    Paperback. Condition: Good. What happens when your Christian experience seems superficial?You know you're meant to love your neighbor as yourself and offer mercy to those who doubt, but everything you've seen revolves around judgement or God as an angry sky wizard. How can you learn to embrace the love of God and your neighbor when Christian culture has strayed so far? Join Ryan Kirby, the lead vocalist of metalcore band Fit For A King, as he shares never before heard stories inside the music industry and how he learned to embrace God and those around him. Ryan invites you into his journey of doubt, faith, failure, and victory to help you: Shirk the messages of condemnation and see God as a loving fatherHear authentic stories of struggle and scriptural application to seize control over the voices of self-doubtLearn to love others and avoid the culture wars by examining your shortcomings Shift your perspective about how you view life, money, relationships, and purpose through a more intimate relationship with GodDon't waste another day missing out the joy and peace God promises. Let Ryan show you how to capture the embrace. ---This book is part of the outreach programs of HeartSupport-an organization created by Grammy-nominated musician Jake Luhrs of the metal band August Burns Red. Proceeds from this book will continue to help fund further projects by HeartSupport in the realm of recovery.…

    Paperback. Condition: Fair. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "Of all the books about the ground war in the Pacific, [this] is the closest to a masterpiece."--The New York Review of Books "Eugene Sledge became more than a legend with his memoir, With the Old Breed. He became a chronicler, a historian, a storyteller who turns the extremes of the war in the Pacific--the terror, the camaraderie, the banal and the extraordinary--into terms we mortals can grasp."--Tom Hanks In The Wall Street Journal, Victor Davis Hanson named With the Old Breed one of the top five books on epic twentieth-century battles after its original publication in 1981. Studs Terkel interviewed the author for his definitive oral history, The Good War. Now E. B. Sledge's acclaimed first-person account of fighting at Peleliu and Okinawa returns to thrill, edify, and inspire a new generation. An Alabama boy steeped in American history and enamored of such heroes as George Washington and Daniel Boone, Eugene B. Sledge became part of the war's famous 1st Marine Division--3rd Battalion, 5th Marines. Even after intense training, he was shocked to be thrown into the battle of Peleliu, where "the world was a nightmare of flashes, explosions, and snapping bullets." By the time Sledge hit the hell of Okinawa, he was a combat vet, still filled with fear but no longer with panic. Based on notes Sledge secretly kept in a copy of the New Testament, With the Old Breed captures with utter simplicity and searing honesty the experience of a soldier in the fierce Pacific Theater. Here is what saved, threatened, and changed his life. Here, too, is the story of how he learned to hate and kill--and came to love--his fellow man. "In all the literature on the Second World War, there is not a more honest, realistic or moving memoir than Eugene Sledge's. This is the real deal, the real war: unvarnished, brutal, without a shred of sentimentality or false patriotism, a profound primer on what it actually was like to be in that war. It is a classic that will outlive all the armchair generals' safe accounts of--not the 'good war'--but the worst war ever."--Ken Burns.…

He became a chronicler, a historian, a storyteller who turns the extremes of the war in the Pacific--the terror, the camaraderie, the banal and the extraordinary--into terms we mortals can grasp."--Tom Hanks In The Wall Street Journal, Victor Davis Hanson named With the Old Breed one of the top five books on epic twentieth-century battles after its original publication in 1981. Studs Terkel interviewed the author for his definitive oral history, The Good War. Now E. B. Sledge's acclaimed first-person account of fighting at Peleliu and Okinawa returns to thrill, edify, and inspire a new generation. An Alabama boy steeped in American history and enamored of such heroes as George Washington and Daniel Boone, Eugene B. Sledge became part of the war's famous 1st Marine Division--3rd Battalion, 5th Marines. Even after intense training, he was shocked to be thrown into the battle of Peleliu, where "the world was a nightmare of flashes, explosions, and snapping bullets." By the time Sledge hit the hell of Okinawa, he was a combat vet, still filled with fear but no longer with panic. Based on notes Sledge secretly kept in a copy of the New Testament, With the Old Breed captures with utter simplicity and searing honesty the experience of a soldier in the fierce Pacific Theater. Here is what saved, threatened, and changed his life. Here, too, is the story of how he learned to hate and kill--and came to love--his fellow man. "In all the literature on the Second World War, there is not a more honest, realistic or moving memoir than Eugene Sledge's. This is the real deal, the real war: unvarnished, brutal, without a shred of sentimentality or false patriotism, a profound primer on what it actually was like to be in that war. It is a classic that will outlive all the armchair generals' safe accounts of--not the 'good war'--but the worst war ever."--Ken Burns.…

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "Of all the books about the ground war in the Pacific, [this] is the closest to a masterpiece."--The New York Review of Books "Eugene Sledge became more than a legend with his memoir, With the Old Breed.
