Praise for "Grace Under Fire" "Andrew Carroll has done a wonderful job bringing together letters from different individuals and different time periods, linked together by one common thread: a strong belief that God is in control, regardless of the outcome." Grace Under Fire" brings the importance of faith on the battlefield front and center and is an inspiring reminder that none of us is alone, even in the most dire of circumstances." - Sara Horn, author of "A Greater Freedom: Stories of Faith from Operation Iraqi Freedom" and publisher of AGreaterFreedom.com. "Personal letters from troops on the front lines are among the most honest and intimate expressions of the human heart. Through Andrew Carroll's passion for preserving these letters we see history unfolding, heroes struggling with irresolvable dilemmas, and glimpses of God in the face of death. Anyone living with difficult circumstances will find in these letters the strength and grace to persevere. You may discover, as I have, that "Grace Under Fire" is one of the most inspirational books available today." --Frank Selden, author of "Finding Faith in the Fury" Praise for "War Letters" "Andrew Carroll has given America a priceless treasure.

Ambrose Praise for "Behind the Lines" "ÝA¨ stirring, moving, and sometimes hilarious collection." --Mark Bowden, author of "Black Hawk Down" ""Behind the Lines" is the result of Andrew Carroll's unprecedented trip around the world to seekout these gripping, insightful, and, in so many cases, breathtaking letters.

Synopsis
Words of wisdom, hope, humor, and strength from those who have been tested by fire and maintained their faith. The first book of its kind, "Grace Under Fire" is an inspiring and spiritual collection of letters and e-mails by U.S. troops and their families from the American Revolution through the War on Terrorism. Andrew Carroll, editor of the bestselling "War Letters," went through his massive archive of seventy-five-thousand previously unpublished wartime correspondence to pick out the most intimate, dramatic, historic, and insightful letters and e-mails ever written about God, religion, and spirituality. The fifty best of these are featured in this incredible book, and they emphasize how extremely important faith has been, and continues to be, in the lives of U.S. troops and their families. What is especially remarkable about "Grace Under Fire" is the sheer diversity of the collection, which includes several extraordinary letters by two brothers who fought on opposing sides of the Civil War; a prophetic letter by Rabbi David Goode, one of the famed Immortal Chaplains who gave his life for his fellow soldiers; a lighthearted letter by a World War II nurse who met the Pope; and a profound and impassioned reply to the timeless question, " Where is God in wartime?" by a doctor serving in Iraq. Warfare can reveal the worst in human nature, but it can also bring out the best, and these correspondences are a testament to the heroism, compassion, grace, intelligence, and inherent goodness of American troops and their families. And although the letters and e-mails featured in this book were written in times of armed conflict, they transcend the subject of war. Theyare about determination, hope, patriotism, fighting for something greater than one' s self, and, of course, the enduring value of faith. Regardless of whether we have served in the military or not, we can all find inspiration and courage in these powerful and insightful words., Words of wisdom, hope, humor, and strength from those who have been tested by fire and maintained their faith.
