An excerpt from chapter one
Before we continue on into the following chapters, I would like to point out two more significant words that are the essence of the entire book, and they are “Christian” and “martyr.” These two words have been incorrectly and improperly used by a vast number of people when describing certain individuals or a specific act.
We will begin with the dictionary meaning of”martyr.”--- “A person who chooses to suffer or die rather than give up his faith or his principles, a person tortured or killed because of his beliefs.” Martyrdom is not to be equated or given the same meaning as “suicide,” which is the act of killing oneself intentionally. A martyr is a person who suffers at the hand of someone else, and suicide is self inflicted.
“Christian” is a word that, by many, is completely misunderstood. First, the dictionary meaning. “A person professing the belief in Jesus as the Christ, or in the religion based on the teachings of Jesus.” Let me say this, no place in the Bible can I fmd a prefix attached to the word “Christian.” Such as Protestant-Christian, Catholic-Christian, or any other denomination-Christian! The same holds true for any particular ethnic, or racial group of people. “Christian” is a name that stands alone and should not be joined to any specific man-created organization, culture or race. Christianity is all-inclusive! The only legitimate claim to this title is to be a true born-again follower of Jesus Christ as defined by Scripture. Anyone can belong to, or affiliate with an organization, but Christianity is a way of life! There is a huge difference between belonging to an organization and living a life-style designed by God.
Now we are ready to get into the substance of this book, and probably more controversy, so fasten your seat belt and let’s go for a ride!

About the Book
What exactly is a wimp? This term is used by people to demean and intimidate others who do not share their express opinion, or world view.
A wimp is considered weak and ineffectual, one who is not to be taken seriously, to be laughed at and scorned. In this book the author attempts to point out who the real wimps are.
People of faith, church goers, and Bible believers are often put into the “wimp” category. They are thought of as being losers, using religion as a crutch.
But does this have any truth to it? Not according to what is written in the pages of this book! You will find a clear and concise reason why this word is, in reality, misused.
Many people in high places and those of great fame are idolized and admired, but what is their “wimp” status? Are they truly living a life that is noble and exemplary? Or are they phonies, all talk and no substance?
What about common sense? Is that a dinosaur that has become extinct?
About the Author
How does one judge a person’s character? This author has a very keen, and also dry, sense of humor. However, he is absolutely serious about his belief in God, country and the self-worth of every individual. To demean another person by name calling and derogatory put-downs, because of their fundamental faith in God and the Bible, is thoughtless bigotry at it’s best, and extreme animosity at it’s worst.
This writer brings a very pointed argument as to why this happens and how to overcome such a hurtful attitude. This comes from a long life of personal observation of how people interact with others who are in disagreement.
