On the eve of his medical retirement, Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson receives a frantic call from his estranged childhood best friend David Yarnell. David’s daughter has been kidnapped off the streets of Nashville in broad daylight. The police have no suspects and no leads. The only clue: the body of a dead priest left behind at the scene.

Nach einem Terroranschlag gerät das Leben von John Dempsey, Mitglied der Navy-SEAL-Eliteeinheit Tier One, völlig aus den Fugen. Aus der Welt strikter Hierarchien und klarer Anweisungen verschlägt es ihn in das dubiose Reich der Spionage und geheimen Einsätze. Seine Mission ist klar und simpel: Er soll die Verantwortlichen für die größte Tragödie in der Geschichte der U.S. Special Operation jagen und vor Gericht bringen. Und es ist egal, wo auf der Welt sie sich verkriechen.

But when she steps in to stop a kidnapping that echoes her own haunted past, she paints a target on her back. The crime syndicate behind the attack sends enforcers to settle the score. When Mia returns home to find her barn burning and her horses slaughtered, she fights back with the fury of someone who’s got nothing left to lose.

Mack Holland might as well have the word “former” tattooed across his chest. He’s a former Green Beret. A former CIA Ground Branch Team Leader. A former husband. A former father. At least his dog, Blue, still appreciates him. But when a black SUV with government plates crunches down the gravel driveway of his remote backwoods home, Mack’s quiet, post-operator life is shattered. The G-man who steps out brings news Mack never expected to hear: his daughter Lindsey, officially dead and buried for five years, is alive. And she’s being held hostage in Syria.

Life is messy. God is faithful. We’re three ordinary guys trying to follow Jesus in the middle of work, marriage, kids, struggles, and everything real life throws at us. No polish, no pretending — just honest conversations about being husbands, fathers, and disciples who get it wrong plenty but keep chasing Christ anyway. We dig into theology, culture, and whatever topics God puts in front of us, sharing our experiences, our failures, and what we’re learning along the way. We’re not chasing fame — just hoping our conversations help someone else walk a little closer with Jesus.

Kurz vor seiner Pensionierung erhält Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson einen verzweifelten Anruf. Die Tochter seines Freundes David wurde gekidnappt. Außer der Leiche eines Priesters, die am Tatort zurückgelassen wurde, gibt es keine Spuren. Natürlich will Jed helfen. Doch schon kurz nach seiner Ankunft wird ein Mordanschlag auf ihn verübt. Und dann erwachen sie wieder: die Stimmen in seinem Kopf, die seltsamen Visionen, die Albträume. Er hatte geglaubt, all das hinter sich gelassen zu haben, als er mit 18 Jahren in die Navy floh.

John Dempsey und sein Ember-Team müssen den islamischen Extremisten Al-Mahadscher aufspüren. Der Terrorist will dem Großen Satan (den Amerikanern) durch eine Serie von hinterhältigen Anschlägen zeigen, dass man in diesem Land nirgendwo mehr sicher ist. Von den Wüsten des Iraks über den Dschungel Guatemalas bis in die US-Vorstädte kämpft das Team gegen die Zeit. Doch für John geht es um mehr als die Rettung von Menschenleben: In einer der bedrohten Städte leben seine Frau und sein Sohn.

In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California—an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this trip onto the private story of Emerson's final years. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.
