Law of the Jungle by John Otis is a wild and riveting true story of kidnapping and drug trafficking in the jungles of South America. Written by a 20-year veteran reporter based in Colombia—the only reporter qualified to tell the tale—this incredible account of “The Hunt for Colombian Guerrillas, American Hostages, and Buried Treasure” tells the untold flip side of the story chronicled in the New York Times bestseller Out of Captivity. An amazing surreal-but-true adventure in the tradition of Mark Bowden’s Killing Pablo and Blackhawk Down, Law of the Jungle is, at once, heroic, tragic, and bizarre, placing the Colombian hostage story in its full and magnificently strange context.

On February 13, 2003, a plane carrying three American military contractors crash-landed in the jungle-covered mountains of Colombia. Within minutes, FARC guerrillas swarmed the wreckage and killed the American pilot and a Colombian crew member, then marched the survivorsMarc Gonsalves, Keith Stansell, and Thomas Howesat gunpoint into the rain forest. The Colombian government sent 147 soldiers to rescue the Americans. The troops spent weeks subsisting on monkey meat and Amazon rodents as they chased the guerrillas deeper into the jungle. But then a soldier on a bathroom break stuck his machete into the ground and pulled out 20 million pesospart of a buried rebel cache of $20 millionand the game suddenly changed. Veteran journalist John Otis places the Colombian hostage story in its full context, exploring the inner workings of the FARC, the U.S.-backed war on drugs, and Colombia's efforts to free the rebel-held prisoners. Law of the Jungle is an edge-of-your-seat adventure and a shocking cautionary tale about the pursuit of fortune in one of the world's most dangerous places.

Chronic pain has a multitude of causes, many of which are not well understood or effectively treated by medical therapies. Individuals with chronic pain often report that pain interferes with their ability to engage in occupational, social, or recreational activities. Sufferers' inability to engage in these everyday activities may contribute to increased isolation, negative mood and physical deconditioning, which in turn can contribute to their experience of pain. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been proven effective at managing various chronic pain conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic back pain, and tension/migraine headache. The CBT treatment engages patients in an active coping process aimed at changing maladaptive thoughts and behaviors that can serve to maintain and exacerbate the experience of chronic pain. Overcoming Chronic Pain, Therapist Guide instills all of these empirically validated treatments into one comprehensive, convenient volume that no clinician can do without. By presenting the basic, proven-effective CBT methods used in each treatment, such as stress management, sleep hygiene, relaxation therapy and cognitive restructuring, this guide can be used to treat all chronic pain conditions with success.

Delivered By Angels: God's Providence for an American Soldier in Iraq is an inspiring 200 page book that chronicles the year long deployment of Specialist Brian Otis, who is with the Georgia National Guard. During his deployment from May 2005 - May 2006. God spared him in amazing ways from the jaws of death on numerous occasions. The Scripture states that one of the purposes for God's holy angels is that of protection for His people. As Brian walked through the valley of the shadow of death, his God would demonstrate His gracious lovingkindness towards Brian. Rarely do we have opportunities to peer into the soul of a Christian soldier during combat. Brian is very frank about the challenges he faced and overcame by the Holy Spirit's strength. He is living testimony of the power of prayer. Brian is the son of Rev. John M. Otis, who presently is a pastor/evangelist in the Reformed Presbyterian Church in the United States. The book contains numerous emails that Brian's pastor father sent him to encourage him with God's marvelous truths. See how a Christian family dealt with a son in a dangerous war zone. This book is must reading not only for military families but for all Christians who want vivid documentation of God's amazing power, showing that the true and living God reigns sovereignly to intervene still in human history.
