“What do you believe about God? Your answer will lead to a
worldview that shapes your thinking about humanity, the world, and what exists
beyond.”
Jason B. Ladd is a Marine Fighter Pilot, married with children.
In “One of the Few,” he shares his own journey to the Christian faith,
comparing spiritual discipline to that required for military service. He also
contrasts the secular and Christian worldview, explaining why the Christian is
superior to the secular.
Ladd offers a reasoned look at faith. He has a logical mind
and needed an understanding of faith that would make sense to his intellect. He
shares, “I once thought you had to check your brain at the door to believe in
Christianity. On the contrary, Christians seeking to understand their faith are
using its full potential.”
“One of the Few” will appeal to men and anyone interested in
the military. It is written from a broad Christian perspective. The only
statement Catholic will disagree with is that communion is described as a
symbol. Other than that, the author demonstrates a great respect for the
Catholic faith and, in fact, even quotes from the Catechism of the Catholic
Church.
Many people, especially young people, are lost today,
searching for meaning in a secular world. “One of the Few” is an interesting
spiritual memoir and a practical guide to the Christian life which has the
potential to answer their questions and lead them to a life rooted in Jesus
Christ.
