Crossfire (Extreme Measures Book #2)

Lynette Eason

Publisher: Revell

Summary

She's never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of her sister. 
 
FBI special agent Julianna Jameson is a top-notch negotiator, but when her much younger sister, Dottie, needs a place to live while she finishes high school, Julianna's skills will be put to the test. 
 
Former sniper Clay Fox left the army after a tragic incident that he can't get past. Until he can figure out what to do with the rest of his life, he's working as a resource officer at a school. Dottie's school.  
 
When Julianna is called in to negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister, he's impressed--and, if he's honest, a bit intimidated--by the calm, capable woman with the dark hair and blue eyes, and invites her to speak at the school.  
 
But as the anniversary of a school shooting from Julianna's past approaches, it becomes clear that her perfect record is about to be tested and that Dottie is at risk. If Julianna and Clay can't figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and Dottie is next in line. 
 
"Expertly plotted and relentlessly paced. This high-octane thriller keeps up the momentum through the final page."--Publishers Weekly

Folly - The Memoir of a Call...

Kelsey Daniels

Kelsey had a secret. (Actually, she had several secrets.)
While most people in university were going on dates or hanging with friends between classes, Kelsey was unknowingly entering the underground world of sex work. Juggling the demands of being a college athlete while battling with depression and her own self-worth, Kelsey was enticed the first time she heard her college professor mutter the words "sugar baby."
In search of money and attention, Kelsey found herself slowly entangled in an industry where she would inadvertently be groomed, ensnared, and ultimately, exploited. Moving to Texas after college, Kelsey scaled her business and began jet-setting around the world, clinging to the illusion that she was in control...that is, until an encounter with the Holy Spirit changed everything. In Folly, Daniels paints an intricate portrait of her path into sex work and the difficult journey to untangle herself from the lure of an industry that had shaped her. In this unfiltered, witty, and raw account of Kelsey's time as an Escort, Folly showcases the dark subculture that exists behind the veil of luxury. This story is a testament to the power of God's grace and mercy, and His ability to meet His children exactly where they are, regardless of setting or circumstance.
Author's Note: Before you embark on this listening experience, it's essential to acknowledge that the content of this book touches upon sensitive and challenging themes such as abuse, mental health struggles, and trauma. As such, it may not be suitable for younger listeners or those who may find such topics distressing. I approach these topics with honesty and with the intention of shedding light on the human experience and fostering empathy and understanding around difficult discussions. As you navigate through the chapters of this memoir, I encourage you to proceed with caution and self-care.

Bitterness - The Root That Pollutes

Lou Priolo

When people treat you wrongly, insult you, or are outright sinful to you, how do you react? Are you satisfied to hold grudges against those who wrong you, as long as they don't lead to action? Unfortunately, your decision to harbor bitterness is just as much of a sin as the one originally committed against you, and your reaction to others' sin is a spiritual battle you are called on to win. 
 
 
 
Lou Priolo focuses on that battle in this vital book that seeks to weed out the problem of bitterness. By offering a biblical definition and identifying its outward signs, the author equips you to recognize bitterness in your own life, and he lays out a scriptural plan to ensure victory by repaying others' evil with good. You will find grudges losing their grip as you focus instead on how to show love. 
 
 
 
The Resources for Biblical Living series addresses a wide range of practical life issues in a straightforward, down-to-earth, and, most of all, biblical manner.
