action or knowledge without understanding.

As is many jobs and lifestyles, people act or react to tasks in their job and perform mechanical activities devoid of true understanding. This is true of the practice of faith, religion, and Biblical understanding. That is the point of this book. It brilliantly portrays the lives we lead devoid of true understanding. Chaplain McCoy provides us with detailed observations and correlates them to real life situations, situations that must necessarily be dependent on understanding and not knowledge alone.

It is this imperative that he expands on in a series of “orders” and utilizes them to illustrate actual versus optimal judgment based decisions. In fact he demonstrates how empty many of us are and poignantly paints a picture of true wantonness in the people who secretly search for answers. His “orders’ are guides for self examination and designed to focus our thoughts and energies toward finding and understanding the truth about ourselves in direct respect of Biblical laws and truths.

It truly is a spiritual handbook and definitely accomplishes the desired target.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone, not just military. If you are searching for something but not sure what; If you have a hunger for something better, something more pure and fulfilling, this book is a great place to discover sound Biblical truths and personal growth.
