The rebranding brings a new website and logo.
Kregel author Craig DeMartino (After the Fall: A Climber's True Story of Facing Death and Finding Life, 2013) will host a new program on the Outdoor Channel. Fight to Survive premieres Saturday, October 4, and tells true stories of adventurers like DeMartino himself, who fell more than100 feet while climbing in Rocky Mountain National Park. His book, After the Fall, recounts his recovery from injuries that included the loss of part of his right leg, as well as how his Christian faith was strengthened by the ordeal. DeMartino is back to climbing and other outdoor adventures; hosting Fight to Survive gives him the chance to tell the stories of others who came back from the brink.
