Greg Wark
When warfighters, who risk their lives in defense of their country, complete their active-duty service, many go on to endure lasting, personal tortures. The stressors and experiences of military life force them to contend with life-altering conditions and challenges that make their lives unbearable not only for themselves but also their loved ones. For too many, the outcomes are homelessness, suicide, divorce, post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and more. Suicide doesn’t just take one’s own life, it also takes large parts of the lives of those who love the sufferer. Greg Wark, a chaplain for federal law enforcement and holds a Masters in Theology and D.Min, has counseled military members and veterans for more than twenty-seven years through mentorship, crisis intervention, and reintegration programs. Wark guides these respected men and women in identifying the source of their trauma, admitting their need for help, seeking professional support, and breaking free from the hold of their past. In The Warfighter’s Soul: Engaging in the Battle for the Warrior’s Soul (BroadStreet® Publishing), Wark and coauthor Ray Rodriguez explore the trauma and forces that attack the minds, souls, and everyday lives of military personnel and veterans. They offer guidance on the lingering consequences of war while helping the warfighter care for their soul, confront and manage traumatic events, and assist others in crisis. The Warfighter’s Soul is for veterans, those who know a veteran, and those entering the military. It prepares readers to face the unseen enemy that buries itself inside the soul of a veteran. http://thewarfighterssoul.org

SQuire and Louise DuArt Rushnell
New York Times bestselling author SQuire Rushnell and his wife Louise DuArt share 21 brand-new and 9 classic true-life stories of extraordinary “Godwinks” at Christmastime, proving that what some thought was “coincidence” wasn't coincidence at all, but a supernatural “hotline” from God. Think back to when you were a kid and someone you loved gave you a little wink across the dining room table, like Mom or Dad or Grandma. You didn't say, “What do you mean by that?” You knew. It meant: “Hey kid, I'm proud of you.” That's what a Godwink is: a message of reassurance from above, directly to you, out of seven billion people on the planet, saying “Hey kid...I have you on my mind right now. I love you. You’re never alone.” A Godwink can be an unexpected connection to someone you love, a mysterious pathway to a life-changing opportunity, unanticipated income out of the blue, or an answered prayer that makes you say “wow”! Godwinks let you know that God is always extending you a tangible connection to Him, like a firm handrail on dark, wobbly stairs. Now, just in time for the holiday season, comes Godwinks Christmas Stories, a collection of astonishing true-life stories centered around Christmas that demonstrate how God has shown Himself in the lives of others. He’ll do the same for you. Husband and wife authors SQuire Rushnell and Louise DuArt remind you that Godwinks are like wondrous gifts left on your doorstep. Their aim with this book is to help you open the door and open your gifts of hope and encouragement. http://godwinks.com>
