Shield Talk Real Talk: 52 Weekly Devotions

By Joseph J. Briggs

Shield Talk Real Talk is a compilation of weekly devotional messages to offer Kappa Men hope and encouragement throughout the year in light of life's real ups and downs, its real joys and pain, and the real maneuvering we all have to do through life's manure. Unlike many devotionals that begin with a scriptural text followed by some explanatory commentary——Shield Talk Real Talk begins each devotional message with the realness of emotions, situations and/or circumstances men find themselves confronted with followed by supporting scripture, exhibiting that notwithstanding the disparate aspects of life we will experience, there is a living word that can speak to and uplift us.
