Heard the one about the guy who wrestled a lion in a pit on a snowy day just for fun? Or about the guy who took on a giant Egyptian twice his size? Or the three special ops ninjas who risked their all in enemy territory - just to get a bottle of spring water for their General?
These are just some of the startling exploits of the Mighty Men who fought alongside King David. The stories are gripping, astonishing and powerfully brought to life in the pages of this book.
But these are not just bed-time tales of heroic men from a lost age. They are stories that shine ...a powerful and sometimes uncomfortable light on what it means to be a true man of God – a Christian – today. Read it, reflect on it, think through the implications by yourself or with others to train yourself for the greatest battle of all.
Oh yes, and what's so special about a bean field that would make you want to stand your ground alone against a slavering horde of Philistines?
The answers to these and many more questions are to be found within this no-holds-barred guide to spiritual warfare for today's Christian man...

(Review written for 'The Hard Corps')
I had purchased 10 of these books for our men's meeting, so far the reviews from some of the men that have read the book was excellent.
I have read the book and found it to be inspiring, exciting and also helps you to re-focus on God.
So glad that I bought these books, well worth it.
I would encourage every man to read this book, its the ideal tool on our Christian pathway.
A good book for the faint hearted man! Gritty, punchy and (to use a good old welsh expression that I'd not heard in years) at times just chopsy!
Perhaps a best read for younger men who learn bravado and bravery are for men but forget that the bravest and yet humblest is non-other than our captain and king, Jesus.
I had some reservations when I first picked up this book, as it seemed to promote an oversized masculine Christianity. What Dai actually does is brilliant. He engages men where they are at, using a mostly unfamiliar part of the Bible, with clear, punch in the face applications that make you just beg God for help where you have definately failed. Particular stuff on humility and legacy hit me between the eyes. A few men at church have been reading it in the hope that, God-willing, we as older guys can try to model a Biblical way to be as ...a man for a younger generation and those on the fringe. Great book, and particularly to see something come from a fellow welsh man!
