Book Description
Famed conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein once said, "The second fiddle. I can get plenty of first violinists, but to find someone who can play the second fiddle with enthusiasm-that's a problem. And if we have no second fiddle, we have no harmony." Instrumental music would be extremely boring if "first" instruments existed alone. Certainly, you would have a clear melody, but the supportive "second" and "third" instruments provide sounds that offer a much more beautiful "harmony" to any presentation. Second Fiddles is a variable week Bible study that explores the character of biblical persons who "played" secondary roles to others in primary leadership roles. Each chapter focuses on a "second" and "third" supporting player who helped the leader achieve his/her mission. Each chapter also has takeaway questions with insightful opportunities to apply biblical truth. This Bible study reminds us that there are more "second fiddles" in life than "first violins," and biblical characters offer a model for us to emulate as we discover that God frequently uses "sidekicks" and "background" characters to further His kingdom. Get ready to discover your own "second fiddle" contributions to God's wondrous symphony of grace and mercy. Todd V.

Book Description
As London braces for WWII, a string of murdered rabbis draws Inspector Troy into a mystery that “sets pulses racing and the jaded responses tingling” (The Irish Times). One of today’s top historical espionage writers, considered “as good as Le Carré” (Chicago Tribune) and “a master,” John Lawton adds another spellbinding thriller to his Inspector Troy series with Second Violin (Rocky Mountain News). The sixth installment in the series, Lawton’s new novel opens in 1938 with Europe on the brink of war. In London, Frederick Troy, newly promoted to the prestigious murder squad at Scotland Yard, is put in charge of rounding up a list of German and Italian “enemy aliens” that also includes his brother, Rod, who learns upon receiving an internment letter that he was born in Austria despite having grown up in England. Hundreds of men are herded by train to a neglected camp on the Isle of Man. And as the bombs start falling on London, a murdered rabbi is found, then another, and another . . . Amid great war, murder is what matters. Moving from the Nazi-infested alleys of prewar Vienna to the bombed-out streets of 1940 London, and featuring an extraordinary cast of characters, Lawton’s thriller is a suspenseful and intelligent novel, as good a spy story as it is an historical narrative. “Smart and gracefully written.” —Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post
