231 DAYS: A MIRACULOUS TRUE STORY OF FAITH IN THE FACE OF TERROR
A Riveting Tale of Courage and Divine Intervention by James Martin
Some stories are hard to believe, but they can be deeply inspirational, reminding us of the boundless power of God and the triumph of faith in the most harrowing battles of life. In his captivating new book, "231 DAYS," author James Martin narrates the extraordinary journey of Christian missionaries Herb and Linda Gregg, a tale of faith in action, survival, and miracles.
Set in the neighboring republics of Dagestan and Chechnya in the North Caucasus, just south of Russia, "231 DAYS" unveils the gripping account of Herb and Linda Gregg's life-changing decision to serve as missionaries in a region ravaged by poverty, corruption, and violence. Their unwavering commitment to their Christian calling led them to Makhachkala, Dagestan's capital, where they aimed to spread God's love and establish a Christ-centered church among a diverse population.
The story takes a dark turn when Herb Gregg becomes the target of a Chechen kidnapping gang, hired by powerful warlords seeking ransom money to fund their militant activities. Abducted and facing daily threats to his life, Herb endures months of brutal captivity in Chechnya. The kidnappers demand a hefty ransom for his release, making Linda's faith, resilience, and unwavering support crucial factors in his survival.
Author James Martin masterfully weaves the historical and political context of the region into the Greggs' remarkable story. As the Second Chechen War unfolds and Wahhabism spreads, Herb's abduction becomes a testament to the resilience of faith against radical ideologies and the power of prayer in the darkest hours.
"This book is a true testament to the triumph of faith over adversity," says James Martin. "Herb and Linda Gregg's incredible journey serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us that even in the face of terror and uncertainty, God's omnipresent power and protection know no bounds."

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

Rachel Reviews: Paradise Cove - They Escaped the Cuckoo's Nest by Pini Dunner
On starting Pini Dunner's book, I was grateful for the thorough history that is provided at the start. This gives a much-needed context in order to enjoy the subsequent letters contained therein. The letters belong to George Nagel, an octagenarian pursuing a psychology degree which in itself would be remarkable; however, it is soon clear that this is just one remarkable thing in a life full of them.
