Product Description
In 1978, Jerry Boykin joined what would become the world's premier Special Operations unit, Delta Force. The only promise: "A medal and a body bag." What followed was a .50 caliber round in the chest and a life spent with America's elite forces bringing down warlords and war criminals, despots, and dictators. In Colombia, his task force hunted the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. In Panama, he helped capture the brutal dictator Manuel Noriega, liberating a nation. From Vietnam to Iran to Mogadishu, Lt. General Jerry Boykin's life reads like an action-adventure novel. Boykin's powerful story will keep you riveted as he reveals how his military duty worked in tandem with his faith to bring him through the bloody storms of foreign battle-and through the political firestorm that ambushed him in his own country.

A man yielded to God's purposes October 12, 2008
This is an excellent book. I work with wounded warriors and know that Jerry Boykin's book will be an encouragement to many of them to fight the good fight, and 'never surrender'. Thanks be to God who gave General Boykin the victories in defending Freedom for our land, and more importantly, freedom for the souls of our brave men and women who daily stand in defense of this great land.
 Review September 29, 2008
Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom is a wonderful emotional story about one man...Lieutenant General William G. Boykin. Boykin shares every step of his journey with readers from the first moment that he decided to go into the military to the end with he retires from it. I do want to state that Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom has nothing to do with attacking republicans or democratics but instead shows readers things that the media doesn't tell you about including the strong bond that is formed between friends and turns out becoming the strongest band of brothers you will ever meet.
The one thing I really found amazing about Lieutenant General William G. Boykin was his unwavering dedication to his faith in God. I thought this fact really made Boykin a man of honor, respect, and of great character. There are not many non fiction volumes that were so powerful in addition to leaving such a lasting memory as Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom. After reading this book you can't help but feel proud to be an American. It's people like Lieutenant General William G. Boykin who we have to give our thanks to for giving us our freedom to live out lives the way we want to and I have one comment to make and that is...We will Never Surrender!

General Boykin's life story is a truly amazing journey of faith and guts. He, like so many of our senior officers, stood tall against politicians and bureaucrats to defend our country and our freedom. As in other cases, it was his determined spirit shaped by extreme physical and mental military training combined with a deep faith developed over the years of service that prevailed in the end. I highly recommend this book for every young person who might think that freedom is "free".

This was one of the best books I have ever read. Well written and informative but very definetly showing the human side, emotions and frustrations. It is a "can't put down." Theres no ego trip here, It is a very good first person history lesson with all the human frailty involved in something new and different, He didn't leave out any of the bumps and warts.
