    IF THE BURMA ARMY CAUGHT HIM, THEY'D EXECUTE HIM. 
David Small knew this as he crouched in a ditch, bullets cracking overhead—exactly the kind of place missionaries aren't supposed to end up—more Mr. Bean than James Bond, and absolutely certain he was about to die. 
Again. 
For ten years with the Free Burma Rangers, he's slipped across borders in the dead of night. Navigated landmine fields. Ducked as jets screamed overhead dropping 500-pound bombs. Pulled wounded soldiers from rivers of blood. Watched friends die in his arms. 
Burma is fighting the world's longest civil war. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Villages burned. Millions displaced. Names erased. Faces forgotten. And almost no one's paying attention. 
Small embedded with resistance fighters in the jungle—Rohingya, Karen, Karenni, Kachin, Arakan—learning their languages, eating their food, becoming family. They gave him new names. Taught him how to survive. Showed him what courage actually looks like. 
Through blood and fear, he learned the cost of following God: Don't be led by comfort or fear. 
This is what happens when you say yes to God—scared, unqualified, but obedient. When love demands more than you have. When showing up matters more than being ready. 
Raw. Honest. Unforgettable. 
Read by the author and includes a sample of the Nameless Faceless People soundtrack.

When she’s assigned a story about the current water contamination crisis in town, Naya is ready to show her boss she has what it takes to secure a promotion—especially since the events surrounding the story have personal ties to her childhood. When her investigation makes her the target of someone who wants the truth kept quiet, how far will Naya’s determination take her before the cost becomes too much? 
Rescue Squad firefighter and former foster kid Zack Stephens is ready to step up his game at work when his boss hands him a cold case for hazmat training.

But he doesn’t expect his search to collide with Naya, the girl he promised to protect when they lived in foster care together. 
As threats mount and Naya is caught in the crosshairs, can Zack reconcile the mistakes of his past and find a killer before someone deals a lethal blow? And can the two of them learn to trust—and love—each other again despite the pain of their past? 
Rescued Duty is a pulse-pounding tale of second chances, found family, and the unbreakable bonds forged in the face of adversity.

    A Concise Guide to Finding Jesus in the Old Testament

Can we see Jesus in the first 39 books of Scripture? While Christians believe the entire Bible points to Jesus as the Messiah, many have trouble identifying him in the Old Testament because he's never mentioned by name.
 
In this addition to the Church Questions series, David King guides curious readers on a journey to discover Jesus in all of Scripture. The booklet begins by examining Jesus's own understanding of how the Old Testament witnesses to him. Next, readers learn 6 ways the Old Testament points to Jesus, including promises of redemption, how Jesus fulfilled Old Testament law and wisdom, and Old Testament types of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection. Finally, King explains why it matters to believers and the church today that Jesus is understood as the fulfillment of the Old Testament.

-  Biblical and Theological: Explains the various ways in which Jesus fulfills the Old Testament 
-  Accessible: Answers common questions about the Old Testament in a short, easy-to-read format
-  Part of the 9Marks Church Questions Series: Other titles include What Should I Look For in a Church?; How Can I Be Sure I'm Saved?; and Is God Really Sovereign?
