6. Why the Peacekeeper’s Bible Study? ► Was written with the “seeker”, “un- churched”, or “non-Christian” officer in mind ► Each chapter addresses topics of interest to the individual officers and relates those experiences back to the Bible and specific Bible verses. (target specific study lessons) ► Lessons are easy to read and each chapter is 7-12 pages with question and answers at the end

7. Why the Peacekeeper’s ► An Opportunity for you to give back in service to God through the use of your time, talents, and gifts by outreaching to your officers. 1 st Peter 4:10 (LB): “God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings” ► The Study is flexible to your own denomination or church affiliation.

11. Some Comments on the Peacekeeper’s Study The study has certainly been a real blessings not only to myself but also to those who faithfully attend. I have noticed a increase in members wanting to know and will to study God's word. I would out hesitation highly recommend this Bible study to any and all Law enforcement personnel. L.R. Whitted – Law Enforcement Christian Fellowship at Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia

12. The Peacekeepers book was an excellent tool for establishing our small group. We have since moved on to other study material that is not specifically designed for police officers, which I think shows how much this group has grown. We have six regular members of our group who meet faithfully every Thursday night. Two are retired officers, one Detective Sergeant, two patrol officers, and one police Chaplain (and me). The effect these men have had on those around them has been great. They have passed your book around to others in the department, and have used it to start conversations they normally would not have had. Sgt. Chris Delacanal – Las Vegas, NV

13. Peacekeeper studies are expanding by Outreaching to Spouses of Law Enforcement Officers through two (2) Peacekeeper’s fellowship chapter groups designed specifically for Spouses; Concord, CA. Ocala, FL.
