Carter Simons has been studying karate for nearly five years when a new breed of domestic terrorism becomes epidemic. As Carter pursues his next karate belt, he learns two life-changing facts: his sensei is developing an anti-terrorism program called The Crosshairs, and Carter stands at the forefront. 

From fire department to first aid to S.W.A.T. team training, Carter soon realizes the impossible odds: How can an unarmed thirteen-year-old defeat a Kubukai terrorist? Yet as the school bell rings on Carter's belt test day, he confronts an even deeper challenge, the core of his intense motivation in karate, a secret kept hidden for years. In every way imaginable, Carter is in The Crosshairs.

(Carter in the Crosshairs is not an overtly Christian book.  It highlights the values of hard work, compassion, teamwork, and self-sacrifice.  It is the first book of an intended series in which the main character comes to faith in Christ.)

It Takes Grit to Carry a Cross

The Narrow Path is a transformative journey. We must forego ourselves, obey Christ, and invest in His Kingdom. As spiritual outlaws, this is foreign and painful; it is the ongoing death of our rebellious nature. As the spiritually adopted, this is complete renewal; it is life, freedom, and breathtaking hope. Thus, Christianity is an all-in faith—both a living baptism and homeward pilgrimage. 

In The Lowering Sky, we explore deep challenges of the Christian way: purpose, temptation, self-doubt, and submission. Through true-to-life stories and related devotionals, we discuss our Biblical trail map. And all throughout, we look to our martyred Savior, who showed why He alone deserves all glory.
