Rob Robideau, the man behind the Personal Armament Podcast just released his latest book, Tactical Bible Stories: Personal Security Tips from the Bible.

From Rob’s press release:

The Bible has fantastic examples of tactics, concepts, and ideas that are still used and taught by modern security professionals. This stereotype-busting book takes the most important aspects of personal security and uses Bible stories as illustrations to make them fun and easy for anyone to understand, remember, and apply.

• Was David’s sling a wise choice for his fight with Goliath? Why?
• How did Jesus show us the importance of keeping our distance?
• Did Gideon’s minuscule army make sense tactically? Why?

Tactical Bible Stories is written very simply for those who aren’t self-defense experts or tactical aficionados and the author hopes that the different perspective will help the information to reach a new group of people and help them to become safer.

Rob was kind enough to get me a copy of the book, but alas I have not yet had time to read it. I am looking forward to it because it appears to be an interesting take on both personal defense and The Bible. If nothing else, it shows that just because you’re a religious person doesn’t mean you have to stand by and be a victim. There’s much to learn.
