Copperhead

"For twenty-seven years of war and peace, Joe R. Garner served his country - twenty-one of those years on continuous active duty as a Special Forces soldier, the heart and soul of the Armed Forces. From Panama to Vietnam, from behind-the-lines missions in Laos to a secret strike force mounted against Cuba during the missile crisis, Garner answered the call of duty around the globe for the U.S.A., and Code Name: Copperhead details his involvement in over two decades of overt and covert operations." "Growing up in rural Tennessee, Joe Garner hunted in the woods for food. Two decades later he would be right at home in the jungles of Vietnam. Garner served in Southeast Asia as part of the MACVSOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, Studies and Observation Group), the most highly classified military operation of the war. He secretly armed and trained the Royal Laotian Army against the North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao in 1961 under the command of the legendary Colonel "Bull" Simons. In Vietnam, he took North Vietnamese Army prisoners and reinserted them behind the front, where they would operate as double agents. He then led top-secret missions behind enemy lines as part of the STRATA (Short Term Reconnaissance and Target Acquisition) operations, which included the daring rescue of a Marine company stranded on a hill near the Laos Vietnam border during an eleven-day mission." "Code Name: Copperhead details Garner's experiences - from free-falling with a nuclear device strapped to his back to training Special Forces soldiers to survive interrogation. However, Code Name: Copperhead is more than an account of undercover operations around the globe. It is the story of a soldier who served his country with honor and distinction."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

A Nick Stone Mission

"The best suspense writer to put pen to paper since Alistair MacLean" (Stephen Coonts) follows up the international bestselling Firewall with the most gripping and timely Nick Stone mission yet. LAST LIGHT Top-secret operative Nick Stone has just aborted an officially sanctioned assassination attempt at the Houses of Parliament. Once he saw who his intended target was, he instinctively pulled out. Now Stone is in a world of trouble. His bosses have handed him a chilling ultimatum: fly to Panama and finish the job he just botched, or Kelly, the young orphan in his guardianship, will be killed. Deep in the sweltering jungle of Central America on an assignment that makes little sense to him, Stone quickly finds himself up to his neck in high-stakes action as he closes in on the key players in a lethal conspiracy involving Colombian guerrillas, the U.S. government, and Chinese big business. Only Stone can stop an international crisis and salvage Western interests, but first there is a critically injured friend to rescue, as well as miles of dense rainforest to navigate. In the explosive finale at the Panama Canal, with countless innocent lives hanging in the balance, Stone is forced to make the toughest decision of his life. Drawing on his experiences as a member of Britain's legendary Special Air Service, world-renowned thriller writer Andy McNab "delivers authenticity in spades" (Publishers Weekly). "McNab's greatest asset," according to London's Sunday Times, "is that the heart of his fiction is not fiction: other thriller writers do their research, but he has actually been there."

Trouble's easy to find . . . if you know where to look for it. My mother thinks I'm a delicate Southern flower. But believe me, Lexie Chandler's not someone to take lightly! I'm a gemologist, a karate black belt, and can accurately fire any gun out there. Plus, I won't back down . . . ever! And right now, my sights are set on the Heart of Burma, a magnificent, blood-red ruby that's currently in the hands of a rebel gunrunner holed up in the tiger-infested Burmese jungle. I hate to admit it, but I can't do this one alone. Luckily, nails-tough American expatriate Cole Bannon is willing to partner up. But this guy's so drop-dead gorgeous and blisteringly hot, how am I going to keep my mind on the mission at hand -- especially since we'll be facing a small army, and maybe even a hungry jungle predator or two? Besides, who knows what Cole's true agenda is . . . or if the survival of Lexie Chandler is part of it.

One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal

An astonishing testament to true courage, the transformative power of love, and the ability of one man to make a real difference. In search of adventure, twenty-nine-year-old Conor Grennan embarked on a yearlong journey around the globe, beginning with a three-month stint volunteering at an orphanage in civil war–torn Nepal. But a shocking truth would forever change his life: these rambunctious, resilient children were not orphans at all but had been taken from their families by child traffickers who falsely promised to keep them safe from war before abandoning them in the teeming chaos of Kathmandu. For Conor, what started as a footloose ramble became a dangerous, dedicated mission to unite youngsters he had grown to love with the parents they had been stolen from—a breathtaking adventure, as Conor risked everything in the treacherous Nepalese mountains to bring the children home.

Renewing Episcopal Identity

By exploring the Episcopal Church's mission and precepts in the context of 21st century and its challenges, this thoughtful book deepens the Church's relationship with its people and makes the faith more relevant.

Society and culture are constantly evolving so must religion and its mission to remain meaningful. The legacies of establishment, benefactor approaches to mission, and the 'national church' ideal are no longer adequate for the challenges and opportunities facing the 21st century church. But if the Episcopal Church is no longer the Church of the Establishment and the benefactor model of church is dead, what is the heart of Episcopal mission and identity?

Scholar and Episcopal priest Dwight Zscheile draws on multiple streams of Anglican thought and practice, plus contemporary experience to craft a vision for mission that addresses the church's post-establishment, post-colonial context. With stories, practices and concrete illustrations, Zscheile engages readers in re-envisioning what it means to be Anglican in America today and sends readers out to build new relationships within their local contexts.

Reflections from Alma Hunt

With danger on every side, would she live to fulfill her destiny? "I'm going to see Jesus now," the little girl whispered, "and I want to show Him that I suffered for Him, too." Moments later, she was in God's arms... This image, and countless like it, resonated in the heart and soul of Christina Davis as she shared and lived out the gospel in a remote, danger-filled jungle of the Philippines. Her three-month mission trip grew into a six-year labor of love. Surrounded by threats from militant rebels, witch doctors, and the hostile jungle, Christina used any opening to proclaim the one true God who had freed her from the prison of her own pain and fear. Christina's incredible story is a captivating adventure of how one woman's determination to answer God's call forever changed her own life and altered the destiny of a people enveloped in a web of fear, darkness, and oppression.

A Novel

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella returns with another laugh-out-loud Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) adventure: a hilarious road trip through the American West to Las Vegas. Becky is on a major rescue mission through the American West to Las Vegas! Her father has vanished from Los Angeles on a mysterious quest with the husband of Becky’s best friend, Suze. Becky’s mum is hysterical; Suze is flat-out desperate. Worse, Becky must tolerate an enemy along for the ride, who she’s convinced is up to no good. Determined to get to the bottom of why her dad has disappeared, help Suze, contain the dreaded Alicia, and reunite her fractured family, Becky knows that she must marshal all her trademark ingenuity. The result: her most outrageous and daring plan yet! But just when her family needs her more than ever, can Becky pull it off? Praise for Shopaholic to the Rescue “Full of gags, sparkling dialogue and beautifully drawn characters . . . It’s a real treat to be reunited with the eminently loveable, incredibly ditzy and fiercely loyal Shopaholic protagonist Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood).”—Daily Mail “Will Bex and best friend Suze ever make up? Will Becky’s old nemesis, banker Derek Smeath, finish his memoir? Why can’t our beloved Shopaholic seem to spend any money, even on a $2.50 pencil? . . .
