The Battle Within

Major Hugh Dégaré never thought working a desk job could be worse than combat. But shortly after starting a new position in a bureaucratic military headquarters far from the front lines, he finds himself fighting to maintain his grip on reality.

Afraid of being stigmatized by his chain of command, he turns to a psychologist and an estranged friend, Daryl, now an ex-soldier. Despite his best efforts, Hugh’s rage continues to grow. When his support network starts to fall apart with no end to his symptoms in sight, Hugh finally turns to a questionable military medical system, desperate to do anything to save his career, marriage, and life itself. His last hope is that the system supposedly designed to help him doesn’t put the final nail into his coffin instead.

For too many believers, God's wonderful creation of sex has become a source of spiritual slavery rather than a liberating blessing. Neil T.

In a culture that tells men to suppress instead of express, join bestselling author, speaker, and leader Jason Wilson (featured in the award-winning ESPN documentary The Cave of Adullam) as he calls us to unlearn society's definition of masculinity and discover the power of engaging with our emotions. For decades, Jason was losing the war within--the internal battle that many men wage on a daily basis. He struggled to combat his toxic thoughts and emotions, communicating without composure, and ultimately hurting himself and his loved ones. When Jason began to release years of unresolved trauma, he learned how to acknowledge his emotions and express them in a healthy way. He discovered that he was strengthened by transparency and vulnerability, which taught him to forgive, trust, and love without limitations. Soon, Jason's newfound practices began to heal his relationships and transform his life. Throughout his journey of opening up, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader--and you can, too. Supported by Biblical teachings, the lessons that Jason shares in Battle Cry teach us that we can all be empowered to break through what we've been through. Jason calls us to become better versions of ourselves, equipping us with the mental and spiritual weapons needed to redefine modern masculinity and showing us how to: embrace our emotions rather than be ruled by them win internal battles before they become external wars break free from misconstrued masculinity and embrace our humanity communicate more effectively with the people in our lives heal trauma from our past in order to live our fullest lives in the present Battle Cry proves that it's possible to live beyond the limitations of your mind and finally experience the full life you've always longed for. What are you waiting for? It's time to win the war within.

The worst battle youll ever have to fight is the one between what you know and what you feel. Emotionally, we are drained. Mentally, we are worn. Spiritually, we are dead. But physically, we smile. Why? This is our masquerade. Perhaps we do it consciouslybut more likely, we do it subconsciously. Perhaps its a means of escaping the battle or a way to pretend it isnt true. Or perhaps its to protect us until we can feel what we know. The Bible tells us in James 4:7 to resist the devil and he will flee from you. But it doesnt tell us how long it will take or how hard it will be. Author Samantha Barrett personifies this spiritual battle in the life of a career-driven middle-aged mother of three, who is struggling with thoughts of suicide and depression. The main character, Charissa, recognizes that the ultimate source of her depression is the devil but frantically reaches out for help as she feels herself sinking lower and lower, all the while masquerading in outward success. Can she fight the battle? Will she win the war?
