During the height of the Cold War paranoia, the United States Strategic Air Command kept nuclear-armed bombers in the sky constantly. It was a strategy fraught with the risk of human error. In February 1958, an F-86 fighter jet accidentally collided with a B-47 bomber during a training mission off the coast of Georgia. To safely land his severely damaged bomber, the pilot was forced to jettison his payload into the shallow, muddy waters of the Wassaw Sound near Tybee Island. That payload was a 7,600-pound Mark 15 thermonuclear bomb. Despite a massive, frantic, months-long search by Navy divers using sonar and dragging cables through the swamps, the weapon was never found. It remains buried in the silt to this day. This book investigates the terrifying logistics of the military''s "Broken Arrow" incidents. We analyze the controversial, heavily redacted government reports regarding whether the lost bomb contained a fully active plutonium capsule capable of a nuclear detonation, or just conventional explosives. Explore one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the atomic age. A chilling reminder that the U.S. government permanently lost a weapon of mass destruction in a popular fishing spot.

We live in perilous times. Christians are facing challenges around the world. In the Middle-East and in Africa and Asia believers are being persecuted and executed just for being Christian. In the West there are efforts to marginalize and ostracize Christians just for standing for the truth in the Word of God. In light of all of this, we are called to be the spotless Bride of Christ. We read in the Bible that in the last days, there will be a great falling away and that only those who endure to the end will be saved. Our success in this calling is dependent on our understanding of the faithfulness of God. It is only as we come to know Him and the excellence of His character that we are able to remain faithful. Even then, it will require more than just grit and determination. We must develop habits and disciplines that will position us for success. In the chapters of this book, we will discover the magnificent faithfulness of God and we will explore those disciplines that will ensure that we remain that faithful Bride.
