Uncommon Valor from Dwight Jon Zimmerman and John D. Gresham presents a fascinating look at six of our bravest soldiers and the highest military decoration awarded in this country. Since the Vietnam War ended in 1973, the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest award for valor, has been presented to only eight men for their actions "above and beyond the call of duty." Six of the eight were young men who had fought in the current war in Iraq, Afghanistan, or both. All of these medals were awarded posthumously, as all had made the choice to give their lives so that their comrades might live. Uncommon Valor answers the searing question of who these six young soldiers were, and dramatically details how they found themselves in life-or-death situations, and why they responded as they did. For the first time, this book also provides a comprehensive history of the Medal of Honor itself—one marred by controversies, scandals, and theft. Using an extraordinary range of sources, including interviews with family members and friends, teammates and superiors in the military, personal letters, blogs posted within hours of events, personal and official videos and newly declassified documents, Uncommon Valor is a compelling and important work that recounts incredible acts of heroism and lays bare the ultimate sacrifice of our bravest soldiers.

Can Vakr and his warriors save his village from what appear to be bloodthirsty werewolves? Vakr, a Viking of the eighth century, jumps overboard into the misty ocean waters to rescue a woman being attacked by a shark. The powerful warrior claims the beauty as his own and takes her to his village, which he hasn't seen in over a year. Devastation has befallen his people in a great famine. A raid, a new move and wolves the likes of which he and his people have never known begin murdering his men and raping the women. How can this be? Svana, a woman of the twenty-first century, is dragged into a strange, unknown world. How is it possible that two rings have thrown her and her twin brother, David, back through time? All that is certain is Svana's overwhelming passion for Vakr, and compassion for his people, are needed to save Vakr's village from certain death and starvation.

A New York Times bestseller. From FOX & Friends Weekend cohost Pete Hegseth comes a collection of inspiring stories from fifteen of America’s greatest heroes—highly decorated Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, marines, Purple Heart recipients, combat pilots, a Medal of Honor recipient, and more—based on FOX Nation’s hit show of the same name. After three Army deployments—earning two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman’s Badge—Pete Hegseth knows what it takes to be a modern warrior. In Modern Warriors he presents candid, unfiltered conversations with fellow modern warriors and digs for real answers to key questions like: What inspired them to serve? What is their legacy? What does sacrifice really mean to them? How do they handle loss? And what can civilians learn from this latest generation of veterans? From the skies over Afghanistan to the seas of the Mediterranean to the treacherous streets of Iraq, these brave men and women take you inside the firefight, sharing the harrowing realities of war. Hegseth uses their experiences to facilitate conversations about the raw truths of combat, including the difficulties of transitioning back home, while also celebrating these soldiers’ contributions to preserving our nation’s most precious gift—freedom. In addition to the oral history, Modern Warriors presents dozens of personal, rarely shared photos from the battlefield and the home front. Together these stories and images provide an unvarnished representation of battlefield leadership, military morale, and the strain of war. This book is the perfect keepsake and gift for anyone who wants to know what it means, and what it truly takes, to be a patriot.

The Budo Sho Shinshu was originally written by Daidoji Yuzan as a text book on warrior ethics for young people born into the warrior caste. It teaches the general tenets of bushido without going too far into any one fief's history or traditions, which is one of the reasons the original text was so widely accepted. The Code of the Warrior is a clear and easy to understand version of the Budo Sho Shinshu. Anyone who wants to understand the Japanese frame of mind or gain insight into the warrior's soul should start with this book. Although the caste system has long been abolished, the principles of bushido still influence every facet of the Japanese way of thinking. Today's warriors will find a wealth of information and guidance in the pages of this book.

Sergeant Deedee Contreras leads a SWAT team into a drug house occupied by militia terrorists who force her and her officers into a gunfight. Suddenly, Contreras and her team find themselves being tossed around by a tornado that hits on top of the house during the gun battle, wreaking havoc and leaving her unconscious. When she awakens, she finds herself alone in an apocalyptic wasteland of war and death, a warrior's world called Endos, where her only companion is Tito, a drug dog that chased her and her officers into the house before the tornado hit. Desperate to find a way back to her team, Deedee befriends a powerful female knight named Saradietus, who imparts onto her the Boots of Power and sends her on a quest to meet with the Warlord of Soldier City, an ally who has the power to send her back home. During her quest, she saves the lives of three warriors who swear an oath to repay her by helping fulfill her quest to get back to her fellow officers, and in doing so, becomes her new team. All the while, a powerful enemy by the name of Kiladris seeks to destroy Contreras and claim the boots for herself. New Warriors of Endos is a science-fiction, action-based, adventure story that serves as a dark satire, with adult themes, fantastic violence, and some social commentary.

The thread throughout this inspiring poetry collection is that, no matter what the problem or situation is, nothing is too big or too small for God to handle. Poems of Inspiration and Prophecy is a moving collection of poems composed of uplifting spiritual messages from the Lord. Carla Edwards pieced together this unique work under the direction of God; He provided her with the ideas for the titles and topics of the poems, and then the words came freely to her. The messages are clear and concise, having the power to inspire anyone who reads them or hears them read aloud. From Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places to Everybody in Such a Rush-Do You Know Where You Are Going To?, Edwards considers everyday life and how we find comfort in Gods love and understanding. Poems of Inspiration and Prophecy provides a blessed reassurance that we dont have to go through this life alone. Poems of Inspiration and Prophecy serves as a prophetic clarion call to men and women to live up to their potential. Evangelist Lisa Paul I do truly believe that she has been bountifully blessed with these writings, which The Lord and Savior has given unto her. Founding Pastor Catherine Jackson
