""I am a huge fan of devotionals because they encourage us to communicate with God daily. When we do that, our faith is strengthened and we will walk closer with our Lord. I believe Chels Chae's devotional, One Life Under God will help you do just that. Just as a good football coach stresses the fundamentals to their players, Chels does the same thing with this book. Every day you will get a scripture to read and then be asked to apply that portion of God's word to your life. Each and every day it will emphasize the basics of the Christian life: trusting God, choosing obedience daily, and fixing our eyes on Jesus rather than the distractions around us. This is a book for anyone who wants to live with integrity, lead with humility, and finish well. No matter where you are in your Christian journey I believe this roadmarch with Jesus will encourage you to keep moving forward, one faithful step at a time."" -TONY DUNGY, Super Bowl-winning Head Coach, Author, and Speaker ""One Life Under God is written by someone who understands both the demands of military service and the deeper call of faith. Drawing from Scripture and a lifetime of leadership, this devotional reflects the discipline, perseverance, and humility required to walk faithfully with Christ through the most challenging miles of a long march. It is thoughtful, steady, and personal-much like the roadmarches Chels and I endured in uniform. I believe this book will encourage leaders and believers alike to keep moving forward with purpose and trust in God."" -GENERAL STEPHEN J. TOWNSEND, U.S. ARMY (RET.), Former Commanding General, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command ""In One Life Under God, Chels Chae brings together two realities that every soldier and every believer understands well: endurance and faithfulness. Drawing from Scripture, leadership experience, and a disciplined walk with God, this book reminds us that faith is not lived in moments of ease, but forged through daily obedience and trust in the Lord. I have seen Chels lead under pressure, think clearly in complexity, and remain grounded in values that matter. Those same qualities are evident throughout this devotional. It speaks to anyone who understands that the Christian life; like a roadmarch, requires commitment, perseverance, and reliance on God every step of the way. This book will encourage readers to stay faithful, lead with integrity, and keep moving forward with Christ, even when the path is demanding.During my 36 years in the Army I grew to realize the importance of my spiritual development. As I grew in my faith in Jesus, I grew as a leader. An important part of that spiritual development was a daily devotional. I wish I would have had a devotional like this one. I encourage you to read it and pray on the wisdom that he has imparted in it."" -BENJAMIN R. MIXON, Lieutenant General, U.S. Army (Retired), Former USARPAC Commander
