"This is the definitive account of the Biden administration's most disgraceful hour -- and the chaos it unleashed in the world. The United States' hasty retreat from Afghanistan in 2021 was nothing short of a horror show. Women and children were trampled to death outside the gates of the Kabul airfield. Desperate Afghans clung to the landing gear of departing planes. American civilians and Afghan interpreters were abandoned to the mercy of the Taliban. And 13 U.S. service members were murdered in an ISIS suicide bombing that easily could have been prevented. Two fearless and respected journalists -- the Washington Examiner's Jerry Dunleavy and former U.S. Army Captain James Hasson (Bronze Star, Afghanistan) -- have teamed up to write the hard-hitting book no one else has. Kabul is packed with shocking and infuriating exclusive details about fatal politics and bureaucracy that contributed to the catastrophe. The authors also tell, for the first time, inspiring stories of the bravery and courage exhibited by countless Americans on the ground. Kabul's original reporting includes eyewitness accounts from military leaders who were present at Bagram Air Field when the Biden administration ordered U.S. forces to abandon it. The authors also interview officers, enlisted soldiers, and Marines who participated in the chaotic evacuation of Hamid Karzai International Airport from start to finish. Ultimately, this book is about how the Biden administration's Afghanistan retreat was the start of a far more unpredictable and perilous world and must not be viewed in isolation. While Americans watched the fall of Afghanistan with disbelief, our nation's enemies were also paying close attention"--
"Create space for your children to get to know God in a way that focuses on trust instead of a list of rigid rules. Most Christian parenting books are ready with exact practices every family should follow in order to raise obedient children. In this obedience-training model, faith is a wall, constructed brick by brick, as adults tell children what to believe and how to behave. But what if obedience is not the goal of Christian parenting? What if it's our job as parents to instead help our kids get to know God and discover that God can be trusted? And what if faith is not constructed brick by brick, but rather woven strand by strand? Much like a spider's web, in which anchor strands and internal threads combine to form a unique web, Woven can help children anchor to who God is and have faith practices that are rich, textured, and all their own. Kids need space to explore the Bible, ask big questions, and even change their understanding of God and faith along the way. With Woven, families can nurture the kind of faith that can flex and grow, be broken and repaired. This is the sort of faith that can stand up to the life a child will live, the doubts they will encounter, and the questions that will come up along the way."--
"The trials of life can wear us down. Unexpected events force us to face a new reality and unanswered prayers lead us to a growing frustration about why God doesn't intervene.

Grace discovered there is value and unseen gifts in each season, but only in the hard seasons and storms of life are vital spiritual disciplines developed.
