Country music icon, army veteran, father, outdoorsman—Craig Morgan shares all aspects of his life, revealing stories even his most avid fans don’t know. Written with Jim DeFelice, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller American Sniper In 1989, as US news outlets declared an end to Operation Just Cause, Craig Morgan was part of an elite group of military operatives jumping into the jungle along the Panamanian border on a covert operation. Fans know the country music star from his hit songs and acclaimed albums, but there’s a lot more to him—a soldier who worked with the CIA in Panama, an undercover agent who fought sex traffickers in Thailand, and a dedicated family man who lives the values he sings. Craig details these many facets of his life and more in God, Family, Country. An on-stage appearance with his father’s band at age ten may have planted the seeds for life as a country star, but first he trained as a paratrooper in the army. After earning numerous distinctions, his path to sergeant major was all but assured. Then came a momentous decision: he left the active military to pursue music. With unwavering support from his wife and a pack of part-time jobs, he toughed out the lean years and achieved his first big success with the poignant ballad “Almost Home.” Other hits soon followed, from party songs like “Redneck Yacht Club” to the soul-rending “The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost.” Born from the anguish of his son Jerry’s passing, the song’s tribute has consoled and inspired millions across the world. Duty to country has been a constant throughout his life and globe-spanning career. In 2006, as “That’s What I Love about Sunday” topped country radio charts, Craig was riding in a convoy of Humvees in Iraq. An avid outdoorsman, a former sheriff’s deputy who’s still a member of the auxiliary, and always a husband and father first, Craig Morgan will inspire you with his life lived by the deepest values: God, family, country.

Awareness is critical in every situation. Success and failure are determined by the choices we make. The smartest among us possesses limited awareness of time, space, materiality and other people that affect those choices. We routinely miss the ripple effects that we send into the world as consequences of those choices. Hidden in the background is God's plan for each life. He knows our thoughts, words, and deeds and their contributions to eternity. We are called to be faithful to His prescriptions for living, however, we often use our freedom to choose to muck things up, sometimes for generations. Nevertheless, God's Invisible Hand is always at work; His plan always produces good, especially for those who are faithful. Generations of turning from God and basic economic principles of life have together created a moral and financial chaos which threatens the very existence of civilization as we have known it. Those who comprehend the seriousness of the escalating risks facing us on multiple fronts and who turn faithfully back to God for guidance, will be far better prepared to deal with the coming global implosion. Be one of them, starting now!

The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Earth are competing for citizenship, and neither is willing to give deference. Take a month and allow the Gospel of John to adjust your thinking, and reexamine the Kingdom with which you are aligned. The “Think About” series is a set of standalone Christian devotionals that combines biblical application with poignant stories and metaphors. Each book contains thirty-one reflections that take an average of ten minutes to read but much longer to digest. In this book, you will embark on a journey that will traverse the entire Gospel of John. In those accounts, Jesus supplies wine to a wedding, crosses gender and racial barriers, and uses a whip to break up a church service. Whether you are a skeptic or lifelong believer, each chapter will evoke one simple question: Who is Jesus to you, and how is that going to affect your life?

The Appalachian region stretches from Mississippi to New York, encompassing rural areas as well as cities from Birmingham to Pittsburgh. Though Appalachia's people are as diverse as its terrain, few other regions in America are as burdened with stereotypes. Author Frank X Walker coined the term "Affrilachia" to give identity and voice to people of African descent from this region and to highlight Appalachia's multicultural identity. This act inspired a group of gifted artists, the Affrilachian Poets, to begin working together and using their writing to defy persistent stereotypes of Appalachia as a racially and culturally homogenized region. After years of growth, honors, and accomplishments, the group is acknowledging its silver anniversary with Black Bone. Edited by two newer members of the Affrilachian Poets, Bianca Lynne Spriggs and Jeremy Paden, Black Bone is a beautiful collection of both new and classic work and features submissions from Frank X Walker, Nikky Finney, Gerald Coleman, Crystal Wilkinson, Kelly Norman Ellis, and many others. This illuminating and powerful collection is a testament to a groundbreaking group and its enduring legacy.
