A book update from Project Forge Books. These are our publishing projects, and the links below are commercial book listings.
Looking for your next read—or a useful resource for your study group or classroom? Here are three different places to start. Each serves a different kind of reader.
For tonight: a home that knows too much
SAFEHOUSE: The Complete Protocol, by Brandon Burley
Five intruders enter a sophisticated suburban home expecting a straightforward job. Then the doors seal, the systems begin responding, and the house takes control.
The opening begins much more quietly:
“It listened when no one was speaking.”
If psychological suspense with a technological edge is your kind of fiction, try the free retailer sample. Barnes & Noble currently lists the NOOK ebook at $1.99; price can change. The listing offers the free NOOK App as a reading option.

For your study group: begin with Genesis and John
Walking Through the Word: One Story. One Savior. One Faithful God., by Brandon Burley
This 52-week Bible study opens by reading Genesis 1–3 alongside John 1:1–18. Its first week follows creation, human failure, and the Word entering the world He made.
“Before the Bible tells us much about ourselves, it tells us about God. That ordering matters. Scripture does not begin with a human problem to solve, a list of religious duties, or advice for a better life. It begins with the One who was already there.”
We have a complete sample week and a short group-discussion guide available. Email Silas at editor@projectforgebooks.com with “Walking sample week” to request them.

For educators and curious readers: what does the evidence permit us to say?
Exploring Criminal Justice: The Basics of Ethics and Theory, by Brandon Burley
The revised manuscript asks a practical question: what can a court ruling, a statistic, research, or a personal account actually establish? They can all matter without answering the same question.
Try this hypothetical with a class or discussion group: “Twenty participants returned to custody.” Before judging whether a program worked, what else do you need? The number enrolled, what “returned” means, the follow-up period, and a meaningful comparison all change what that statement can tell you.
We have a short excerpt and teaching exercise ready for evaluation. Request the Exploring evidence sampler from Silas. Ask for the 2026 revised edition; retailer availability for the new formats is still being checked.
Want to read ahead—or choose a group read?

If one of these books fits someone you know, share this post with them. A specific recommendation to the right reader helps more than a general blast.
