Beyond the Badge: A Spiritual Survival Guide for Cops and their Families

Good News is pleased to announce the publication of Beyond the Badge: a Spiritual Survival Guide for Cops and Their Families. by Charles Ferrara.

“After having read Chuck Ferrara’s book, I will never again think of police officers without a deep, new appreciation for what they do for the protection and well-being of us all.

As I read this book, I felt at times that I was there with Chuck racing down a dark New York City alley or up the stairs of a stench-filled tenement apartment in pursuit of a dangerous, armed suspect. I realize now, for the first time ever, the danger and vulnerability cops live with routinely in the line of duty.

The demands made upon an officer of the law are enormous. As a former cop and police chaplain, Chuck Ferrara understands that. He knows that to be successful, officers need something beyond the badge.”
—James V. Heidinger II,
President and Publisher, Good News

“Dr. Ferrara has a keen insight into the lives of police officers through his years of being ‘on the job.’ This is evident in his work with Law Enforcement as a pastor and police chaplain—this insight helped me when I needed it the most.”
—Chief Garry Wilson, Under-sheriff,
St. Lucie County (FL) Sheriffs Office

“Chuck has clearly captured the essence of what a cop experiences physically, emotionally, and spiritually. His account of real life events puts into words what many of us lived through, but cannot express. This book is without a doubt the real thing.”
—Tony Valicenti, Detective, NYPD (Retired)

“It has been said that police officers are doing God’s work. If that is the case, the Rev. Dr. Ferrara is one of God’s lieutenants. This is an excellent book and should be required Police Academy reading.”
—Captain Robert Cedergren,
Bethel (CT) Police Department
