Funny and cynical, this book is for those who were invited to life's big banquet and ended up working at the drive-thru. It offers such wisdom as: Hope is a crutch. Crutches are only good for getting two things: awesome parking at the mall and sympathy dates with hot chicks. Otherwise, they will just slow you down.

An acclaimed bow hunter who defies the stereotype that hunting is a man’s game, Eva Shockey is at the forefront of a new wave of women and girls who are passionate about outdoor sports. Eva Shockey grew up expecting to be a dancer like her glamorous mother. But something about spending family vacations RV-ing across North America and going on hunts with her dad sparked in her an enduring passion for a different way of life. In Taking Aim, Eva tells a very personal story of choosing the less-traveled path to a rewarding life in outdoor pursuits like hunting and fishing. For her, as her millions of fans can attest, that has meant hunting as a way of harvesting food, caring deeply about conservation, sustainability and healthy eating, and getting closer to God in nature. In this riveting memoir for the adventurer in all of us, Eva takes readers along as she hunts caribou on the rugged Aleutian Islands, tracks a 1,500-pound bull moose across the unforgiving Yukon, and meets many other challenges of a life in the wild. Along the way we learn that hunting is about so much more than pulling a trigger. "My story is about discovering your dream," writes Eva. "It's about following your passion, mastering your skills, taking aim no matter who thinks you’re crazy…and then letting the arrow fly. If you’ve done all you can, I can tell you that you’re almost certain to hit your mark." Whether you’re a lifelong hunter or a city dweller who has never set foot in the wilderness, Eva’s story delivers an empowering message about rejecting stereotypes and expectations, believing in yourself, and finding the courage to pursue what you care about most.

It seems that much of American Christianity has lost sight of the goal of growing to maturity in Christ. This loss of vision has had serious consequences for the quality of our witness and ministry. In Aiming at Maturity, Steven W. Rankin seeks to bring back into focus key qualities of spiritual maturity and summarizes important biblical passages to show the scriptural foundations that call for spiritual maturity. Rankin also addresses certain tendencies in popular Christian culture to reduce doctrinal truths to sound bites with the laudable but counterproductive goal to make doctrine memorable, therefore applicable. Thinking more expansively about certain key doctrines related to the work of Christ and the impact of grace contributes to growth toward maturity in a way that popular descriptions of these doctrines do not. Finally, Rankin also challenges readers to consider the important role of emotions in developing Christlike dispositions, which contribute toward producing the fruit of a mature Christian life. By looking at relevant modern research, Aiming at Maturity shows the inherent connection between thoughts and feelings that draw us closer to the actual biblical description of the heart.

Save Your Ammo is a simple, plain-language guide to working across cultures for national security professionals. For more than a decade, cognitive scientists Drs. Rasmussen and Sieck have interviewed hundreds of U.S. military personnel with extensive experience working overseas about their challenging engagements with foreign populations and partners. The goal of their research has been to uncover the skills and strategies these cross-cultural experts use to adapt quickly and work effectively with people who look, think, and act differently from themselves. Rasmussen and Sieck found that seasoned military professionals rely on 12 cultural competencies to connect with foreigners, and deal with surprising and sometimes shocking experiences. These were strategies that often took years and many deployments to develop. Now, they are presented in a form that aids new personnel to acquire and hone the strategies before they're sent abroad for the first time. The study results have been briefed to Congress and have helped shape new Department of Defense policy directing how personnel should be prepared for cultural engagements. Save Your Ammo is a practical book that makes cultural competence accessible and engaging. Save Your Ammo explains each strategy in the simplest terms possible and draws on more than 60 true stories from critical cultural engagements around the world to illustrate their application in national security contexts.
