"Christian readers who thrill at the desert conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch will be inspired by this story of the desert conversion of Adam Palmer. He and his associates, Shizzle, Hud, K-Dawg, and Big Baby engage in a modern tale of discovery regarding the truth about mortality in this life and the one that follows. ALL IN is gritty. But, it is gritty in its heartfelt transparency of a wounded soul admitting his human failures and insecurities while affirming the grace and mercy which is offered by a compassionate God. This intense account is not a sterile treatise on post-traumatic stress or moral injury, both of which are described in heart-breaking tones. It is instead a gut-wrenching expose' of one man's soul, spirit, and sin. But, it is also a story of hope and triumph found in redemption. ALL IN is ultimately an incredible confession of healing found in the second chance of life offered by Jesus Christ. A must read for saints, seekers, and skeptics alike." - CAPTAIN James R. Fisher, CHC, USN (Ret.)
"Much is said about heroes in our times. No one will doubt that Adam Palmer is among the greats. He served three terms in Iraq. He looked death in the face, then looked to God who could save him. His body bears the scars of heroism. After his release he did a tour of another kind for his country, traveling the nation to help and serve people in the inner cities. He has settled into our area with his family. His heroism continues as he works with broken young people coming out of the Juvenile Justice System. He is on mission to bring help and hope to the brokenness of those around him. Read this story. Arise to serve. Compelling!" - Dr. Bob Griffin, Renewal Ministries
