I'm so happy to see this partnership. I had the honor to meet Cliff and his family 2 years ago. Getting to meet him was something special to me. His Lion of War series is what really woke me up from my spiritual death. I believe God used Cliff and his books to reach me. They really helped me go from just showing up and checking a box on Sunday to really seeking God and wanting to raise my family to serve others and honor God. Thank you Cliff for not losing your vision and for Kavod Family Ministries for making this partnership happen. Looking forward to whats to come.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s incredibly humbling to hear how The Lion of War series helped wake you up spiritually and brought you closer to God-stories like yours are why we’re so passionate about this partnership with Cliff. We believe that God has used and will continue to use these books to stir hearts, ignite faith, and equip men to lead their families with strength and purpose, just as He did for you. Cliff’s vision and dedication to telling these raw, faith-driven stories has always been about more than just storytelling; it’s about inspiring men like you to live out God’s calling. We’re honored to stand alongside him in this mission and can’t wait to see how God will continue to move through the work that’s yet to come. Please feel free to reach out anytime-we’d love to stay connected!
I like to read the Iliad every year and I always think that Nestor is similar to Joshua and Caleb. They're all older men who are dangerous. I can see Joshua and Caleb conversing around a camp fire retelling their exploits just as Nestor retells his exploits to the Achaeans. The violence in the Bible is similar, albeit less graphic, then Homer but war is war and the violence of war is the same across cultures. Just as Meges pierced the back of Pedaeus's head and his teeth clench on cold bronze is the same as Abner using the butt spike of a spear to impale Joab's brother, Asahel. How do most Christians think Elijah killed the prophets of Baal and Astheroth at Mt. Carmel? He probably slit throats. How do Christians think of David as a tame man when he is ascribed as a commander who killed tens of thousands? Even God describes David as a man of blood when David wants to build a permanent temple. How pg can Christians make David taking the foreskins of Philistines? Christians know where the foreskin is right? It amazes me that Christians would denounce violence, when it concerns bringing the Bible to creative historical-fiction stories, when we believe that Jesus died the most violent gory death on a Cross. If a movie is made depicting Eleazar defending himself in that Barley field that is somewhere between "300" and the passion of the Christ in violence and gore, then that would be a great and amazing action sequence. it would rival Achilles, Brad Pitt, fighting Hector in Troy. Make and write your books as raw and real as you want. I will read every letter and word from cover to cover. I love how these books connect, in me, my faith and love for ancient world history. 2nd Edit, I have a copy of Song of War!
Thanks for connecting with us! We love the depth you’re drawing between Homer’s Iliad and the biblical warriors like Joshua and Caleb. There’s something so raw and powerful in the ancient accounts of men of faith, especially when you consider their battles and how they had to rely on God in the midst of chaos and violence. As fans of Cliff’s work, we couldn’t agree more with the need for real, gritty storytelling that reflects the realities of the Bible. War is brutal, and the Bible doesn’t shy away from it, but it also highlights the strength and faith that these men had as they fought, not just physical enemies, but spiritual battles as well. We’re thrilled that Cliff is writing again and bringing these stories to life in a way that connects with our love for ancient history and faith. Keep an eye out for more from him-we’re just as excited as you are for what’s coming next! You are a lucky man to have one of those copies of Song of War. Travis from the podcast has a copy as well from way back when. But those are the only copies I've heard of. Hope to continue to hear from you. Reach out anytime!
