A Must Have from Robert Douglas, Jr.
"Hope for a Hero's Heart"

HOPE... Beyond The Badge!
Robert E. Douglas, Jr. has written this book to provide daily spiritual "hope" to police officers and their families. Police officers experience more "hopelessness" in one tour of duty than most people experience in a lifetime. People wonder how they can handle and experience such hurt and pain and not be affected by it. They can't. Over the years they deal more with the negative in life than the positive, and eventually if not addressed it will des troy the officer and his family. It takes day by day experiences that officers face and relates them to scripture. It has been said that a person stands tallest when on their knees before God each day. Start your day with God as your partner and find HOPE... Beyond The Badge!



Death with No Valor
Robert E. Douglas, Jr's powerful awakening book to bring about an awareness of the epidemic within our police family called Police Suicide, and to show that there is a light in the darkness. It was written to enable police officers, police chaplains, and police families to recognize and deal with the issues of suicide; in the hopes that within these pages the reader may find the words to reach into just one person's darkness and give t hem a ray of light.
