"This is not the place to ignore me..." Thousands of miles from home, on the business end of a daring mission into a deserted Afghan cityscape where friend and foe blend, author Joshua Motes hears God speak these words, calling him back to wholehearted devotion and a renewed commitment to be an influence for Jesus among the men he led. As one of the few American soldiers serving in the military that has experienced direct fire combat where life and death are a constant reality, First Lieutenant Motes offers a unique perspective on living out a committed life of faith. Not the Place to Ignore Me: Lessons in Faith from a Deadly Ambush, will empower you to... Live as a Christian in a world where you fight a very real enemy; one just as real as those that waited to ambush Motes and his men. Discover the danger of lingering unrepentant in a spiritually dry season, and how to be restored and renewed to a passionate spiritual life. Gain a renewed revelation of the sovereignty of God, His incomprehensible grace, and His goodness. "The book you hold reaches beyond surface talk and broaches a subject we have often forgotten in the American church; spiritual warfare....It is time for Jesus' bride to pay attention. He alone has the ability to guide us faithfully through the fire and fury of our enemy...He will be faithful to fulfill His promises, if only we will not ignore Him." -Joshua Foliart, founder and president of MULTIPLi Joshua Motes graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2010, with a bachelor's degree in communications. A first lieutenant in the US Army, Joshua served eleven years, completing combat tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He currently resides in Colorado Springs, CO.
