About the Author
Jack Rigert is a co-founder of the John Paul II Renewal Center, the host of the “Claymore Become Who You Are” podcast, a writer and speaker. Jack was a professional chef and entrepreneur who owned restaurants, real estate, and a financial service company. Dramatic “encounters” with Jesus Christ at his dying brother’s bedside and again in the Eucharist at his brother’s funeral, brought him back into the Church after a twenty-year absence. While attending graduate school in Theology, Jack came across the teaching of Pope John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body.” He immediately understood that this was the treasure he had been seeking all his life, sold everything, and now travels the country presenting Parish Missions, Retreats, and Classes.
About the Book
THE CLAYMORE BATTLE PLAN
Inspired by the Life and Teaching of Saint John Paul II
“Pay attention! Your life is not an endless series of open doors.
Listen to your heart! Do not stay on the surface, but go to the heart of things!
And when the time is right, have the courage to decide.”
We live in an age of confusion and collapse.
The air hums with false promises—screens flashing counterfeit versions of truth, happiness, and love.
The world shouts that pleasure is purpose and that truth is whatever feels right.
But even in the chaos, a quiet ache stirs in the hearts of young men—a hunger for something more.
I see it in your eyes. You’re restless. You’re tired of shallow answers and cheap imitations of meaning.
You sense that life must have a deeper purpose—
and you’re right.
The Claymore Battle Plan was born from the collision between two realities: the darkness of our age
and the unquenchable light of divine truth. It was inspired by the evil I’ve witnessed—the assault on human dignity, the lies about love, the destruction of innocence—and by the young men who are rising up to meet these challenges.
Shaped by the life and teaching of Saint John Paul II,
the warrior-pope and prophet of our time,
it carries his message into today’s battlefield:
“Be not afraid.”
This handbook is your battle plan.
Your sword is not one of violence, but of truth and love.
The call is ancient: “You too go into my vineyard.”
Rise, brothers—for this is your moment to rediscover what it means to be men:
fully alive, fully human, and fully free.
