Book Review ~ Jungle Warfare

Just finished reading Jungle Warfare, A Basic Field Manual for Christians in Sales by Christopher A. Cunningham. Don't you love the title? I do!

I'm not in "sales" per se, but every Christian needs to realize that when we are serving Christ we are in a War. This books spends 22 days developing a "battle plan" of action for the Christian salesman/woman. This book takes a 1941 Jungle Warfare manual and portrayed an excellent plan of action for the Christian. As an example, on Day 19 we are told to "Pray for Your Enemy". The basic field manual lists what to do when you meet an enemy and then goes on to list the scriptures that tell us to love our enemies and pray for them. I won't disclose how to pray for them. That's for you to read the book. This book serves as a fine pocket manual on how to carry ones self in the dog eat dog world of sales and how to win the battles that vocation (and most any other) throws at us. It's size makes it perfect for the brief-case or purse. I highly recommend it.
