Some Comments on the Peacekeepers 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.

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
