Forging the Ten Men - Book One

A man of valor is created in the fiery forges of adversity. War, poverty, injustice, and tests of moral courage heat him like a bar of iron, then pound him out on life's anvil. As with iron, the hammer's blows reveal weakness or strength; the iron either breaks apart and is worthless, or shapes into something stronger for the fire. Why would ten men from different walks of life join together to fight against the lawless in a desert wilderness? Because they are men who have passed through the fire and emerged from the anvil with iron in their backbones. They are men who have a stalwart code forged from their experiences and will not abide injustice. Here are the stories of Troy and Jason Delaney, Griffin Allen, Brody Maguire, and Teague Blackburn. Stories about the war that forged the Delaney brothers and Griffin, the poverty that strengthened Brody, and the integrity and moral courage of Teague. These events shaped and changed their hearts, minds, and souls, and brought them to understand what it is to be a man of courage and valor.
