The year was 2010. PFC Charlie Martin was getting ready for the ride of his life. He was about to deploy along with some 4,000 other Iowa and Nebraska National Guard troops to the pit they call Afghanistan. How would he handle war? But his deployment wasn't just about him. Charlie's brother, Eddie, idolized his older sibling. So much so, he had joined the Guard a year after Charlie. And there was younger brother Dan. He was watching the whole thing way up too close and personal. Then came Mom and Dad. Hope and Rod Martin were part of the process, too. How would they navigate the coming year? Would the family be able to handle all of the stress and uncertainty? In order to find out, they needed to arm themselves with the perfect weapon. One that didn't use ammunition.

Book Description
National bestselling author Juliet Marillier revisits the classic fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast in this “engaging Gaelic fantasy romance staring two fascinating reluctant souls”(Genre Go Round Reviews). Whistling Tor is a place of secrets, a mysterious, wooded hill housing the crumbling fortress belonging to Anluan—a chieftain whose name is spoken throughout the region in tones of revulsion and bitterness. A curse lies over Anluan’s family and his people, and the woods themselves hold a perilous force whose every whisper threatens doom. Then the young scribe Caitrin appears in Anluan’s garden, admiring the rare plant known as heart’s blood. Retained to sort through entangled family documents, Caitrin brings about unexpected changes in the household, casting a hopeful light against the despairing shadows.

Book Description
When life blows up in your face like a bomb or when you are blindsided by unforeseen circumstances, you need to know God has not forgotten or abandoned you. When you are weary and want to quit fighting against the enemy of your soul, you need to know God is still with you, directing the fight! Whatever difficult circumstances you are facing, God loves you so much He has graciously provided you weapons on your belt of truth, the armor of God. Margaret Pogin explains what some these weapons are and how to use them through Scripture. She encourages you to continue fighting for the kingdom of God to manifest more thoroughly in your life here on earth. She gives real-life examples of the principles she outlines in each chapter from her own walk with God. This book was birthed out of Margaret's experiences while she and her husband were preaching to the persecuted church in a nation hostile to Christianity. God's deep desire to encourage His people to keep going and growing gave her a burden to share the lessons learned in her trials of life. God reminded her through Scriptures we have many weapons to fight the enemy of our souls and call on the army of God for protection. These weapons prove how much God loves us. These weapons guarantee a proper defense to continue to have faith, hope, and joy no matter our circumstances. Whether fighting for yourself, your family, church, city, country, business, or the kingdom of God, Margaret's message is meant to encourage those who are discouraged in the fight. If we do not quit, we ultimately win over Satan. That is written in the Word.
