Chapman, of Kenwood, Ark., has enjoyed a lengthy career as a Licensed Therapist. During that time, he has provided therapy for many young people and families.

In 2005, he was named Horizon's National Clinician of the Year for his work as a social worker and therapist.

"In today's complicated world, young people are often overwhelmed by negative influences that steer them down the wrong path," states Chapman.

"Sometimes this results in long-term consequences. My book is based on Christian principles and is a quick and painless way for parents to equip their children to successfully navigate through the 'real world.' If you ever wonder if your child is making good choices when you're not around, this book is for you."

"Don't Forget Your Shield!" contains 20 short stories that begin with relevant Bible scripture, and includes questions to help young people analyze their own actions.

In addition, each story concludes with easy-to-understand tips to equip readers with the knowledge or "shield" necessary to protect them from daily challenges.

He said, "I encourage you to share my book with any child or young person that's important to you."
