"That Others May Live" is a mantra that defines the fearless men of Alaska's 212th Pararescue Unit, the PJs, one of the most elite military forces on the planet. Whether they are rescuing citizens injured and freezing in the Alaskan wilderness or saving wounded Rangers and SEALs in blazing firefights at war, the PJs are the least known and most highly trained of America's warriors. Never Quit is the true story of how Jimmy Settle, an Alaskan shoe-store clerk, became a Special Forces Operator and war hero.

Originally delivered in 1962 for artists—and made available now for the first time in English—St. John Paul II's (Karol Wojtyla's) penetrating spiritual exercises on divine beauty and its reflection in our humanity—and the art it produces—remain as timely as ever. The retreat itself, of course, forms the heart of this attractive volume.

Never Quit is the true story of how Jimmy Settle, an Alaskan shoe store clerk, became a Special Forces Operator and war hero. After being shot in the head during a dangerous high mountain operation in Afghanistan, Jimmy returns to battle with his teammates for a heroic rescue, the bullet fragments stitched over and still in his skull. In a cross between a suicide rescue mission and an against-all-odds mountain battle, his team of PJs risk their lives again in an epic firefight.

Most people have normal, boring jobs. Not me. I kill for a living. I'm a hitman for the Queensboro Mob, and I'm on a path of vengeance, vowing to destroy my rival, the leader of the Empire mafia and the most powerful man in New York City. But I find myself distracted by my beautiful neighbor. I hate her. I want her. I've become obsessed with her. I want to know everything about her. Then I want to make her mine.

Azriel Creed is having a baby—and he’s horrified. He senses something fiendish and diabolical about his unborn child. Even the sonogram suggests a devilish grin on its lips—as if it’s scheming to commit murder and genocide fresh out of the womb. Is it connected to Azriel’s dark destiny as Lucifer’s favorite? Or just a result of his unholy Predator heritage? Meanwhile, a creature of pure evil created by Nimrod when the Tower of Babel was built awakens in a cold basement. An evil that eats monsters, Predators, and people alike.

The IT management profession is not for the faint of heart. Anyone who has worked in this sector is familiar with the unique (and borderline impossible) challenge of trying to keep up with technological innovations while operating on a too-small budget and facing constant criticism for problems outside of your control. Truth From the Trenches passes on the hard-won leadership lessons that six-time CIO Mark Settle gained over years of working in IT management.

He was supposed to be a one-night stand . . . but it turned out to be the best sex of my life. Still, I wasn't looking for anything serious. I snuck out thinking I'd never see him again. Wrong. Imagine my surprise when I run into him a few weeks later at a Christmas party hosted by my best friend's father. Turns out, Elias Carter is the Don of the QBM—the Queensboro Mob—and I've become his new obsession.

Cultural Christianity is collapsing. The church is losing influence. Opposition is rising. Good. Because hostile times don’t weaken the Church—they ignite it. From the blood-soaked arenas of Rome to the underground house churches of China, from the flames of the Reformation to the pressure of the modern West, Grace Under Fire reveals a stunning truth: persecution has never destroyed God’s people. It has only made them stronger.

Greater Than a Tourist - Boquete, Panamá by Shelley Audette Settles offers the inside scoop on Boquete, the highland community turned expat haven. Most travel books tell you how to travel like a tourist. Although there is nothing wrong with that, as part of the Greater Than a Tourist series, this audiobook will give you travel tips from someone who has lived at your next travel destination.

The war is already over. Christ has won. So why does life still feel like a battlefield? Do you struggle with guilt that won't let go? Circumstances that make you doubt God's love? Temptations that feel impossible to resist? You're not losing your mind. You're experiencing spiritual warfare. But here's what most Christians don't understand: You're not fighting to win a victory—you're standing in a victory already won.

When life comes apart—when you're facing the unthinkable, drowning in circumstances beyond your control, or so overwhelmed you can barely breathe—the last thing you need is pressure to pray "correctly." What if God actually prefers your honest desperation over your polite performance? In Bold Before His Throne, you'll discover the most raw, unfiltered prayers in Scripture—and find permission to bring your real self before God's throne of grace.

Joy isn’t a mood. It’s a war cry. Happiness is flimsy. It cracks under pressure, vanishes with bad news, and leaves you chasing the next fix. But joy? That’s different. Joy sings behind prison bars, prays in hospital rooms, and laughs in the face of suffering—not because life is easy, but because Christ is enough. Paul wrote the words "Rejoice Always" from a Roman prison. His secret wasn’t optimism. It was Christ—anchoring him when everything else was torn away. This book isn’t another self-help guide peddling five steps to a better life.

This final Enoch Wars chapter puts Azriel Creed face to face with the Devil. But Lucifer doesn’t want to fight Azriel — the world’s most powerful being. He wants to help him destroy all the world’s remaining monsters by harnessing the dark energies pent up in his blood-line for over 800 years. But as the young Predator quickly finds out, when bargaining with the Prince of Darkness, the price is steep, and there’s no escaping his unholy debt.

My life has been a whirlwind of heartbreak, beginning with the death of my brother when I was 18-years-old. He was my best friend. I worked through my grief by writing a book about his life and that book was turned into a movie.

It’s been nine months since Azriel defeated the werewolf king. Since then, he’s been hiding from monsters. He works a boring job stocking shelves in an office supply store. He verbally abuses the customers for his amusement. He enjoys a content life he hasn’t had since first working as a monster bounty hunter for the government.

In a "hurried-up" world obsessed with image and presentation to impress people instead of blessing people, entertaining the notion of entertaining is tough. Could it be in our rush to entertain, we've sacrificed meaningful connection? Maybe there's a better welcome to be discovered.

Three best friends from wildly different backgrounds tell stories about their lives. They're almost always hilarious, usually crazy, and sometimes intense.

It's been nearly two decades since I lost the love of my life and I'm still struggling to move on. My grief plays on a perpetual cycle, and every time I think I’m ready to move forward—bam—something new throws me back into the depths of it. The latest hit comes in the form of a movie being made about the inspiring life my fiancé lived. Things go from bad to worse when the actor cast to play him waltzes into my bar, begging me to help him with the role. “Help me become Tyler Taylor.”
