  Some wounds never heal. 
  As a former Navy SEAL, Walker Montgomery faces danger without flinching. But not even a combat zone halfway around the world was far enough to escape the trauma of his teen years. His younger sister was murdered and the killer never caught. Since returning home, he’s been quietly working the case, unable to move on with his life until justice is served. 
  She’s a survivor. 
  Hayley Barlow has her own tragic childhood. Abducted and held captive, she barely escaped the clutches of the same killer that murdered Walker’s sister. The invisible scars on her heart and the brand on her shoulder are souvenirs she can’t get rid of. When Hayley receives a taunting phone call from her attacker, she turns to Walker for help. 
  A race to stop a killer. 
  Walker is committed to safeguarding Hayley, but their closeness fractures the walls surrounding his heart. As the killer draws them into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, nothing is as it seems. Walker is used to taking the fight to the enemy, but this time, with Hayley’s life on the line, it may cost him more than he’s willing to lose. 
  Tactical Force is the sixth novel in the gripping Triumph Over Adversity series, but each book can be read as a standalone. If you enjoy stories featuring brave military heroes, intense suspense, and heartwarming romance, then you won't want to miss this captivating read.

  Second chances arrive like Christmas miracles for two long-ago friends in this heart-stirring novel from the internationally bestselling author of the California-set Miramar Bay novels. 
   
  When life is in turmoil … 
   
  Pushing through his troubled childhood, Dillon Farrow was still a teenager when he said goodbye to Miramar and did himself proud, thriving as a successful investment counselor. But a betrayal by a trusted advisor has brought everything crashing down. Dillon’s only recourse is to return to Miramar, penniless and feeling defeated—even more so when a winter flood renders all roads to town impassable. Now he and his fellow stranded travelers are destined to spend Christmas at the only available accommodations—the local jail. Yet it’s in this makeshift inn that Dillon sees her. His first love. The girl he left behind.  
   
  There’s always hope if you wait out the storm … 
   
  After an emotionally and financially devastating divorce, Olivia Greer has no choice but to come back to her hometown of Miramar. Less a retreat than a surrender, it’s the first time in years—since Olivia’s mother, her best friend for life, passed away. In the interim, their hillside cottage has remained empty, as forlorn as Olivia herself. The flood only seems like fate testing her resilience one more time. But providence comes in myriad forms: Dillon Farrow, the sweet boy who once had dreams of better things. Just like Olivia. 
   
  The future can hold dreams as well. Crossing paths is a Christmas blessing Dillon and Olivia never expected—a reunion with the potential to impact other lives too.  
   
  And for both of them, perhaps in the cottage on the hill, Miramar could finally start feeling like home again.

  A Pilgrimage into Letting Go -...

  Andy and Kara were anxious—anxious about their teenaged children approaching adulthood in a tumultuous world. Anxious, too, about their ministries; after all, as America's pews empty, the church depends on its leaders to save it. If only they could control the circumstances faced by those who depended on them, they could ensure their success. 
   
   
   
  But maybe the solution isn't paving the way for our kids or our congregations. Maybe it's hiking the long road alongside them. 
   
   
   
  Andy and Kara took this literally. Following the way of Cuthbert, a seventh-century saint, they embarked with their kids on a sixty-three-mile walking pilgrimage in England and Scotland. Over the course of their journey, Andy and Kara learned that when we release control, we can regain connection—with our families, with fellow pilgrims along the road, with nature, and with God. 
   
   
   
  Thought-provoking and relatable, A Pilgrimage into Letting Go will help parents, pastors, and ministry leaders let go of their anxiety and open themselves up to God's transformative grace.

  "Those at a faith crossroads will want to pick this up."--Publishers Weekly 
   
  The Gospel Coalition 2023 Book Award (Evangelism & Apologetics) 
   
  Even those who live by faith sometimes doubt. Those doubts don't have to mean the end of Christian identity.  
   
  In Surprised by Doubt, Joshua Chatraw and Jack Carson help readers rediscover a deeper faith in the midst of a confusing world. They invite skeptics and doubters to explore the ancient faith for a new perspective on contemporary Christianity. 
   
  Chatraw and Carson build on C. S. Lewis's metaphor that envisions Christianity as a house with many rooms, suggesting that readers move beyond the cramped attic of reactionary versions of the faith to explore the larger, more ancient main floors of the house.  
   
  With pastoral care and intellectual rigor, Chatraw and Carson not only help Christians think through the issues confronting them. They also help readers engage their emotional journey of anxiety, fear, anger, and frustration. Readers will discover the wisdom of the past and ways to reimagine a faith that can thrive alongside doubt.

  Meditations On Sickness Recovery...

  John Donne

  By 1617, Donne had done it all. After being an MP, lawyer, womaniser, soldier, diplomat, father to twelve children by a secret wife, and the greatest poet of his age, he settled into the priesthood. Shortly thereafter, his wife died, prompting him to write a defence of suicide in God's eyes. She was soon followed by his 18 year old daughter died. 
  Then Donne fell gravely ill. Physicians were called, but none could agree on what to do. It seemed certain that he would die. 
  While bedridden from illness, Donne wrote a series of meditations, including his most famous piece, Meditation 17 (No man is an island) Weaving together his rage at his infirmity with deep insight on the interconnections between sickness, faith, monarchy, and the body social and politic, these meditations are immediately accessible to anyone that has suffered serious illness. 
  Seven years later,  he delivered his final sermon. On the first Friday in lent, 1632, he stood before Charles I at Westminster Abbey, visibly emaciated and weak, and gave a sermon filled with blood and fire and thunder, an acceptance and validation of death without any mercy or pity. The greatest and most complex lyricist of his age  went as he lived, speaking  words visceral and complex, subtle and profound and profane. 
  "The sermon is one of the most "creepy" fragments of theological literature. There is not much that we should call doctrine, no pensive or consolatory teaching, no appeal to souls in the modern sense. The effect aimed at is that of horror, of solemn preparation for the advent of death,... The Dean of St. Paul's, whose reputation for learned sanctity had scarcely sufficed to shelter him from scandal on the ground of his fantastic defence of suicide, was familiar with the idea of Death, and greeted him as a welcome old friend whose face he was glad to look on long and closely." - Edmund Gosse
