Books by Terry Hipp

Nonfiction and fiction about danger, courage, consequences, faith, and the choices people make under pressure.

Nonfiction: The Essentials Series

Practical, plainspoken books on self-defense, executive protection, workplace violence, community vulnerability, criminal justice, and real-world risk.
Book 1 — Executive Protection: The Essentials
Protection is not paranoia. It is preparation.
Book 2 — Self-Defense: The Essentials
You do not need to become a fighter. You need a plan.
Book 3 — Front Row Seat to Justice: The Essentials
Lessons from inside the criminal justice system, told plainly and practically.
Book 4 — Workplace Violence: The Essentials
Workplace violence does not usually begin with violence. It begins with warning signs, patterns, pressure, silence, and missed opportunities to intervene.
Book 5 — Community Vulnerability: The Essentials
Prepared communities are not fearful communities. They are honest, alert, organized, and willing to address risk before it becomes tragedy.
