Hey, I just finished Mr. Ayoob's book. It was awesome. However, does anyone know of a similar work that is more recent?

He authored another book The Truth About Self Protection. You might check it out--it is more comprehensive.
Amazon.com: The Truth About Self Protection: Massad Ayoob: Books
The Truth About Self Protection, Massad Ayoob
The Truth About Self Protection
Most likely available many other places, too.
The Holy Bible has different versions, but what was written then is as appropriate today as it was then.Quote:

"In the Gravest Extreme" is a timeless classic.

The entire LFI-1 class is usually $800. You can take Judicious Use Of Deadly Force--the classroom part only--usually for $400. Check LFI's site or call Dot--she can help you find a close one!
To my knowledge there is no update for ITGE.

Since Mas livesin Florida there is usually a class there. I just attended the LFI II class in WA and by booking well ahead my plane flight from AZ was cheaper than driving to Prescott and back countin wear and tear. While at LFI you won't spend a bunch of entertainment money because you will have nightlyhomework and he means it. This is easilly one of the most intense learning sessions in my life, and I have two Masters Degrees.
Next, look into the Legal Defense Network, LLC that Marty Hays and Mas are part of.
There are many good books out there. Some I've read and some I have not.Quote:
