  HE SURVIVED THE NAZI TERROR…NOW CAN HE FACE HIS OWN SON?

  Jacob Horowitz is a man with an untold story—the tale of his former life of terror and persecution at the hands of the Nazis. It’s a story that may never be known…because Jacob is dying.

  But when the Jewish business tycoon receives an invitation to visit Pierre, a friend and former member of the Belgian underground, Jacob decides he must return once again to the land of his nightmares—and take Isaac, his estranged son, with him.

  In this powerful, vivid, and fast-paced narrative set alternately in the trauma of his youth and his complex present, an aging and embittered Jacob must choose whether or not he will reconcile with his son, his past, his God, and himself.

  WHEN YOUR MIND IS THE BATTLEGROUND

  A heavenly battle is raging for the hearts and minds of a young co-ed, a college, and a nation. In this work of fiction, Harvard University is a centuries-old battleground in the struggle between good and evil, and one student has no idea she’s about to be thrust onto the front lines.

  Claire Rivers arrives at Harvard an enthusiastic freshman but is ill prepared for the challenges she encounters to her Christian faith. Students and professors who proclaim “tolerance” and revel in alternative lifestyles greet her beliefs with disdain—even hostility. But Claire soon faces an even greater challenge…

  Working with a godly professor and protected by unseen members of the heavenly host, she uncovers disturbing information of a shocking plot against veritas—God’s truth—at the university and beyond. Will Claire risk all by helping to expose and transform the darkness—or give in to it?
