Lost Things: Fighting and Loving and the Death of an Ideal by Levi Wilkins

In LOST THINGS, Levi Wilkins chronicles his journey fighting Stage 4 cancer.

When Levi found out he had it, one of his pastors gave him a book, Cancer is Funny. That inspired Levi to keep track of his thoughts and feelings through chemo.

Most of what you read will be incredibly positive and real. There are dark times when Levi wonders if he’ll make it (he did), and you’ll laugh when he describes some of his #cancerwins.

This book comes out posthumously. Levi died in a mountain climbing accident in the Witchita Mountains on September 22, 2023, so keep that in mind as you make your way through his thoughts.

LOST THINGS is dedicated to Levi’s wife, Emily, and their three children, Nora, Wyatt, and Owen.

James Gregory brings the personal memoirs of John S. Hubert back to life with an updated memoir. John S. Hubert enlisted in the United States Army (secretly, at the age of 15 years old) in April 1917 and was sent to Camp Baker, Texas for training but would be eventually assigned to Company C. 1st Battalion, 2nd U.S. Engineer Regiment, which would later be assigned to the newly formed 2nd Division, AEF while in France in the fall of 1917. While in the French Theater of Operations, Hubert would serve as a Company Runner with Co C. and have a personal "ringside seat" during the fighting from Belleau Wood in early summer to the final blood-soaked campaign of the war, the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in the fall of 1918. Hubert’s personal experience reveals a new light on the participation of the 2nd Engineers in the war. This is one of the only records written by a member of the 2nd Engineer Regiment and deserves to find a place in any historian’s library.

Driven By Desire: Insatiable Longings, Incredible Promises, Infinite God by Thomas Fitzpatrick

Beauty. Fascination. Power. Love. Intimacy. Importance. Devotion. Those words don’t simply describe the newest Hollywood hit. They describe the core longings of the human heart—the core longings of your heart. Everything you do, from posting pictures to purchasing products, to striving for a higher pay grade, is driven by one (or all) of these desires. But most people assume these desires annoy or even anger God. They think that the only thing God says about these passions and pursuits is “No!” or “Stay Away!” But what if the opposite was true? What if your desires were originally given to you by God and only satisfied through him? What if they are the primary way you were created to connect with God? In Driven By Desire, author Thomas Fitzpatrick introduces you to several key Biblical truths that have the potential to radically change your understanding of your desires and the God who purposefully gave them all to you.

Faithful Doubt by Travis Scott

Many Christians think the presence of doubt cancels out faith or makes them somehow unworthy to go to God. Many others assume they could never have faith because they have so many doubts about the God of the Bible. But what if faith and doubt aren't polar opposites? The book of Habakkuk could be described as one man’s wrestling with God and boldly stating his questions and doubts. In Faithful Doubt, Travis Scott explores the ancient prophecy in Habakkuk to see how it helps us better understand the relationship between faith and doubt and how the practice of faithful doubt is a necessary part of a healthy spiritual life.
