The Guide: Survival, Warfighting, Peacemaking
Life with a drug-addicted father meant sleeping with one eye open, nervously anticipating but not knowing what chaotic event would happen next. Whether it was having a shotgun placed against his head or snorting cocaine at 13 with his dad, the unpredictable and unwanted were Greg Munck’s normal. But just when the anxiety and anger inside of him were starting to vent and rumble, the United States Marines and a long boat ride to Kuwait to fight in the Gulf War intervened to change the trajectory—and eternity—of a twenty-year-old warfighter gifted by God to lead men.
Simple, emotional, and visceral, this story is about earth’s brokenness, God’s presence, and the true significance that resonates deep in the soul of everyone. To be great and to do great things are embedded in the heart of everyone, but the process of becoming that person demands courage, perseverance, and faith. Fighting the good fight isn’t easy, but under the right leadership, we see that overwhelming odds can be overcome and that our truest purpose can be discovered. In The Guide: Survival, Warfighting, Peacemaking , Greg Munck invites you into his life so that you can discover the bravery to face and win your biggest emotional and spiritual battles.

Inspirational and challenging. We find both in this biography as we see the truth of "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me" lived out. Sure hope a movie is made. I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and the publisher and voluntarily provided an honest review.

April 14, 2024Whew. This is a raw and vulnerable autobiography of a man who has lived to the hilt every opportunity that has crossed his path. He has a “no holds barred” approach to living life and telling his story. I don’t want to give spoilers, but if you are looking to be inspired, challenged, and entertained, I think you will find those in this book.
