-
#The White Rose Resists#  is  a  novel  during the   challenging   time of World War II Amanda Barratt has   written  more than  a dozen books and  is  an EPCA  winning author.  The cover   of the book  shows  what  the  secrets the  reader will enter into. There were so many  horrendous    events going on  during World War  11.  It is not fair  that   innocent people   would be killed because of their race.    This   book  is  so  carefully  researched. The  world we enter into is interesting and gripping when you read this book.  The  reader will have a hard  time  stopping and then the book  is  over!  There is a group in the book who resist  the horrible  events going on. They are willing  to risk all to  make   the world see  what is going on is not   right or should not be allowed.   It is important we  stand  by what  we  believe and not  waver.   We  must  be different.    It is  hard for this  group  "The White Rose" t0 resist is a group  ,makes a stand and be different.    The resistance  members   might get  caught and  any  turn!     It is  wonderful to read  about  "This White Rose"  group.    I  like  the descriptions of the characters. The characters  grow on the  reader and the reader  develops an  attachment to them.    Will we  as readers be willing to stand by  what  we  believe and be different even if  we  get   hurt  in the end?     The  setting  is  Munich .  Thank you to  netgalley, the author and the publisher for allowing

 Tell Me the Stories of Jesus  is  by Albert Mohler. Al Mohler  is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He  hosts   The Briefing and "Thinking in Public".  This  book is a Christian living book.  The parables  were written  with an illustration. Jesus wanted  the audience  to think about what  He  was   saying  and then  move  to  recollect   on the deeper meaning  within the parables.  He  wanted the audience   to think  about where their heart is and to apply  the parables  to their life.  If the meaning is given in a straight forward way  it can be easy  to not think about your life because  the meaning  is given  to the audience and they do not have to pause and think  where Jesus is coming from.  The parables are creative. . This book gives great background  for each of the parables. It is very personable.  This book is well written.  It  is a great book for any Christian and for  any pastor. Thank you for netgalley , the publisher and the author f
