5.0 out of 5 stars The Passion of a Warrior, February 19, 2012

This review is from: Laus Deo: Selections From My Articles in Canada Free Press (Paperback)

Jim is a former Navy SEAL. Most people do not know that one of the requirements to become a SEAL is to have a very high IQ. Jim is also a member of MENSA the high IQ society. This book is some of the wisdom collected from the passion of a warrior and the insight of a genius, You have a unique opportunity to be exposed to the high level thinking of a patriot warrior. When I read it I was reminded of the writings of our founding fathers.
