I am so excited to have a shipment of Russell
Stendal's new book, Rescue
the Captors 2. Those of you who have already read Rescue the Captors
will want this immediately because you know what to expect. As for the
rest of you, this is nonstop, edge-of-your-seat adventure as the
Stendal family walks through one danger after another in a
miracle-filled quest to bring the gospel and reconciliation into the
middle of a three-way civil war. The US State Department lists Colombia
as one of the most dangerous destinations in the world. The Stendals
are right in the middle of it. This is the kind of Christianity we
daydreamed about when we were kids. You can order a copy for $6 plus $5
shipping ($11 total), but why just get one? 
Order a pair for $10 plus $5 shipping ($15
total) so you can give a copy away. Better yet, order a box of ten for
$39 plus $7 shipping ($46 total). Slightly smaller than most
paperbacks (It's approximately 4"x7"), but 255 pages, a good read. Order below.
Amazing
Faith
By Dwight A. Clough and Dr. Thomas A. Shaw
“We have a place for American spies!” The KGB officer in charge of my interrogation said I was a spy. Oh no, I thought. They’re offering me an all-expense-paid trip to Siberia. Things were not going well. The Soviets had our vehicle. They were interrogating my partner, Roger, in another room. It was just a matter of time before they would discover the Bibles and the printing press we had smuggled into the heart of the communist empire. It was 1961. The Cold War was in full swing. My dream of taking the gospel into closed countries -- not to mention my life -- could come to a very quick end. What to do?
God has His ways of getting our attention. When George Verwer was arrested by the KGB, he had no idea that God was about to turn his ministry upside down and change the face of modern missions. Fasten your seat belts for this story and many others like it.
Amazing Faith has been called "...the best Christian biographical read I've had in a long time. The stories are fresh and engaging. I couldn't read just one! I found myself so encouraged by one story I went on to the next one, and the next one, and the next one . . ." (Dr. William E. Brown, President, Bryan College)
In her Foreword, Joni Eareckson Tada writes: "This is a book of stories about people of faith. These stories penetrate deep into the heart and soul of humanity, yet convey the character and attributes of God. And as I’ve learned through the years, when God is involved, nothing is ordinary. In this book you’ll discover evidence of the extraordinary work of God ... when gloom turned into hope; failure gave way to stunning success; miraculous provision arrived; a medical sentence of death was overturned; and a powerful new life ensued. That’s what makes faith so amazing to us. It’s really not about us, but God yearning for us to know Him, and to glorify Him with our lives. The frailty of humanity energized by God’s transforming power."

A
Minnesota Mom in the Land of the Ancient Mother (Volume
I) by Pat Stendal
Most American boys Chaddy's age would be playing Little League. But Pat Stendal's son was stranded in a tribal village where the locals were known to poison outsiders. And, with the airplane out of commission, for three days there was no way to reach him. This first volume of Minnesota Mom introduces us to a series of "co-incidences" and miracles, starting in the 1800s, that paved the way for God to take an ordinary American family, move them 2300 miles into the mountains of South America, and use them to show His love to a hurting and needy people. For 40 years the Stendals have lived with almost constant danger. But that danger has had a purpose, God was setting the stage to change the face of an entire nation. I recommend anything the Stendals have written, and Minnesota Mom is no exception. From Malaria to childbirth, from romance to heartbreak, here is a story that will change the way you view our world. Paperback 113 pages. Order below.
