Book Description
In 1978, Jerry Boykin joined what would become the world's premier Special Operations unit, Delta Force. The only promise: "A medal and a body bag." What followed was a .50 caliber round in the chest and a life spent with America's elite forces bringing down warlords and war criminals, despots, and dictators. In Colombia, his task force hunted the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. In Panama, he helped capture the brutal dictator Manuel Noriega, liberating a nation. From Vietnam to Iran to Mogadishu, Lt. General Jerry Boykin's life reads like an action-adventure novel. Boykin's powerful story will keep you riveted as he reveals how his military duty worked in tandem with his faith to bring him through the bloody storms of foreign battle-and through the political firestorm that ambushed him in his own country.

Book Description
A Journey of Surrender: surrender cannot happen in a moment. Every day new opportunities to surrender our lives in deeper ways to our Father will arise. Are we ready for them? Will we count the cost and be willing to live a life poured out? There will be times of suffering. Is it worth it? Do we think this way of life is impossible? Yes, this way of life truly is possible, yet it requires patience to endure the hardships along the way. Are we ready to count the cost, giving up all we hold dear, clinging only to the One who gave us everything, so we may give ourselves, yes, we must be willing to give up our very lives for Him. Or is this world more enticing? This way is possible, but it will journey through the way of death so life might shine forth. It is not something we can do alone, we must seek Him until we find Him. He is faithful to help us, if we humbly go to the Father in faith, He will answer. He is looking for those who will search for Him with all their hearts. This journey may not give you warm fuzzy feelings, but encourage you to go with Jesus by your side, through the daily grinds. It will encourage you to seek Him with all your heart. You will find, you can only truly be satisfied in Him alone. Encouragement for those who are longing for a deeper life. If you desire for this to cultivate in your life, as you read this book, I pray your heart will turn to the only One who will help you get through every day.

Book Description
A launching pad for your spiritual journey, this inspiring book provides clear, specific, and practical guidelines for becoming a Christian who lives like Christ. Christians today live in a world that is activity heavy and relationship light. The result is spiritual emptiness. We struggle to know what God wants from us and for us . . . and we’re unsure what a real relationship with God really looks like. But that was never God’s idea. HIS idea of faith is not about rules or religion— it’s about relationship. That’s where God tells us to start. In Romans 12, God gives us a clear picture of what Christians should look like at the root level. If you’re ready to move from “in” to “all in,” then you’re ready to become a Romans 12 Christian. The next steps of your journey toward true spirituality start here.

Book Description
When I became a Christian, I felt very close to my heavenly Father. We had an intense relationship. I hungered for His Word, spending many hours each day devouring the Scriptures. My desire was to know Him better. When it came to service, I wasn't sure where I belonged within the family of God. I wanted to serve, but I didn't know how He would use me. I volunteered at church but didn't feel as though I was doing enough. I continued to do what I could and waited to discover God's plan for me. Several years later, during my college years, God called me to serve Him. There was no doubt in my mind. I finally knew where I belonged. I dove right in, practicing my gift, and became fairly good at it. Then, I began listening to people instead of God. His perfect plan for me didn't make sense from a worldly perspective. To follow His plan would take faith, and mine was dwindling. I began to think I could handle everything by myself. My eyes didn't look to God for guidance anymore. The trust I had in Him faded. I tried to control my own destiny. It reached a point where I felt very far away from God. I didn't like that feeling. I wanted to be close again. As I prayed and read His Word, God showed me the significance of 40 days. He revealed things in His Word that lead me to take 40 days to surrender my will and trust in His plan once more. I had been heading in the wrong direction but when I gave Him control, He literally and miraculously turned me around. He changed my life! As you read my story, I pray that you will be inspired to take 40 days to seek God's will for your life and allow Him to take control. Your life will never be the same.
