This eye-opening book invites readers of all political and denominational stripes into a more meaningful conversation and community with soldiers and veterans.

If Jesus is God, then God is a grunt—the humble, hardy folk placed at the bottom of the social hierarchy who are relied on to accomplish the dirtiest, most difficult (and most thankless) work. This is good news for millions of Christian soldiers and veterans in the U.S. because they have had to make an impossible choice, with no perceivable middle ground, between patriot and pacifist.

In his new book, God Is a Grunt, Logan Isaac offers an opportunity for GIs, veterans, and those close to them to read Christian traditions as a soldier would—by and through the lived experiences of military service. This well-researched, meditative guide for Christians who have served their country delves deep into the Bible, while Isaac shares his own beliefs and thoughts on the life-altering experiences of battle. He attempts to fill the void most Christians in the military feel by providing theological resources to discern a better way of discipleship for GIs, affirming the nuance and complexity of armed service and the gifts GIs extend to Christians around the world.

God is a Grunt… As soon as I read the title, I reached for my dictionary to check the definition. The author does an excellent job breaking down the importance of many words and scriptures. The author also includes some eye-opening statistics.

God is a Grunt is not only geared to military people; it’s geared to everyone. There are so many assumptions and not a lot of conversations. This book will help people start the conversation about what happens behind the scenes.

I recommend this book!
