"When the Third Reich collapsed, the small town Garmisch-Partenkirchen became the home of fleeing war criminals, making it the final depository for the Nazis' stolen riches. There are fortunes to be made on the black market. Murder, extortion, and corruption have become the norm. It's a perfect storm for a criminal investigator like Mason Collins, especially when his friend, CIC Agent John Winstone, claims that a group of powerful men are taking over the lucrative trade. But before he can fully explain, Winstone and his girlfriend are brutally murdered"--

It is April 2003. American forces have taken Baghdad and are now charged with winning hearts and minds. But this vital tipping point is barely recognized for what it is, as a series of miscalculations and blunders fuels an already-simmering insurgency intent on making Iraq the next graveyard of empires. In dazzling and propulsive prose, Brian Van Reet explores the lives on both sides of the battle lines: Cassandra, a nineteen-year-old gunner on an American Humvee who is captured during a deadly firefight and awakens in a prison cell; Abu Al-Hool, a lifelong mujahedeen beset by a simmering crisis of conscience as he struggles against enemies from without and within, including the new wave of far more radicalized jihadists; and Specialist Sleed, a tank crewman who goes along with a "victimless" crime, the consequences of which are more awful than any he could have imagined. Depicting a war spinning rapidly out of control, destined to become a modern classic, Spoils is an unsparing and morally complex novel that chronicles the achingly human cost of combat.

Did the cross of Calvary truly remove every form of the curse? Did Jesus really make everything right for those who put their trust in Him? Or do we await another day when God will add to the work of the cross in order to complete our salvation? The truth contained in this treatise is the simplest of all truths. This book is not a study on the mysterious depths of the gospel, but rather, on the foundational principles upon which the church is to be built. Although foundational, the truth contained herein is one in which the church at large is unfamiliar. Though simple, this truth is simply profound and contains power to bring forth a new and radical perspective. This new perspective contains the ability to connect the believer to supernatural possibilities. This radical perspective of which I speak is a simple and honest look at the redemptive work of the cross. Could it be that Jesus' death, resurrection, and seating at the Fathers right hand has totally and completely rectified the human condition? Is it possible that as believers, we can experience and enjoy the bountiful and unlimited blessings of heaven by merely agreeing with what the Father has already accomplished through His Son? It has often been said that every believer has a right to be blessed, healed, favored, etc. The truth is, we have far more than a mere right to these blessings. We have Jesus' Right which guarantees that these blessings are not only ours, but they are irrevocably ours. Because of the redemptive work of Calvary, every believer is as much in the right with the Father as Jesus Himself. The moment we believe in Jesus, His righteousness is accredited to our account! Thus, Jesus' Right is NOW upon us! Truly, there has been a great exchange . . . He has taken all of our wrong and given us all of His RIGHT.
