The FBI, a Vocation to Serve
ISBN: 9781681390062 / Angielski / Miękka / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I thought about titling my book and decided on the title, "The FBI, A Vocation to Serve".

It may be difficult to believe or may seem inconsistent but some agents were actually priests and many were in the seminary to become priests. I guess the reason that is, is because most criminals are violent people and priests vocation is to tend to their souls while as an FBI agents vocation is to get them off the street to protect those that cant defend themselves. The entire mission of the FBI is to protect...
