Ralph C. Meloon Jr. comes from the Meloon family of Ski Nautique Boat-builder fame. After working with the family business for years, he moved to Alaska and became a bush pilot. He has been flying for 50 years and has gleaned some incredible stories of his adventures that

Will’s Pick: Stronger Together, Weaker Apart by Tony Evans

Do you struggle to love those whose opinions differ from yours? Whether it’s the coworker
talking politics, the opinionated uncle at the other end of the holiday table, or the fellow believer
sitting in your pew, it can be hard to grit your teeth and get along – much less show love! And
you’re not the only one struggling. Our nation, our churches, and even our families are all experiencing disastrous separation and discord. But here’s the good news: Division is never the
last word for those who are in Christ Jesus. In this collection of soul-searching prayers and
devotions, you’ll be empowered to take up the armor of God, ground your words in Scripture,
and pray for the unity that comes through a shared kingdom vision. Nothing gets better until we
come together. Join bestselling author and teacher Dr. Tony Evans and discover how the Spirit
moves when God’s people pray.
