Where Have All the Heroes Gone?

A Pilgrimage Through the Bible, the Battlefield, and Back Home Again

By: Jeff Tiegs

Narrated by: Jeff Tiegs

As a special operations army commander, Jeff Tiegs anchored his life in the battlefield—and the Bible. He joined the 1st Ranger Battalion at age eighteen and retired as a Delta Force lieutenant colonel. Often separated from his wife and kids, Tiegs lost friends in combat but never stopped pursuing his enemies wherever they tried to hide.

What has kept him going, what guides him still, are stories — of David, the slingshot sniper who downed a giant, of a pregnant virgin bride, a rogue prophet, a betrayed liberator. To Tiegs, these ancient tales echo within every human story. He has followed them through holy lands and combat zones where he collected a few stories of his own.

In Where Have All the Heroes Gone?, Tiegs retells familiar Bible stories through the lens of a trained warrior. He weaves personal experiences and military exploits among the threads, inviting listeners to take their own pilgrimage through the front lines of faith.

Captivating Read

An excellent story of the author's personal war stories delicately interwoven with the Christian faith. Excellent balance between the two topics keeps the reader engaged. Highly recommend to fellow believers and veterans.

Amazing Correlations

Jeff Tiegs beautifully tied his experiences in the military to the teachings of Jesus Christ. I have not seen another book make the connections like Jeff did. I would recommend this book to anyone who has served, whether you believe in Jesus or not. Phenomenal!!

A beautiful authentic book from the depth of a true warrior's soul

Jeff bears his soul in a most genuinely beautiful way. A former CAG commander who writes in an extraordinary captivating and sincere way. He is truly a warrior in God's army. He is a man to be honored and held up as a model for all men. God bless you and your family Jeff. And thanks to my brother Jim for introducing me to this wonderful book. Both of you live the code - de oppresso liber.

Just blown away.

I couldn't stop listening. What a warrior and hero Jeff Tiegs is. Its humbling to know that we still have men like this in out society. Thank you for your service.

Truth, Honor, Bravery, Loyalty, Resilience

You know a good man when you hear a good man. You know a hero when you hear a hero. You may say "but none are good but God," and I will say "you know when a hero knows that too as he gives the glory to the Father and not himself." Gives me tears and inspiration. (Tuh-tellis-stye)

Could not put this down!

I listened to this all at once, I could not put it down. Hung on every word. Recommend to all, especially those who have seen combat, traumatic events, or those in jobs that put you harms way. Already bought copies for veteran friends & family.

Stories of Parallel

I learned so much from this book! Jeff’s war stories paralleled many Bible stories and, as a prior Ranger, I found it funny, enlightening, heartbreaking and eye opening in many ways. But what was most poignant were his connections and travels to the Bible and Holy Land— making intimate connections to the text, terrain and humanity of Christ Jesus- particularly YHWH! Must read!

Wow!

Amazing work and such a beautiful way of weaving lessons learned in with scripture. This is definitely now in my top five and will be one I buy and share with family and friends! Thanks Jeff, great work sir 🫡

A Must-Read

A must read for any God-fearing Soldier and anyone searching to understand our calling to serve in this manner.

I feel closer to Jesus

This book was absolutely incredible. I’m a veteran so I loved the short stories of war and I loved how Jeff tied everything back to faith! You will grow as a person from listening to this book!!
