Out of the Darkness and into the Blue recounts the most significant encounters in Christensen's career, but is more than the exciting memoirs of a veteran police officer. Christensen follows each chapter with a thorough analysis, discussing tactics and training concepts relevant to his experiences.

The book for the People who want to be a cop

Todd Christensen was someone I met when I started my first venture to being a law enforcement officer. I met him first in my class posted in Kalamazoo. He is someone with whom I hold respect for, as he is the definition of a true leader.
This book acts not only as a memoir but as a book of what the life holds of being a law enforcement officer. It is something that I recommend to all my law enforcement friends and colleagues. If you don't know that you want to take on the life, read this book and consider it closely. If you do decide to do so, this book will help you to get ready for the academy and first few years as a new officer.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

David's story was simply astonishing. I could relate a lot to my own life and my current situation. I joined the Army, dropped 50lbs to get there, pushed myself a lot through basic and accomplished a lot. But I've hit my slump, gained weight and regressed on endurance and strength. I'm now in the process of restarting my whole life. Thanks for the simple tools that help to steer myself right.
