A hidden book. A found cipher. A game begins . . . .
Twelve-year-old Emily is on the move again. Her family is relocating to San Francisco, home of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger, a game where books are hidden all over the country and clues...
London is poised on the brink of World War II. Timid, scrawny Willie Beech -- the abused child of a single mother -- is evacuated to the English countryside. At first, he is terrified of everything, of the country sounds and sights, even of Mr. Tom, the gruff, kindly old man who has taken him in. But gradually...

Of the several Tam Lin retellings I've read, the classic YA novel The Perilous Gard is a standout. I frequently sing the praises of Pamela Dean's version of Tam Lin, while knowing full well that that novel will only appeal to a limited subset of the fraction of readers who like fairy tale novelizations....
Barth stands before us as the greatest theologian of the twentieth century, yet the massive corpus of work which he left behind, the multi volume Church Dogmatics, can seem daunting and formidable to readers today. Fortunately his Dogmatics in Outline first published in English in 1949, contains...

One of the great classics of prison literature, Letters and Papers from Prison effectively serves as the last will and testament of the Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a young German pastor who was executed by the Nazis in 1945 for his part in the “officers’...
The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt

Written in the 80s, it has a gothic feel...

In this inspiring account of the Tuskegee Airmen--the country's first African American military pilots--historian J. Todd Moye captures the challenges and triumphs of these brave aviators in their own words, drawing on more than 800 interviews recorded for the National Park Service's Tuskegee...

A brilliant theologian hanged by the Nazis in 1945 for taking part in a plot to kill Hitler, Dietrich Bonhoeffer lived out his Christian commitment to the very end of his life. This collection of correspondence between Bonhoeffer and von Wedemeyer--long anticipated but never before published--offers...
| Author | Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne |
One cannot escape Bourrienne.
Any solid study of Napoleon requires attention be paid to the man he strapped like a fifth appendage to his torso and carried forth to glory. We may wish to skirt his account, filled as it is with envy and pretention. He was an egotistical aristocrat with the gall...
| Author | Eberhard Bethge |
| ISBN | 0800628446 |
Just finished this; it's a beast but was surprised at how readable it was. The fact that the author, Eberhard Bethge, was Bonhoeffer's student at the underground seminary, a close friend and co-conspirator of Bonhoeffer makes the book come alive. Particularly striking is the story of Bonhoeffer's...
