"Soon after I began studying chess and playing on a more serious level, I found myself applying 'chess principles' to other areas of my life. It seemed a logical evolution that the tools such as tactics, planning and strategy I was learning on the chess board could be leveraged elsewhere. Dr. Styers has taken yet another logical step. He has drawn from the elements of chess to illuminate the many facets of Christ in the life of the believer. A logical and thought-provoking read." -- Thomas McCaslin
