Book Description
Berlin 1939. A few months after Kristallnacht, eighteen-year old Irene Spicker tries to flee to Belgium but ends up in a Nazi prison. Freed after a few weeks, she tries again—this time, in the dark of night, she successfully crosses the frontier. The Germans invaded Belgium, and Irene was forced into hiding. Constantly on the move, she worked as a farmhand, at one point using false identity papers. Arrested by the Gestapo, she sat in a cellar prison cell destined for transport to Auschwitz. To calm her fears, she made a small detailed drawing of her hand which was to save her life. Incarcerated in the concentration camp in Mechlen, she was assigned to paint signs, posters and numbers for her co-prisoners to wear around their necks. This is Irene Awret’s story of her first twenty-five years, from coming of age in a middle-class Jewish family to Mechlen where she met the young sculptor Azriel Awret, to liberation and freedom once more. Copublished with Dryad Press.

Book Description
In 1999, with Forge's publication of The Buckskin Line, Elmer Kelton launched a series of novels on the formative years of the Texas Rangers. In Texas Justice, the first three of these critically acclaimed books are now brought together in a single volume. In The Buckskin Line, Kelton introduces the red-haired boy captured by a Comanche war party after the massacre of his family. Rescued by Mike Shannon, a member of a Texas "ranging company" protecting settlers from Indian raids, the boy known as Rusty is adopted by the Shannon family. In 1861, Mike Shannon is ambushed and killed, and Rusty follows in his footsteps and joins the Rangers. In the throes of the coming War Between the States, Rusty searches for the Confederates who lynched his adoptive father and awaits meeting the Comanche warrior who killed his family two decades past. At the end of the Civil War, Rusty Shannon is thrown adrift when the Rangers are disbanded, and makes his way to his home on the Red River, where he hopes to marry the girl he left behind, Geneva Monahan. But as Badger Boy, the second novel of the saga, unfolds, Geneva has married another man in Rusty's absence. Faced with this betrayal, he must contend with the hate-filled Confederate and Union soldiers infesting Texas and with the continuing Indian raids against innocent settlers. Rusty's own childhood captivity returns to haunt him when he rescues Andy, a white child called Badger Boy by his Comanche captors. In The Way of the Coyote, Andy rides with Rusty Shannon as the Rangers are re-formed in postwar turmoil. With Texas overrun with outlaws, disenfranchised Confederate veterans, nightriders, and marauding Comanche bands, Rusty tries to resume his pre-war life. When his friend Shanty, a freed slave, is burned out of his home by Ku Klux Klan and Rusty's own homestead is confiscated by a murderous band of thugs, he must follow perilous trails before he can put the war and its aftermath behind him. Texas Justice is not only a masterful re-creation of the early years of the Texas Rangers, it is vintage Elmer Kelton, the undisputed master of the Western story. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
A story of love, war and an incessant driving force of a territory that is trying to make itself ready for statehood, regardless of the consequences to local inhabitants. Descendants of early Spanish settlers, the Native Americans, already on the land, are forced to face the invasion of eastern immigration—taking their land where they once lived peaceably with each other. The Civil War brought southern sympathizers seeking gold from the Rocky Mountains that would aid their cause. The commingling of the different races rent deceit, hatred, terror and also love among these early pioneers, all of whom were seeking a better way of life—but disregarding the lives of early Spanish and Native Americans.

Book Description
Decision at Golgotha: A Controversial Devil’s Testament is a unique story, with ingenious interweaving of biblical truth and imaginative fiction. Azalek, a controversial, lesser devil in Satan’s army, becomes involved in the life of Jesus Christ, and gives us a fascinating eyewitness account of the war between Jesus and Satan’s forces. Azalek is an inquisitive devil, who thinks fast, sees far, and disagrees with many demonic practices. He infuriates Satan by inventing solutions and asking thought provoking questions about mankind’s perennial problems. This is a sophisticated work of fiction about God’s love for his Creation, where theology is done in plain language and the mind and the spirit are weapons more deadly than any modern firearm. The narrative moves back and forth between the familiar biblical teaching and actions of Jesus, and the strange world of Jesus’ human and demonic enemies. The reader has a front row seat at the gatherings of humans and devils debating the fate of Jesus, is present at the exorcisms of demons from tormented people, and is not spared the details of Jesus’ agony, as Satan and his helpers conspire to torture and kill him.
Author: Louis De Wohl Publisher: Ignatius Press ISBN: 0898704049 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 412
Book Description
Another of the popular historical novels by the distinguished de Wohl, telling the dramatic story of St. Benedict, the father of Western monasticism, who played such a major role in the Christianization and civilization of post-Roman Europe in the sixth century. De Wohl weaves an intricate tapestry of love, violence and piety to recount with historical accuracy the story of St. Benedict and the tempestuous era in which he lived. Since there are no contemporary biographies of this major saint of history and the Church, de Wohl's inspired account is of significant importance on the subject of saint's lives for today's spiritual seekers. Having lived in an era of great immorality and vice, not unlike our world today, Benedict's story has a strong message for modern Christians who seek, as he did, to turn away from the wickedness of the world to find Christ in prayer, study and solitude.
