Danger lurks in the wilderness of the Rockies. After a dinner-party
clash between entrenched oil interests and liberal Hollywood
insiders, only Michael and Tyrone, the two children at the
disastrous event, remain friends. But soon one dinner guest dinner
guest is dead and two more are missing in the Alberta wilds. As Jan
Brenner comforts the newly-bereaved Michael, Lacey McCrae
infiltrates the Caine oil dynasty to learn which of Tyrone's older
half-brothers and their scheming mothers most want him gone. With
the search for the missing heading into its third night, Lacey
uncovers a massive hole in the Caine ranch's security network as
well as evidence of previous attacks on Tyrone. Then Jan discovers
a long-buried connection between the two families that threatens
Michael, too. As thunderstorms roll over the vast limestone cliffs
of the Ghost Wilderness, danger stalks Michael, Tyrone, and the
women who struggle to keep them safe.
Spiritual fitness for Christians whose growth has stagnated Many of
us feel like our spiritual growth has stalled. Our routines have
hardened into ruts. Around us, we see other Christians with the
same struggles and we start to think that treading water is the
basic rhythm of the Christian life. Often the problem of stagnating
faith is down to one simple fact - we all have a bias towards ease.
Our spiritual routines involve passively reading our Bibles, not
lingering long enough to comprehend or retain what was read, and a
few distracted minutes spent in prayer. This book of spiritual
workouts is meant to push complacent souls back out into the space
of exertion and discovery. It will engage and sharpen the faculties
of the mind - memory, imagination, intellect, conscience and will.
Each workout, thematically grouped, features a hymn, richly steeped
in scripture. There is a Bible passage to read, a list of the
scripture references made in the hymn, and three reflection
questions to meditate on. The 100 exercises are grouped into these
themes: The Holiness of God The Mystery of the Gospel Incarnation
and Life Death Resurrection and Ascension Final Judgement and New
Creation Spiritual Fellowship The Father The Son The Holy Spirit
The Church Spiritual Transformation Inward Motivation Mature
Character Spiritual Disciplines Bible Reading Prayer Repentance and
Mortification Practicing the Presence of God Whole-Life
Discipleship Spiritual Trials Suffering and Affliction Temptation
and Spiritual Warfare Facing Death
Christian men today are unprepared for the reality and scope of
spiritual warfare they face. Some go about their lives naively
ignoring the power that spiritual forces like sin and Satan have in
their lives. Joe Barnard has written a book to help men not only
wake up to the existence of sin in their lives, but, in the power
of the Holy Spirit, to tackle it head on. This may seem like a
daunting task. Although few would admit it publicly, privately many
share the deep anxiety that the resources of the gospel are
inadequate to deal with - not the guilt of sin - but the power of
sin. Sin may look like an insurmountable problem when measured by
the stature of a fallen man, but to God, sin is no more than a weed
planted in sand. This book is for men who are willing to fight and
it will arm them for the task at hand. Chapter headings Orientation

A lot of Christian men - and small groups of men - feel stuck. They
have a sincere desire to grow but feel confused about what to do
next. The Way Forward is a road-map for men who want to cut through
the noise and distraction of the 21st century and take definite
steps toward spiritual maturity. This book follows the simple
format of problem, solution, and plan. Men who read it will walk
away with both a clear diagnosis for why they feel stuck and a
practical action plan for moving forward.
