It was the day before Christmas in a small Russian village. Alexi’s babushka was telling him what Christmas was like when she was a girl-before the soldiers came. “Our church was as crowded as a pod full of peas. Candles made the church as bright as the sunniest day. Watching over us was the blessed icon of St. Nicholas.” Alexi had many questions, including, “Why can’t we celebrate Christmas tomorrow in St. Nicholas?” Babushka sadly replied that it would take a miracle after sixty years. Well, Alexi had heard enough. If there truly was such a thing as a miracle, why couldn’t it happen here? And so unfolds a story that poignantly reveals how, though quiet and hidden, faith and hope cannot be suppressed-by soldiers or by time.Sku: 9781883937188

One of the most exciting series of a master story teller about the German occupation of The Netherlands during the emotional time of the Second World War (1940-1945). The country was occupied by the German military forces. The nation’s freedom was destroyed by the foreign men in power. Violence, persecutions and executions were the order of the day, and the main target of the enemy was the destruction of the Christian way of life. In that time the resistance movement of underground fighters became very active. People from all ages and levels joined in and tried to defend the Dutch Christian heritage as much as possible. The above mentioned book show us how older and younger people were involved in that dangerous struggle. It often was a life and death battle. Every page of this series is full of tension. The stories give an accurate and very vivid impression of that difficult and painful time. These books should also be in the hands of our young people. They are excellent instruments to understand the history of their own country and to learn the practical value of their own confession.Sku: 9780921100072

Kansas ingenuity and determination meets Spanish grace and benevolence in this story of Old California in the years just before the Gold Rush of 1849. The wagon which has carried sixteen-year-old Lank and his younger sister Tess across the plains, mountains and desert, through sickness, misery and near death, falls to pieces on the edge of La Hacienda de las Flores de Oro—The Ranch of Golden Flowers. Taken in by the generous de Soto family, and befriended by the Munita and her brother Ernesto, the recently orphaned young people desire to find a way to repay their kind hosts. Both captivated by the gracious culture of Spanish colonial life and alarmed by its open-handed and, to Lank and Tess, outright improvident ways, the two set to work with a will. How they succeed in helping to prepare the de Sotos for the great changes ahead is engagingly played out against the colorful background of Old Californian life at its height.Sku: 9781932350494

Sample THIS is the story of an Australian boy and three American sailors who loved a ship–the Randy. It tells how the boy, Ginge, went to sea and sailed around the world in search of the Randy, and how he came to solve the mystery of the death of his beloved friend “Jeem”. It is the story of the strange, secret adventures of the Randy along the lonely coast of Western Australia and among the islands and reefs of the Indian Ocean, where mystery ships were not unknown in the early Nineteen-Forties. When Joe, one of the Americans, pitched a few yarns about a ship to a young boy lazing on the beach in the sunshine he did not know that he was starting a sequence of events that were to shape the boy’s destiny and result in the death of his friend. Nor could he know that his words were to influence the lives of a group of American soldiers castaway on a lonely island in the north. Because of the hold the Randy took on his imagination, the boy was to travel many miles in his search for this wonder ship and to recount stories of her exploits which made him famous all over the Pacific. But like a magnet the Indian Ocean always drew him homeward and it was there, within sound of the wailing of the ghosts of the castaway Dutchman of Pelsart’s crew, that at last he found the Randy.Sku: 9781925729924
