What makes this devotional unique?
Read the four main features that sets it apart...
01
A Martial Artist Lens
Iron Sharpens Iron is written from the lens of a martial arts business owner and actual martial artists. The philosophy and lessons from martial arts go hand-in-hand with powerful words from the book of Proverbs and help with your daily walk as a martial artist. These daily devotionals will build your character on and off the mat, improve your ethical prowess at home and at work, and — most importantly of all — strengthen your relationship with Christ.
03
Deeper Biblical Understanding
I love to read devotionals because it fascinates me how two people can read the same passage of scripture and find different truth in it. To me, that shows how relevant the Bible is and how, if I'll let it, it will speak directly to me. Devotionals also help me better understand the Bible. Let's face it -- the Bible can be hard to understand at times, so it is fun to seek out gifted, Christian authors who can help us develop a deeper, clearer understanding through their writing. That's the intent of this devotional - to deepen your understanding of God's Word by using skills and knowledge from your martial arts training.
02
Daily Inspiration
Iron Sharpens Iron has been crafted over many years. It is a continuation of a life journey that began in 1994 when our school, Ultimate Martial Arts, was born in our basement. Each time you pick up this book, there is an inspirational point of view that was created for you! The book's perspective came from my daily walk in business, marriage, and reading the book of Proverbs.
04
Personal Examples
The book contains personal stories of owning a martial arts school, lessons learned through mistakes and failures, and the provisions of God to allow us to be in business since 1994. It's a real-life account of how biblical principles and a Christian worldview have impacted our martial arts school and how these principles can change your life and grow your relationship with Christ.
