Stay under Your Hat is not only a book title, but also a principle of living. Alan Walter, the author, first understood the principle while leading a dual diagnosis group for the Department of Community Supervision (state probation) in Northwest Georgia. As God further developed the principle in Alan’s mind and heart, it has grown into a book that will likely involve sequels. Stay under Your Hat is a call to those who believer in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This book seeks to call Christians to return to the one basic purpose for our lives. That purpose is to effectively model God through the surrender of our identity, security, and reason for living to God the Father. While reading this book you’ll have the opportunity to see some of the simplicities and the glory of how God created, outfitted, and redeemed us to model Him well. My hope is that you will realize that the most natural, safe, and secure place for you to be as a Christian is to stay under your hat!
