The Warrior Soul - Life is a battle, and we are all soldiers. We may not wear a uniform, eat in a mess hall, or dodge actual bullets for a living, but we are in a war—a very crucial one. Just walk into any room of people and you’ll find immeasurable pain and wounds. On the outside we wear our camouflage well, but on the inside, deep within our own souls, we realize life is a conflict. It is traceable to a single source: Satan, the adversary of our souls. Written by two US Army Green Berets, The Warrior’s Soul provides a guide for how to apply the techniques of a true warrior in the spiritual realm by emphasizing five core elements:
A cause greater than self—why we fight
A settled memory—the link between history and current circumstances
A personal intensity—eager for challenges and undistracted by personal issues
An unflagging optimism—an absolute commitment to never surrender
A deep camaraderie—a personal commitment to fellow warriors
True warriors are willing to stand when others bow. With this first-rate preparation for spiritual battle you can stand strong and see victory.
The Ambition - A routine mob hit lights the fuse on an explosive collision of ambition and deception in the Windy City’s corridors of power. Drawing on his years as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, bestselling author Lee Strobel reveals an insider’s tale of power, politics, and payoffs as current as today’s headlines. When a down-on-his-luck lawyer is coerced into bribing a judge to fix an upcoming mob trial, he secretly tapes the exchange to protect himself. After the dirty judge becomes a finalist for an open U.S. Senate seat, the incriminating tape isn’t the only thing standing in his way. Pastor-turned politician Eric Snow is determined to use his suburban megachurch as a launching pad for securing th eSenate appointment. And newspaper reporter Garry Strider threatens to uncover both candidates’ secrets in an investigation that may cost him his life. Strobel weaves these edgy characters into an intricate thriller set within a gleaming suburban megachurch, a big-city newspaper struggling for survival, and the shadowy corridors of political intrigue. The riveting climax is as unforgettable as the contract killing that punctuates the opening scene.
