The Finest Thought Leaders
Blake Watkins
is a licensed Professional Engineer and licensed minister. After earning his Master of Science degree in Engineering, he worked as an electrical engineer and as a supervisor of engineering, information technology, and process control teams for a global Fortune 100 chemical company. He and his wife Jennie also owned and operated a Christian bookstore called The Lamb's Way. He served as an ordained deacon, a Gideon speaker, and a pulpit-supply preacher. In his spare time, he traveled and taught biblical worldviews and creation science, using a scale model he built of Noah's ark. After twenty-one years in engineering, he answered God's call to full-time ministry, took early retirement, and concentrated on his speaking and teaching ministry. During that time, he created and taught a comprehensive life-application curriculum based on the armor of God in Ephesians 6, for a very effective addiction ministry. After seven years of ministry, he returned to full-time engineering and relocated to Texarkana, Texas, where he taught adult Bible studies two to three times each week. He now lives in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, working as Principal Electrical Engineer for a major natural gas company. He teaches Sunday School and a live, weekly, online Bible study. Together Blake and Jennie have taught children's Sunday School, led successful young adult and adult Sunday School, and also evening Bible studies. They were the founding leaders of a 4-H club in their hometown of Batesville, Arkansas. Married since 1978, they are blessed to be parents and grandparents.

What are people saying about Blake?
This book was given to me by Blake Watkins, at a very critical point of my career and life. During that challenging season, I could not see past the darkness that was surrounding me because I did not understand the authority God provides us in life. There are not enough words of gratitude for the wisdom found in this book. Goliath Code talks about the power of God and how He works through an individual who is full of faith. David understood the terrain of the battlefield he was approaching. He knew with God he would have ultimate victory despite the threats of Goliath. Often in todayās society, we are not taught how to understand Godās authority, and use Godās authority to establish His kingdom. The Goliath Code provides powerful and important lessons that we can use in everyday life. I am profoundly grateful for this book and the friendship and mentoring that Iāve received through Blake Watkins.

Well, I have found a book that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading several timesā¦ I have struggled for decades to find a single source, other than the Bible, to recommend to all new believers as they start their Christian walk - and now I have found it. The Goliath Code is a fresh look at how a believer can see themself win in this battle of life by using the simple Biblical Principles covered in the book. It is organized in such a way that you can just read right through it if you want and devour the wealth of Biblical insights and references mixed with the authorās personal applications. However, the book is much deeper on a closer look because the code the author explains is so practical that every believer needs to study and learn this code in their daily life.

When my good friend, Blake Watkins, gifted to me his book, āThe GOLIATH CODE,ā I remember being excited to read it simply because I knew the author personally. However, it didnāt take long for me to appreciate what the book truly is: a well-researched, thoughtful, and inspirational perspective on the spiritual victory freely offered to us through faith in Jesus Christ. Blake does an excellent job of weaving the historical truth of one of the most well-known stories in human history ā David vs Goliath ā with the biblical truth of the victory claimed for Christians by Jesus.

āThe GOLIATH CODE is an exceptional resource for anyone seeking insight and inspiration on the subject of principled leadership in a culture that is defined by an appalling lack of it.ā Manley Beasley Jr., Senior Pastor, Hot Springs Baptist Church and current President of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention.
