Book and Media Reviews

Books that are recommended are generally of direct benefit to the Christian military officer and fighter pilot.

Books that are recommended with a caveat are interesting and potentially useful, but may not be specifically about or to Christian military officers or fighter pilots.

Books that are not recommended are not necessarily bad books, but they may have held little real benefit to a Christian military officer or fighter pilot interested in military Christian living.
