Novel Climbs to #47 on USA Today’s Best-selling Booklist

Carol Stream, IL (June 23, 2025) – Silent Horizons, the first book in a new high-stake thriller series from former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux along with Navy TOPGUN fighter pilot Jack Stewart, has garnered the #1 spot on the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) fiction bestsellers chart and is making a steady climb on USA Today’s Best-selling Booklist at #47.
Silent Horizons (Tyndale, May 2025) gives readers a pulse-pounding glimpse into the clandestine side of special operations. The novel, centered on the fictional character of Foster Quinn, is filled with action, international intrigue, and interwoven with themes of military, brotherhood, bravery, and loyalty.
“It is a great encouragement to see SILENT HORIZONS gain readership in the Christian fiction space. Our hope has always been to attract a new audience of male readers who are looking for great fiction with a Christian worldview,” said Karen Watson, publisher. “Tyndale is pleased with this series launch that recognizes the sacrifices and challenges for men and women in our military and first responder communities. They deserve to be seen and represented in our storytelling. Congratulations, Chad and Jack, on this successful launch!”
Robichaux has authored several notable works, including the bestseller Saving Aziz—currently being adapted into a motion picture—and A Mission Without Borders. With eight deployments to Afghanistan, Robichaux has become a go-to resource and regularly contributes to a wide range of national media outlets including Fox News, along with hosting his own podcast, The Resilient Show. After nearly becoming a veteran suicide statistic before overcoming his personal battles with PTSD, Chad founded Mighty Oaks, a leading nonprofit serving the military and first responder communities with highly successful faith-based resiliency and recovery programs.
Stewart, who served twenty-three years as an FA-18C Hornet fighter pilot and flew combat missions from three different aircraft carriers over Iraq and Afghanistan, is recognized as an expert in close air support. A former law enforcement officer, he is now a captain with a major US airline and has appeared on international cable news as a military and commerical aviation expert. He has four prior novels in the acclaimed Battle Born series to his credit.

Abilene, TX — Many churches today face worry and concern over their collective future. One tragic consequence is that growing anxiety can turn inward on communities of faith. A subtle distancing and dividing can occur, often happening along generational lines. Us-versus-Them thinking morphs into Old-versus-Young. Instead of a culture of generation to generation, churches are shaped and formed more by a culture of generation versus generation.
