Book Synopsis
Police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and military members all see the innermost of our dark and fallen world. Jonathan Hickory gives us a veteran police officer's intimate perspective into the struggle that many of our heroes battle in their hearts.
Drowning in the depths of depression and sadness, burning with anger, and chained down by alcoholism, Jonathan couldn't do any more. After the death of his father as a young boy, facing countless horrific death scenes in the line of duty, and the loss of his first son, Jonathan turned to the world for answers--finding only darkness. Facing the threat of losing his job as a police officer, the loss of his wife and daughter, and contemplating suicide, Jonathan turns to the only one who can truly save--Jesus.

Review Quotes
"Jonathan has written about his journey and how God led him from defeat to victory through the power of the Gospel. This is a gripping real-life story that will give us all the encouragement we need to face whatever might lie ahead in our journey, and to do so with hope."
JONATHAN FALWELL, Senior Pastor, Thomas Road Baptist Church, Lynchburg, Virginia
"A riveting account of pain and redemption. A painful and empowering narrative of a hero's journey into darkness, and the power of God to lead him home. Telling us again, in a modern context, that critical, life-affirming lesson: "It is no secret, what God can do. What He's done for others, He can do for you."
LT. COL. DAVE GROSSMAN, author of On Combat, On Killing and Bulletproof Marriage
"Jonathan's story will give courage to anyone who fears that their past defines them forever. And for all the heartbroken people who love those wandering souls, it will bring hope that no one is too far gone - not when our Good Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ, is out to find His lost sheep. Break Every Chain was a pleasure to read!"
-JANICE CAPPUCCI, author of Storm Clouds of Blessings: True Stories of Ordinary People Finding Hope and Strength in Times of Trouble
"Jonathan's book is both a warning and - praise God - a testimony of hope that should be a "must read" for every officer, police spouse and, frankly, every man. Highly recommended!"
-MICHAEL "MC" WILLIAMS, Police Officer and Chaplain, Founder and Director, The Centurion Law Enforcement Ministry
"Jonathan Hickory takes the reader down a dark, twisted, and at times, death defying journey which miraculously leads to redemption. Break Every Chain epitomizes the personal struggles of many law enforcement officers, the real battle between good and evil, and how the power of God can set the captives free. A MUST READ!"
