“Giammona and Anderson take readers on a deep, riveting journey into preparing for the perilous world of the end times with The Military Guide to Armageddon . This read is a grand slam!”
Dr. Robert Jeffress, senior pastor, First Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas; contributor, Fox News; adjunct professor, Dallas Theological Seminary; host, Pathway to Victory
“My emphasis has been and will always be the glory of God. His glory will be to strengthen us to survive the end times. But it is also necessary for us to prepare our life and soul for the end times. What a great spiritual balance to walk in the glory and to have the manual to prepare for the last scene of the last act of the last book of the Bible, Revelation!”
Sid Roth, host, It’ s Supernatural!
“This book is not only the wake-up call needed for all believers, it is also a powerful spiritual preparation manual that unlocks for all of us how we should live in the last days. It is time for the church to wake up, put on the full armor of God and prepare for what’s ahead.”
Rabbi Jonathan Bernis, Jewish Voice Ministries International; host, Jewish Voice with Jonathan Bernis
“Giammona and Anderson have written a must-read for anyone who aspires to be a warrior for God in the end times. Read this book—and learn from the best.”
Dr. Thomas Horn, CEO, SkyWatch TV
“While so much of the Christian world today is content to hide its head in the sand and ignore the many clear warnings and exhortations of the Bible concerning the last days, The Military Guide to Armageddon is chock full of wisdom that will help the believer navigate the great challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
Joel Richardson, New York Times bestselling author, teacher, filmmaker
“Col. David Giammona and Troy Anderson have written a must-read primer for anyone considering how to strengthen their walk with God in the end times.”
U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Robert F. Dees (Ret.), decorated U.S. army general; associate vice president, Military Outreach, and director, Institute for Military Resilience, at Liberty University; campaign chairman for Dr. Ben Carson; author, Resilience God Style
“ The Military Guide to Armageddon is one of the most important books I have read in a long time! This spiritually powerful and biblically balanced book is essential reading for any leader, man or woman who seeks to obey God’s call to be an effective spiritual warrior in these last days. This practical book will teach you how to be battle ready, effective and victorious as a spiritual warrior.”
Dr. Paul McGuire, bestselling author
“This is a very timely book, because the signs that Jesus instructed us to watch for just prior to His return are coming to pass right in front of our eyes. I strongly encourage everyone to buy this book and to share it with others. This guide will give you a better understanding of how the military chess pieces are moving into place, and it won’t be too long before a major conflict erupts. This is a time of wars and rumors of wars, and the authors have worked hard to give us some insight into what is really going on out there.”
Michael Snyder, The Most Important News
“Being a special operator in the Special Warfare Command of the U.S. Navy (ret.), I have a vested interest in war and its complexity. Chaplain Colonel Giammona has mastered the contrast of spiritual and physical war and their similarities with stellar clarity. The best book on end-time preparation I’ve ever read. Stunning.”
M. David Roever, D.D., founder, president, CEO, Operation Warrior RECONnect

Foreword
IT HAS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE to live in “Military City, USA” all my life. As a native of San Antonio, Texas, I have been surrounded by some of the greatest citizens, servants and soldiers the world has ever seen. Their willingness to protect and defend our nation has always been an inspiration to me. Their sacrifice and commitment serve as a constant reminder that I have been called to do the same by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am to be a citizen of His Kingdom here on this earth. I am to serve Him with all my heart, soul, mind, strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. I am to be a soldier in His army and take a stand in the evil day. We live in an evil day that seeks to destroy all that is good, and the need for change can no longer be ignored.
Bible-believing Christians cannot afford to be spectators in this culture war that is changing every aspect of our lives. We are watching our freedoms and liberties be trampled beneath a relentless agenda to destroy the foundations of truth, rid society of the institutions of faith and crush the influence of the Church. Some have described it as the “post-Christian era,” others choose to use more moderate terms, but the fact remains, we are in a supernatural war in this modern world. The Apostle Paul made it clear that we were going to be engaged in a spiritual battle that would only increase in intensity until Jesus Christ returns to earth to establish His Kingdom. The day of decision for this generation has arrived, and the ancient question echoes still, “Who is on the Lord’s side?”
This resource is filled not with theories, suggested strategies and general ideas for you to consider but with real battlefield-tested facts, tactics and information that will convert an apathetic churchgoer into a soldier of salt and light. The authors combine decades of battlefield experience and award-winning investigative journalism to demonstrate what God will do with those who are willing to take a stand, face adversity and make history. The world around you is decaying in darkness; now is the time to answer the question, “What are you going to do about it?”
What are you going to do about the chaos in our streets? This book has the answer. How are you going to lead your family, loved ones and friends with confidence in uncertain times? This book will show you the way. How does this epic conflict end, who will win, and what will happen in the world tomorrow? If you’d like to know, then turn the page.
This book points to truths that can change your life forever. The days in which we live require each of us to choose between light and darkness, good and evil, truth and de
