The Way of the Brave by Susan May WarrenMy rating: 💛💛💛
This was quite different to what I expected from the normal Susan May Warren Novel, but just as entertaining. What an exciting, adventurous ride. These pages were filled with danger, action, but even more than that, which is why I love this author's work, is the way the characters' physical struggles represented the spiritual struggles and walk with God as well.
“I was pretty focused on the moment.” “And so is God. But he also sees the big picture. That’s why we have to live by faith, not just by sight. Because he is always working on our behalf, in the moment, even if we can’t see it.”
I loved all of the characters, especially HAM, who was just such a solid and supportive team member, knowing when to push and when to just listen. I loved Jake and his almost Superman moment had me laughing out loud.
Don’t assign truth to experiences, or your faith to your feelings. You have to base everything on who God is. Good. Loving. Our rescuer.
The author's research was so detailed. I felt the danger and do not understand why people would like to put them through that for fun. There was a few things I felt I didn't get closure and a few things I felt was a bit weird.
I'm looking forward to this series, especially after that ending with Ham.

About the book:
Former pararescue jumper Orion Starr is haunted by the memory of a rescue gone wrong. He may be living alone in Alaska now, but the pain of his failure--and his injuries--has followed him there from Afghanistan. He has no desire to join Hamilton Jones's elite rescue team, but he also can't shirk his duty when the call comes in to rescue three lost climbers on Denali.
Former CIA profiler and psychiatrist Jenny Calhoun's yearly extreme challenge with her best friends is her only escape from the guilt that has sunk its claws into her. As a consultant during a top-secret mission to root out the Taliban, she green-lighted an operation that ended in ambush and lives lost. When her cathartic climb on Denali turns deadly, she'll be forced to trust her life and the lives of her friends to the most dangerous of heroes--the man she nearly killed.
Her skills and his experience are exactly what's needed to prevent another tragedy--but in order to truly set Orion free from his painful past, Jenny will have to reveal hers. They'll have to put their wounds behind them to survive, but at what cost?
