Book Description
From late 1975 through 1977, over a 13-month period, David Berkowitz went on a killing spree in the New York metropolitan area--a spree that left six people dead and seven wounded. When Berkowitz--dubbed the Son of Sam--was finally captured, he confessed to his crimes and in 1978 was sentenced to 365 consecutive years in prison. Ten years into David's prison sentence a fellow inmate began to share with him Christ's love, hope and forgiveness. Eventually, David Berkowitz accepted Jesus Christ's as his Lord and Savior and has been walking as a Christian for more than 18 years. David's prison journals offer irrefutable evidence that God has indeed done a marvelous and miraculous work on this man's life. Several Christian organizations now refer to David's testimony as an example of the life-transforming power of the Gospel.

Book Description
His name is David Berkowitz. Once the notorious "Son of Sam." His former lifestyle consisted of being an arsonist, setting over 1,000 fires, a Satanist, and serial killer, who in the late 1970s brought a wave of terror to the streets of New York. After the biggest manhunt in New York's history, the headlines read "caught," and David Berkowitz was sentenced to 350 years behind bars. While in prison, David Berkowitz became a born-again Christian, and in 1995, RoxAnne Tauriello was granted an interview with the former "Son of Sam," where he discussed the dark satanic influences that led to his murderous rampage and how he came to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. "The RoxAnne Tauriello Show: David Berkowitz" interview went on to win the CAPE Award (Cable Award for Programming Excellence). Follow along as RoxAnne gets to know the former "Son of Sam" through personal letters, phone conversations, and prison visits.

You will also get a firsthand look behind razor wire and prison walls, as RoxAnne takes you inside the units where inmates are housed in tiny "Dungeons of Doom."

Now known as "Son of Hope," see how God's love, mercy, and transforming power, changed David's life from of one of the vilest of sinners to a new creation in Christ. Learn how you too can receive God's forgiveness of sin, a new life, along with God's peace, hope, joy, and purpose for life and living, and eternal life in heaven, never to face God's judgement and hell.

Book Description
40th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CASE THAT ROCKED THE NATION Discover the harrowing true story of the notorious serial killer who terrorized New York City forty years ago during the summer of 1977—David Berkowitz, otherwise known as Son of Sam—for true crime fans and viewers of The Lost Tapes: Son of Sam documentary now on the Smithsonian Channel. Son of Sam recounts the incredible, “can’t miss” (Kirkus Reviews) story of how a single man killed six innocent people, wounded several others, and sent millions of New Yorkers into a panic from July 1976 through August 1977. It is also the story of the greatest manhunt in the history of the New York Police Department—the intimate narrative of the men assigned to tracking down a lone killer who prowled supposedly safe neighborhoods and randomly shot pretty young women with his .44-caliber revolver. The police task force investigated more than 3,000 suspects while politicians watched a city fall into panic. Yet the interest didn’t fade after an arrest was made, and the criminal justice system showed itself incapable of coping with the man who committed such horrendous crimes. Now, based on more than three hundred recorded conversations between David Berkowitz and psychiatrists, police, district attorneys, and his defense counsel, along with his own handwritten notes and diaries, as well as the accounts of the survivors and the families of victims, this chilling book thoroughly explores the full horror of Son of Sam.

Book Description
For years Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Award-winning author N. T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian's future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright, who is one of today's premier Bible scholars, asserts that Christianity's most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. He provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus and shows how this became the cornerstone for the Christian community's hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth," revealing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the "second coming" of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise. Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation—and if this has already begun in Jesus's resurrection—the church cannot stop at "saving souls" but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God's kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life. Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but before it.

Book Description
A Sweeping Standalone from New York Times Bestseller Pepper Winters. “Things you should know about me from the very beginning: I was born to true love, witnessed the destruction it causes, and vowed never to let such agony happen to me. I am not a story-teller like my father. I am not a writer like my mother. I am just a son—their son. I am happy being alone. And that is all I ever want to be.” JACOB The day he was born, Jacob learned his hardest and longest lesson. It wasn’t a lesson a boy should learn so young, but from his earliest memories he knew where happiness lives, so does tragedy. Where love exists, so does heartbreak. And where hope resides, so does sorrow. That lesson carved him from the kid to the teen to the man. And nothing and no one could change his mind. HOPE I first met him when he was fourteen at a movie premiere of all places. A movie based on his parent’s life. He was stoic, strong, suspicious, and secretive. I was only ten, but I felt something for him. A strange kind of heartbreak that made me want to hug and heal him. I was the daughter of the actor hired to play his father. We shared similarities. I recognised parts of him because they were parts of me. But no matter how many times we met. No matter how many times I tried. He stayed true to his vow to never fall. 5 Stars The Son & His Hope will ruin you in the best possible way. -- The Romance Rebels 5 Stars You need to experience this amazing, powerful, once in a lifetime series. --Heather, Goodreads 5 Stars Epically beautiful and unforgettable. This story is beyond anything you’ll ever read. --Melissa, Goodreads

Book Description
At the greatest moments and in the cruelest times, black women have been a crucial part of America's history. Now, the inspiring history of black women in America is explored in vivid detail by two leaders in the fields of African American and women's history. A Shining Thread of Hope chronicles the lives of black women from indentured servitude in the early American colonies to the cruelty of antebellum plantations, from the reign of lynch law in the Jim Crow South to the triumphs of the Civil Rights era, and it illustrates how the story of black women in America is as much a tale of courage and hope as it is a history of struggle. On both an individual and a collective level, A Shining Thread of Hope reveals the strength and spirit of black women and brings their stories from the fringes of American history to a central position in our understanding of the forces and events that have shaped this country.

Book Description
David Berkowitz, who became infamously known as the 'Son of Sam', first struck on the morning of 29 July 1976. It was the beginning of many brutal attacks that were to terrorize New York City's citizens over a one-year period. During the summer of 1977 at the height of the killer's notoriety and with the city in a collective panic over who was going to be his next victim, bars and nightclubs were deserted. It seemed that the efforts of the NYPD and special task teams couldn't bring the serial killer, who indiscriminately shot his victims with a 44-caliber handgun, to justice. Today, Berkowitz, former Son of Sam and now devout Christian, languishes behind bars and is unlikely ever to be released.
