Never Surrender
Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom | Jerry Boykin
1 post | 1 read
In 1978, Jerry Boykin joined what would become the world's premier Special Operations unit, Delta Force. The only promise: "A medal and a body bag." What followed was a .50 caliber round in the chest and a life spent with America's elite forces bringing down warlords and war criminals, despots, and dictators. In Colombia, his task force hunted the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. In Panama, he helped capture the brutal dictator Manuel Noriega, liberating a nation. From Vietnam to Iran to Mogadishu, Lt. General Jerry Boykin's life reads like an action-adventure novel. Boykin's powerful story will keep you riveted as he reveals how his military duty worked in tandem with his faith to bring him through the bloody storms of foreign battle-and through the political firestorm that ambushed him in his own country.

At first General Boykin's work was hard to get into. The chapters are short, but numerous. I would describe his writing style as someone giving snapshots of both his career and spiritual life. I forgot which chapter it was, but finally started to appreciate his life and get engrossed in his work. I highly recommend Never Surrender, especially those interested in U.S. Special Forces, faith in combat, and overcoming adversity.
