GOD Strong: A Military Wife's Spiritual Survival Guide

GOD Strong: A Military Wife’s Spiritual Survival Guide

From book description: Currently, more than one million military wives care for their families and their homes, often while their husbands are deployed out of state or overseas for months at a time. These women can experience a roller coaster of emotions including disappointment, loneliness, and fear. Sara Horn, the wife of a navy reservist, understands the challenges these women face. She knows how to talk about faith and spiritual truths through the filter of military life. In her encouraging book, Horn shares her personal stories, as well as wisdom and anecdotes of other wives from all branches of service. She reminds readers that: • God is in control. • You can have joy, no matter what. • Superwomen get grace, too. • God knows where you hurt. Horn’s reliance on Scripture and confidence in God’s comfort during difficult times will remind military wives they don’t have to be an army of one when they are God Strong.

This book will release in February 2010. Visit Zondervan’s web site for more information.

The Busy Book: 99 Ways to Stay Busy During Deployment (An E-book)

Military spouses who are going through deployments sometimes struggle to find time for themselves. They’re busy, but they often feel like they’re spinning their wheels more than they are getting a whole lot done. When this happens, setting goals and planning one or two special projects can change a spouse’s perspective for the better. The Busy Book offers 99 different ways a military spouse can stay busy during a deployment. Ideas are found in one of four areas: physical, mental, social and spiritual. A special feature includes the web links that come with many of the 99 ways, leading you to more information about a specific idea, and a checklist can be printed out for you to keep record of the different activities you’ve already tried.

A Greater Freedom: Stories of Faith from Operation Iraqi Freedom

Stories of faith and freedom in the midst of war—these are the stories not seen or heard in mainstream media—uncovered by Sara Horn during two trips to the Middle East at the beginning of the Iraq War. Edited by best-selling author Oliver North, this book brings you stories of the heart – the F-18 pilot who prays every time he launches off an aircraft carrier, the young soldier who finds himself in a fire fight and credits God with pulling him out, the chaplain who, with his men, witnesses God’s mighty power to protect, the Iraqi Christian pastor who leads his church without fear.

Please note that this book is now out of print but can still be found at various online retailers.
