How We Survived: 52 Personal Stories by Child Survivors of the Holocaust


Marie Kaufman
    Experience, through frightened eyes and terrifying memories, the remarkable first hand stories of survival by 52 people who lived as children through this most horrific event of the 20th century, the Holocaust. You will find yourself privileged to become a witness for posterity to these stories of Holocaust survival.This volume of personal accounts is all the more precious because of how few children survived. In Nazi-occupied Europe, 93% of Jewish children were murdered. Every surviving child needed a helping hand, a kind adult (or many), in order to make it. Heroism comes in many guises. It may require faith, morality, modesty, love, respect, and sacrifice. Whatever the personal ingredients, relatively few stepped forward. What did the children themselves contribute? Their silence, co-operation, intuition, facility with languages, suppression of grief and tears, delay of mourning enormous losses, the will to live. Astonishing. A child one day - an adult the next. There could not be even one mistake. The penalty for any failure of judgment meant death. The reader should note that these traumatized children did not become killers or thieves. They struggled to become good citizens, raise families, and contribute to their communities. If survival itself was a miracle, so was surviving survival. Each one of the stories offers an opportunity to learn from a child's experiences with prejudicial hatred and pure evil, about personal fortitude and resilience, about rare individuals who helped children in need, and about courage - the courage of the survivor to share his or her story. The reader will be well rewarded.

The Complete Sayings of Jesus


Arthur Hinds
    There is plenty of connecting narrative around the instances where Jesus speaks, so this is better than simply presenting each quote out of context. The focus on what Jesus is attributed as saying makes it easier to browse the core texts of the New Testament. In this Kindle edition, the words of Jesus are highlighted in large bold text. All in all, a very useful reference, and a great read.--J.B. Hare

The Silent Psychopath


Jennylee Rose Bruno
    Despite being Deaf, Jennylee is sent to regular schools and due to endless bullying, she pretends to overdose and is sent to a psychiatric hospital. It was here that she meets Devin, who takes her on a chaotic terror ride into his dark world of drugs and violence. She experiences several near-death experiences, gets mixed up with the mafia, learns about Devin’s murderous side and is involved in a bizarre encounter with the late John F. Kennedy Jr. During this time, Devin threatens to shoot Jennylee and her family if she attempts to escape. He ultimately holds her hostage for four years, allowing her just fifteen minutes of freedom a day. All of the events that are described in this book actually took place, even though they are quite incredible. The book is an intense yet addictive read as it is so well observed from the eyes of a naïve young woman who makes up for her inability to hear with her acute awareness of visual detail and keen observation of the characters that she encounters along this insane and horrifying journey.

ABC's of Bible Prayer


Glenn A. Coon
    I found the ABC’s of prayer. "In Matthew 7:7 I learned the ‘A’ of prayer. ‘Ask and it shall be given you.’ In Mark 11:24 I learned the ‘B’ of prayer. ‘Believe.’ Believe that you have received the answer! Isn’t that simple? Yes, the rudiments are simple, but to do it is something else. To kneel down before God and open His book to any one of the 3,573 promises, or clusters of promises, and place my hand on it and ask God, with the simplicity of a little child, to fulfill this promise in my behalf, and then believe He will do it, simply because He has promised, is not a complicated thing. "The ‘C’ is the prayer of reception. And this I had to learn after having preached for many years. The ‘C’ is to claim the promise for which I have asked, and which I have told God I believe. I claim it by returning thanks that I have received it. This is the secret that had eluded me for many years.
