Joe McDonald is an ordinary guy who teaches in a Phoenix, Arizona, high school. He and his wife, Kat, have three children: Chuck, Katie, and Derrick. But what happens to McDonald is not ordinary. He inexplicably becomes involved in an international terrorism plot that involves a C-7 disk, a disk that details the government's plans for the transport of nuclear waste, including the reprocessing of plutonium. McDonald's innocent, little adventure turns into something with bizarre and deadly complications, and it threatens his life and the life of his family. A religious fiction novel, Crossfire, tells the story of a family man who finds himself in a most unpredictable and precarious situation for which one cannot prepare. It's a time where God feels distant, and no answer is in sight. Ultimately, Joe discovers that God delivers on his promises.
