Finally, it’s not a book on ministry or faith, but Horse Soldiers (Scribner) by Doug Stanton is one of the most fascinating books you’ll read, as it relates the story of how a handful of special forces soldiers and CIA officers entered Afghanistan in the days after 9/11 and worked with Afghan forces to take on the Taliban. If you’re looking for an interesting book for that last bit of summer vacation, this one is hard to beat.
