About this ebook
Stronger Christian Soldiers is a compilation of the Bible studies our Heavenly Father gave Micah McGuire to write during his time inside, locked up as a political prisoner of the US federal government. Although Micah is innocent, the time he's spent locked up gives him plenty of freedom alone with his Heavenly Father. The Bible studies, intended to be used on a weekly basis with a study group, are the result of that alone time with our Creator.
It is Micah’s hope that everyone who goes through these study lessons will accept the salvation freely offered through the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.
If you are already saved, perhaps these lessons will help you develop a deeper, more fervently strong relationship with He who set you free from the snares of sin & death.
Micah McGuire
Micah L. McGuireUnited States war veteran and recipient of many awards and service ribbons, Micah McGuire fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom as a soldier in the United States Army. He served at a pivotal point in history - the first Iraqi elections. For three days Micah and his platoon secured a half-destroyed elementary school in a rural town in Iraq and defended it from attack. His unit conducted various missions across northern Iraq, trained the Iraqi National Guard and local police. Micah returned home after a one-year tour and found himself a single father of his two very small children.For the next ten years, Micah attended various learning institutions in order to get training in areas he knew would be helpful in providing for his family, including the Art Institute of Seattle for graphic design, the Art Institute of Phoenix for video production, the Discovery Detective Academy, and completed courses at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Phoenix, making him a certified Harley-Davidson motorcycle mechanic.In 2010 Arizona State Governor Jan Brewer signed into legislation the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (introduced as Arizona Senate Bill 1070), requesting civilians to begin training to aid in times of crisis. Micah volunteered with an organization known as the Arizona State Militia in order to comply with this request and to assist in protecting the state where he was raising his family. This organization reported its methods of training, background verification procedures, and membership numbers to the liaison of the Arizona State Senators during meetings held at the state capitol. Micah personally assisted by training civilians in procedures such as First Aid, traffic control, land navigation, and more. These trained volunteers assisted in US Veterans’ events, parades, and other events, as well as building houses for Habitat For Humanity, and much more.In April of 2014, after hearing unconfirmed rumors of civilians being harmed at a protest, Micah traveled to Nevada with water, food, and medical supplies. He had no prior knowledge of any of the legal situations involved with the Bundy family in Bunkerville and merely went to observe the protest. Once at the protest site, Micah watched a crowd standing in a wash, under a bridge, as they stared down the barrels of some thirty-plus armed gunmen, who were working for the Bureau of land Management and were telling the crowd by way of a megaphone that they had orders from the BLM to kill them. As Micah watched from a hilltop in horror he thought the only way he could possibly help would be to use his own body as a shield for the women and children below if the bullets started flying. Thankfully the BLM agents stood down and no one was hurt. He went home and posted a picture to Facebook, stating that he was “proud” that no one was killed that day, but feared it may happen again.Micah McGuire has absolutely no criminal history and has been volunteering as a street minister for the two years after the Bundy Ranch protest. Micah is now being held in the Corrections Corporation of America’s Pahrump, Nevada prison after being tackled and arrested by the FBI on his way to work on March 3rd, 2016. He has been held without bail ever since, even though there exist no legitimate reasons or crimes he has committed to keep him so confined.To learn more about this story, please visit www.savemcguire.com.

DEDICATION
I first want to thank my wife, Alysia, whom I love with all of my heart, for sticking with me during the most difficult time in our lives. Without her love and commitment to raising our children while I’m away I could never have had the peace of mind necessary to endure imprisonment.
To my Pops I want to thank for loving and supporting me throughout this enforced time away from my family and helping me to get these studies in book form.
I want to dedicate this book to my Brothers in Arms in the spiritual battle, those who ride with Blood Bought MC and serve our Savior well. They are truly Knights of Blood and Light.

Foreward
As a father I’ve learned it’s important to be proud of my children, whether they turn out to be what I hoped they would or followed a path of their own choosing. I’ve learned that children learn best and make better choices when parents encourage without attempting to force their own views or make their children see and do what the parent thinks is best. This may not always work in life, since there can be many variables that enter into the upbringing of any given child, but as a rule it seems to be a pretty good one to me.
It is with this in
