Synopsis:
Best-selling author, pastor, futurist, and cultural thought leader believes that to experience and establish peace, we must first confront the battles that rage within. 
McManus shows that encountering peace does not occur by accident, but rather by artful intention. Warrior is a call to decisiveness, self-examination, and the pursuit of spiritual wholeness. Through the ancient biblical practices of humility, focus, ownership, clarity, strength, and vulnerability, he guides readers to a deeper understanding of their inner workings and provides the guidance they need to establish peace and tranquility in their homes, neighborhoods, communities, and even the world! In the style of a battle-wizened teacher, McManus delivers wisdom, instills passion, and provides the sacred movements needed to become the warrior you were meant to be. 
My Rating
The Way of the Warrior is such a great read. I enjoyed the an in-depth look at inner peace and the comparison of being a warrior. This book was broken into 8 chapters that focus on something different that is crucial to the warrior. I enjoyed majority of the chapters, highlighted, underlined and read my Bible while reading this book. There were a ton of scriptures and references to people in the Bible with the same issues, fears and doubts I have.

The whole idea of having inner peace to bring peace into the world was amazing. I loved every question asked as they helped me to question myself. I enjoyed the definitions in English, Hebrew and Greek when it came across. I loved the comparison to scripture as it allowed me to truly understand the scripture.

The understanding of the way of the warrior is that you were created by God for God to love, be the light in the darkness, have hope and help heal others. However, in order to do so you must first understand your strengths and weaknesses and be connected with the Father. Also that peace only comes by way of reconciliation which comes only through the Son, Jesus Christ.

Do I recommend it? Yes, it's a pretty interesting read with some amazing insight. You may just enjoy it as much as I did.

Blessings,
