A Place to Hide: Equipping Ordinary Moms to Survive a Public Shooting, by Christian McShaffrey. Kept Pure Press, 2024. Paperback, 130 pages, $14.99.

I am so thankful that my friend Christian McShaffrey has written a short, clear work on a dark but important topic. This book is brief, helpful, and packed with vital information.

Though many readers might hesitate at the topic, I am going to ask my wife and daughter specifically to read this booklet as some of the information herein may save their lives.

As believers, we know that we live in a dangerous world. We see it in our Bibles, in our newspapers, and on our social media feeds. We don’t like to think about the possibility that something deadly might happen near us, but having crisp, clear information in our heads and hearts is powerful precaution we cannot ignore.

Not long ago, my mother took two of our daughters to the mall. Out of nowhere, shots were fired somewhere in the mall. With nothing but instinct, all three scattered with no plan and in sheer terror. Thankfully, they were able to regroup in the parking lot safely. With the information in this book, they might have been able to act more thoughtfully and intentionally in those terrifying moments.

Sadly, our culture is changing quickly and our cities are disintegrating before our eyes. Violent crime, dangerous immigration trends, and one public shooting after another seem to fill the headlines. McShaffrey’s book will help you and your loved ones to make crucial decisions no matter where the next dangerous outbreak takes place.

I gladly recommend this book to my congregants, YouTube viewers, and my own family members.
