Diana Oestreich, a combat medic in the Army National Guard, enlisted like both her parents before her.

Torn between God's call to love her enemy and her country's command to be willing to kill, Diana chose to wage peace in a place of war.

The Ultimate Exodus opens our eyes to the things that enslave us, and it sets us on the path of our own exodus. Danielle Strickland revisits the story of the Exodus to see what we can learn from a people who were slaves and who learned from God what it means to be free. We discover as we go that deliverance goes much deeper than our circumstances. God uproots us from the things we have become slaves to, and he takes us on a long walk to the freedom he created us to enjoy.

You are my people. This book is for what our world could be if we decide to change it. It won’t be easy and it won’t be safe. But it will be wild. And we like wild. This is our anthem.

This is about a Jesus who is better, more beautiful, more radical, more untamed, more risky, more wild than we ever imagined.
