"The book that America needs right now." --Tom Brokaw, journalist and author of The Greatest Generation "Jake Wood offers one of the most soaring definitions of service I've ever seen." --Maria Shriver, award-winning journalist and author of I've Been Thinking From Marine sniper Jake Wood, a riveting memoir of leading over 100,000 veterans to a life of renewed service, volunteering to battle, hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, pandemics, and civil wars, and inspiring onlookers as their unique military training saved lives and rebuilt our country. When Jake Wood arrived in the States after two grueling tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he watched his unit lose more men to suicide than to enemy hands overseas. Reeling, Jake looked for a way to direct their restlessness towards a new mission--and put their formidable skills to good use. When an earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, Jake had his answer. He convinced several fellow veterans to join him on a ragtag mission to provide desperately needed aid. Despite the high stakes, they were able to untangle complex problems quickly and keep calm under pressure. In this raw, adrenaline-filled narrative, Jake recounts, how, over the past 10 years, he's built the disaster response organization Team Rubicon, and seen the work provide a lifeline back to purpose for the heroes among us. Not only do these intrepid volunteers race against the clock to aid communities after Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Harvey, COVID-19, and hundreds of other disasters; they also fight for something just as important--each other. Once a Warrior provides a soaring look at what our veterans are capable of--and what might become of America's next greatest generation.

"God's Image in Man" is a book written by Henry Wood that explores the concept of the divine image in humanity. The book discusses the idea that every person is created in the image of God and that this image is reflected in their unique qualities and characteristics. Wood argues that by understanding and embracing this divine image, individuals can experience a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives and can fulfill their potential as human beings. The book also addresses the concept of the "fall," or the idea that humanity has fallen from its original state of grace and is in need of redemption. Wood discusses the role that Christ plays in the redemption of humanity and the ways in which individuals can experience this redemption in their own lives. "God's Image in Man" was first published in 1899 and has since become an important resource for those seeking to understand the concept of the divine image in humanity and the role it plays in the Christian faith.
