Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book will introduce the John 17 experience and journey. A journey that began with a Pentecostal leader, Joe Tosini, and has since included Church leaders across the United States in a spirit of deep communion.

Those encounters have then been repeated locally in Arizona, Oregon, Texas, and New York.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Henning Mankell is a worldwide phenomenon: his books have been translated into forty languages with more than 35 million copies in print, and both his critical acclaim and fan base only continue to grow. His new novel Daniel is an elegiac, unexpected story that only he could have told.In the 1870s, Hans Bengler arrives in Cape Town from Småland, Sweden, driven by a singular desire: to discover an insect no one has seen before and name it after himself. But then he impulsively adopts a young San orphan, a boy he christens Daniel and brings with him back to Sweden?a quite different specimen than he first contemplated. Daniel is told to call Bengler "Father," taught to knock on doors and bow, and continually struggles to understand this strange new land of mud and snow that surrounds and seemingly entraps him. At the same time, he is haunted by visions of his murdered parents calling him home to Africa. Knowing that the only way home is by sea, he decides he must learn to walk on water if he is ever to reclaim his true place in the world.Evocative and sometimes brutal, the novel takes Daniel through a series of tragedies and betrayals that culminate in a shocking act. Mankell tells this indelible story with a ruthless elegance all his own.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Irène Némirovsky's posthumous Suite Française has become a publishing phenomenon, selling more than half a million copies since its publication in 2006. As those who know it are keenly aware, Némirovsky was killed by the Nazis before she had a chance to write the last three sections of what she intended to be a five-part work. As Claire Messud wrote in Bookforum, Némirovsky's "hope in the midst of hopelessness . . . is a rare gift." As they were being deported to concentration camps, Némirovsky and her husband, like so many other German Jews, sent their two young daughters, then five and seven, to live under assumed identities--in this case in a Catholic boarding school in the south of France--which enabled them to survive the war. The younger daughter, Elisabeth Gille, became a well-known French publisher, and chronicled her wartime experiences in her own novel, Shadows of a Childhood. Originally published long before the manuscript of Suite Française was discovered, Shadows of a Childhood is now available for Némirovsky fans who want to know more about the circumstances of her death and her daughters' survival. Gille's haunting novel is a moving sequel to her mother's masterpiece and an important part of an extraordinary family's literary legacy.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A New & Noteworthy selection of The New York Times Book Review Alexis Clark illuminates a whole corner of unknown World War I history.--Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci A]n irresistible human story. . . . Clark's voice is engaging, and her tale universal.--Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power and American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House A true and deeply moving narrative of forbidden love during World War I and a shocking, hidden history of race on the home front This is a love story like no other: Elinor Powell was an African American nurse in the U.S. military during World War I; Frederick Albert was a soldier in Hitler's army, captured by the Allies and shipped to a prisoner-of-war camp in the Arizona desert. Like most other black nurses, Elinor pulled a second-class assignment, in a dusty, sun-baked--and segregated--Western town. The army figured that the risk of fraternization between black nurses and white German POWs was almost nil. Brought together by unlikely circumstances in a racist world, Elinor and Frederick should have been bitter enemies; but instead, at the height of World War I, they fell in love. Their dramatic story was unearthed by journalist Alexis Clark, who through years of interviews and historical research has pieced together an astounding narrative of race and true love in the cauldron of war. Based on a New York Times story by Clark that drew national attention, Enemies in Love paints a tableau of dreams deferred and of love struggling to survive, twenty-five years before the Supreme Court's Loving decision legalizing mixed-race marriage--revealing the surprising possibilities for human connection during one of history's most violent conflicts.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Joseph Reyna has written a prequel to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, as an exciting action thriller that 20 years of research has made more truth than fiction. This clash of genres-aspects of historical science fiction, with some contemporary fiction thrown in-begins with a controversial exorcism during a hurricane in the jungles of Central America. Joshua, a controversial priest, whose ideas about exorcism are not well accepted by authorities in the Catholic Church, finds himself caught up in way more drama than anticipated as the exorcism goes haywire. Subsequently he is rescued by a group of people led by Teryk, an excommunicated priest and exorcist. Teryk has experienced drama of his own in missing time and vivid memories of a life as Judas Iscariot during the time of Jesus' crucifixion. A host of characters in this underground high-tech society come together to analyze and set out to prove or disprove what Teryk reveals about that trip in time. Many will question the 20 years of research that went into this book and many will be offended. However, the astute, open-minded reader will find much to ponder. What if the stories found in the Old Testament are actually a retelling of events that occurred much, much earlier? Perhaps, as far back as 12,000 years. The newly discovered pyramids and cities, covered by both earth and oceans, certainly seem to date back, at least, that far. So what if: -More than a dozen demi-gods had already been born of virgin mothers, on the night of the Winter Solstice before Jesus' birth. All were said to work miracles, and they were all betrayed, crucified and entombed-only to resurrect days later -Ancient Middle Eastern historians, recorded that during the Spring Equinox of 31 AD-the date of the Crucifixion-a solar eclipse occurred. -Then within hours there was a blood-red lunar eclipse. -Both eclipses were totally unexpected and accompanied by massive earthquakes. -Did Jesus have an identical twin brother? Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense. -Mark Twain.…
