  When Theresa Marie discovered indiscretions on her husband’s phone, she was shocked. They were Christian co-ministers. They were foster parents. They were a good Christian family. What was he thinking!? 
  Over the next several years, she would uncover just how deeply the betrayal ran, and watch the unraveling of a lifetime of commitment and partnership as she faced gaslighting and abusive behaviors from the man she once knew. 
  In her debut book, Theresa Marie shares her personal testimony from an excruciating season in her life. In A Million Pieces, she is transparent about her initial responses to betrayal and trauma, the cycle of harm she willingly went on while hoping for restoration, and coming to the place of truly relying on God’s strength in her most vulnerable place. 
  Theresa exposes an epidemic in our society that has infiltrated the church, and the residual effects of pornography on marriages, families, and ministerial relationships. You will see there is victory in choosing forgiveness in order to allow healing to come. May you be encouraged to forgive and heal.

  The Phantom Major - The Story of...

  Virginia Cowles

  An action-packed biography of “one of the legitimate storybook heroes of World War II” and the special forces regiment he founded (The New York Times).   In the dark and uncertain days of 1941 and 1942, when Rommel’s Afrika Korps was sweeping toward Egypt and the Suez Canal, a small group of daring raiders made history for the Allies. They operated deep behind German lines, driving hundreds of miles through the deserts of North Africa. They hid by day and struck by night, destroying aircraft, blowing up ammunition dumps, derailing trains, and killing many times their own number. These men were the Special Air Service.   The SAS was the brainchild of David Stirling, a deceptively mild-mannered man with a brilliant idea. Under his command, small teams of resourceful, highly trained men penetrated beyond the front lines of the opposing armies and wreaked havoc where the Germans least expected it. From Virginia Cowles, whose biographies have been praised as “splendidly readable” (Sunday Times) and “fascinating” (Kirkus Reviews), this is a classic account of these raids, an amazing tale of courage, impudence, and daring packed with action and high adventure. Her narrative, based on the eyewitness testimony of the men who took part, gives a compelling insight into the early years of the SAS.
