In 2009, Jamie Jungers' life exploded into the media spotlight when Tiger Woods crashed his SUV outside his Florida home. Outed in a media frenzy as one of Tiger's ex-mistresses, Jamie's life spiraled into a destructive pattern of drug addiction and darkness that brought her to the brink of death. At 88 pounds and hooked on heroin and meth, she was captured after a dramatic chase by the famed bounty hunting team of Dog and Beth Chapman in one of Beth's final hunts before her death from cancer in 2019. After growing up with the spiritual values of America's heartland, Jamie moved to Las Vegas to begin a modeling career and soon found herself seduced by the glitzy world of celebrity, fame, and money. Before long she had abandoned the principles of faith that had always guided her and descended into a world of compromise and addiction, where anything goes, and nothing was as it seemed.Soon her world became a media circus, with high-profile appearances on the Today Show and a raunchy victory in Howard Stern's "Tiger Woods' Mistress Beauty Pageant" that netted her $75,000 and a diamond ring. The money fueled her opiate addiction and Jamie became a caricature of herself, mocked by the media, betrayed by the people she trusted, and arrested multiple times.Nine years of abusing drugs had stolen her looks and self-worth, and she was enveloped in a swirling darkness that slowly dragged her down a drain of despair. By the time she was rescued by Duane "Dog" Chapman, Jamie was moving between drug houses to score the next hit, convinced her life was over.In a stunning sequence of events, Jamie's life began to turn as she accepted help and entered the rehab that would change her life. Reconnecting with her faith, she found there had been no decision or drug den so dark that she was beyond the light of God's grace. "Captured by Grace" will both surprise and encourage anyone living in darkness from addiction or other challenges. In a world of despair, it is a story of redemption and restoration, an inspiring reminder that even when it does not seem like it, you are never very far from hope.

Understanding the Logic of Grace Self-effort and behavior modification that many Christians live under is a lie that has demoralized and defeated the church for centuries. A revelation of grace brings liberty! “Grace is too good to be true!” It does seem too good to be true. But it is true! Liberty, freedom, joy, spiritual passion, hope, and a host of other benefits result from a revelation of grace. Spiritual revival is crucial for a maturing believer—and understanding grace is part of that process. “Some statements and concepts in this humble attempt to explain the nearly unexplainable may shock your religious sensibilities, but please hear me out. I have been teaching and learning these biblical truths for decades, and they have dramatically improved my life and the lives of many others,” writes author and Pastor Clark Whitten. Intriguing and thought-provoking chapter topics include:· Are Christians Under the Law?· Where on Earth Does God Live?· Like Rats in a Maze· Two Unchangeable Things· The Next Great Awakening· Saved Completely Pure Grace is the gateway to becoming a fruitful, mature, and joyous disciple.

New York Times bestseller More than 100,000 copies in print Completed just two days before Louis Zamperini’s death at age ninety-seven, Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In shares a lifetime of wisdom, insight, and humor from “one of the most incredible American lives of the past century” (People). Zamperini’s story has touched millions through Laura Hillenbrand’s biography Unbroken and its blockbuster movie adaptation directed by Angelina Jolie. Now, in his own words, Zamperini reveals with warmth and great charm the essential values and lessons that sustained him throughout his remarkable journey. He was a youthful troublemaker from California who turned his life around to become a 1936 Olympian. Putting aside his track career, he volunteered for the army before Pearl Harbor and was thrust into World War II as a B-24 bombardier. While on a rescue mission, his plane went down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where he survived against all odds, drifting two thousand miles in a small raft for forty-seven days. His struggle was only beginning: Zamperini was captured by the Japanese, and for more than two years he courageously endured torture and psychological abuse in a series of prisoner-of-war camps. He returned home to face more dark hours, but in 1949 Zamperini’s life was transformed by a spiritual rebirth that would guide him through the next sixty-five years of his long and happy life. Louis Zamperini’s Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In is an extraordinary last testament that captures the wisdom of a life lived to the fullest.
