As the editor of a publishing company, I'm a reader. When faced with life's biggest dilemmas, I turn first to God and then to books. I own multiple books addressing marriage, parenting, finances, leadership, Christianity, writing, and of course, the military.

If you or a family member is part of the armed services, you, too, may be seeking printed information to inspire you, encourage you and help you through the challenges the military offers. These are books that I have found to be especially helpful during my time as an Army wife, and especially during deployment.
