I first came for the gun videos and especially gun training videos. Living in an Eastern European country access to good instructors was very hard. Not many of those who are good shooters, can also be good teachers, I learned quite a lot from these training videos, but then I also watched the other ones, about the approach to life, being also better Poet as well as being a better Warrior. And I loved them even more, as these were seeds that came in fertile soil. I was trying myself to be a better provider and protector a better lover and leader and a father, but never thought of that as a whole and complete life philosophy, just as some ideas I've collected and compiled from here and there. Then came your (first) book, and combined all of that into one.
Here's the moment to tell, that I really appreciate that you talk about your faith in Jesus, but always (until recently in JLS) gave grace to those who don't believe or are not sure, or do believe but in something different. Because at that time I still wasn't ready, If at that time you had expressed the dogmatic, straight Christian way to handle relationship, I probably would have turned away. There were too many other apocalyptic preachers of the type "Repent, do it as the Bible says or else!", ready to condemn you but not to build a bridge. Your approach, on the other hand was for everybody, Christian or not. And it was thawing me towards Christianity.
Later still I was finally ready to put my faith in Christ, and you and your videos were a big part of my journey. And I thank you for that.
So to summarize - Trough the Warrior Poet Society and you, John I became a better shooter, a better protector and provider for my family, a better husband, lover and father. But most importantly trough you, as well as some others, God worked in me, and now I can happily say I am a new and reborn man, I am a Christian. So Thank you!
