Angels of a Lower Flight: One Woman's Mission to Save a Country . . . One Child at a Time
by Susie Scott KrabacherThe inspiring story of how one woman's message of hope and opportunity will change the lives of an entire generation. Three schools, two orphanages, a hospital, and an abandoned-infant home -- constructed in the poorest country in the western hemisphere -- were the result of one quick television commercial. The ad was for a charity, asking for donations to help impoverished children in a third world country. Though author Susie Scott Krabacher had a little money to give, what she wanted was to hold the hand of every child she saw and tell them that they were not forgotten and that they too were important. When Susie called the charity, it wanted only monetary donations -- and every other overseas nonprofit she contacted couldn't or wouldn't take on an inexperienced volunteer. So Susie set out to change the children's lives on her own. In this heartbreaking and inspiring memoir, Susie Scott Krabacher tells how the pain in her past caused her to doubt if God really loved and protected her. From her abusive childhood to her experiences as a Playboy centerfold during the 1980s, Susie details with frank honesty how she lost her faith along the way and how her experiences helping children in Haiti, an impoverished nation only five hundred miles from Florida, brought God back into her life. In a country where 10 percent of all children die before the age of four, Susie mounted a brave effort to provide not just charity but opportunity. By treating the children she helps as individuals, Susie gives them the tools to save their own country. Although some of the children she's tirelessly worked to rescue do not survive, Susie will never again lose her faith.

Joy to the World
by Olivia M. Cloud"Is there some long-lost hope that you just cannot forget? God often comes through these thoughts. It is God at work in you." "Track what we call our good fortune and we shall see God clearly in our lives," says the Reverend Gardner C. Taylor in his message. He asked the question "Did you ever sit among your family and, strangely, feel a thankfulness which made you somewhat shamefacedly brush a tear away? You heard the angels sing!" "Christmas is a time of establishing and celebrating many traditions," begins the Reverend Paula White in her reflection. This is but a sampling of dozens of messages on the true meaning of Christmas included in this first book to celebrate the spirituality of Christmas by bringing together a diverse collection of messages from Christian leaders from across the country.

No Graven Image
by Elisabeth ElliotMargaret Sparhawk, twenty-five years old and long dedicated to the ideal of missionary service, settled among the Quichua Indians in the high Andes of Ecuador to bring them the message of her faith. She knew, in theory, the difficulties she was likely to face, but she was young, confident, sincere. How could she fail? Making inroads among the primitive mountain people proved painfully slow, but Margaret was stubborn and persistent, and at last, through Pedro Chimbu and his children (while his wife watched suspiciously from the corner of their hut), she learned their language, told them of her beliefs, began to translate the Gospels. Then came a medical triumph (the white sehorita delivered a feet-first baby and it lived!) and the word spread. The Indians who came to her classes and her clinics were open to other persuasions as well. But nothing in her sheltered life had prepared her for the shock of finding out that she, as well as the Indians, had much to learn. An innocent act, a terrible tragedy--and Margaret faced her God and herself in a final testing. Readers of this moving and dramatic novel will find Margaret's story absorbing and provocative. And in the questions it gives rise to--of ends and means, of high motive and unforeseeable result, of the obligations a benefactor really assumes--there is meaning for everyone whose sense of life requires service beyond the self.

Eyewitness Auschwitz: three years in the gas chambers
by Filip Müller Susanne FlatauerFilip Müller came to Auschwitz with one of the earliest transports from Slovakia in April 1942 and began working in the gassing installations and crematoria in May. He was still alive when the gassings ceased in November 1944. He saw multitudes come and disappear; by sheer luck he survived. Müller is neither a historian nor a psychologist; he is a source-one of the few prisoners who saw the Jewish people die and lived to tell about it. Eyewitness Auschwitz is thus one of the key documents of the Holocaust. "A shattering, centrally important testimony."-From the Foreword by Yehuda Bauer "Riveting...It is a tale of unprecedented, incomparable horror. Profoundly, intensely painful; but it is essential reading."-JewishPress Features
