When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Brad said, “This book emerged from the hardships experienced and missteps made throughout my very own pre-deployment process and family preparation thereof. That said, I explore the pitfalls and successes experienced and share how an intentional, authentic, and dedicated prayer life will benefit both the service member and their loving family as they navigate the pre-deployment process and then their tour. This guidebook descends from a desire to augment the existing literature on deployment readiness provided, any guidance devoid of mention of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present God exacerbates an incomplete sight picture and understanding of the totality of the tools at one’s disposal. Prayerfully, this guidebook will help service members and their families, regardless of belief system or creed, set the stage for a physically, emotionally, and spiritually rewarding journey!”
