LONGWOOD, FL-Hold on as Lt. Col. Mike Zigan's Ignition (paperback, 978-1-60266-885-0; hardcover, 978-1-60266-886-7) takes you on the journey of your lifetime! Images of war-torn Baghdad will be forever etched in your memory and used as a catalyst for improving your daily Christian walk. This book also provides important food for thought that you can't devour through the nightly news. Its timely and potent images will fuel your inner fire and remind you of your special status as an American citizen. Written by a military family man sharing his personal reflections on war, duty, patriotism, society, and the meaning of life, these thoughts-penned in downtown Baghdad as rockets, mortar, and IEDs exploded in a daily chaotic din-will rekindle your love of country, faith in mankind, and commitment to pursue God's plan for your life.
Says Zigan, "I think my background, experiences, and personal reflections combine to provide motivation for my fellow Christians in America. I simply am not a writer by trade. As an F-16 fighter pilot for the last 16 years, flying in training and combat around the world, and finally serving on the ground in Baghdad, I was convicted to set pen to paper and write reflections of what I felt was truly important on a wide variety of subjects."
Those subjects include his musings as a fighter pilot and later an infantryman in Baghdad. Both of these experiences-attempting to restore hope and normalcy to a Muslim culture in the Middle EastÑmade him aware of what is truly important, precious, and worth his committed energy. Most importantly, he became actively engaged in actions that support his beliefs.
