Sinopsis

The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the earth is flat. Yet there are those who insist that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps is nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy. Sixty years ago, such notions were the province of pseudohistorians who argued that Hitler never meant to kill the Jews, and that only a few hundred thousand died in the camps from disease; they also argued that the Allied bombings of Dresden and other cities were worse than any Nazi offense, and that the Germans were the “true victims” of World War II.For years, those who made such claims were dismissed as harmless cranks operating on the lunatic fringe. But as time goes on, they have begun to gain a hearing in respectable arenas, and now, in the first full-scale history of Holocaust denial, Deborah Lipstadt shows how—despite tens of thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence—this irrational idea not only has continued to gain adherents but has become an international movement, with organized chapters, “independent” research centers, and official publications that promote a “revisionist” view of recent history.Lipstadt shows how Holocaust denial thrives in the current atmosphere of value-relativism, and argues that this chilling attack on the factual record not only threatens Jews but undermines the very tenets of objective scholarship that support our faith in historical knowledge. Thus the movement has an unsuspected power to dramatically alter the way that truth and meaning are transmitted from one generation to another.

    In this Victorian adventure novel, a British missionary faces a perilous trial by fire when he is called to bring the Word of the Lord to Central Africa.Rev. Thomas Owen was committed to tending his flock in the English Midlands—that is until a visiting preacher recounted his harrowing experience in central Africa. A warlike tribe known as the Sons of Fire demanded proof of God’s miracles, and failure to deliver proof meant death. Having barely escaped to tell the tale, the man was shocked by Owen’s determination to undertake the mission himself. Living among the Sons of Fire and learning their language, Owen begins to win their respect. But even as he survives the trials established by their god, the Sons of Fire remain suspicious of the new religion. Only when war breaks out among them will the true power of faith be revealed.

    An ominous butterfly house. A sinister legacy. An untraceable killer.  
     
    In 1921, Marian Arnold, the heiress to a brewing baron's empire, seeks solace in the glass butterfly house on her family's Wisconsin estate as Prohibition and the deaths of her parents cast a long shadow over her shrinking world. When Marian's sanctuary is invaded by nightmarish visions, she grapples with the line between hallucinations of things to come and malevolent forces at play in the present. With dead butterflies as the killer's ominous signature, murders unfold at a steady pace. Marian, fearful she might be next, enlists the help of her childhood friend Felix, a war veteran with his own haunted past. 
     
    In the present day, researcher Remy Shaw becomes entangled in an elderly biographer's quest to uncover the truth behind Marian Arnold's mysterious life and the unsolved murders linked to an infamous serial killer. Joined by Marian's great-great-grandson, can Remy expose the evil that lurks beneath broken wings? Or will the dark legacy surrounding the manor and its glass house destroy yet another generation?

    Edited for Modern Readers, These Wartime Sermons from John Owen Explore God's Judgment and Sovereignty
    Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, missions, and ecclesiology. His classic works—which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper—remain influential, but until now haven't been offered in an easy-to-read collection.
    The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume project that brings together all of Owen's original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 18 includes 5 sermons that Owen delivered at a time of civil war, addressing matters such as providence and toleration. Together they outline his vision for a lasting settlement for both church and state. With extensive introductions by editor Martyn C. Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.
    
    - Edited and Formatted for Modern Readers: Presents Owen's original writing, newly typeset with insightful introductions, outlines, text breaks, headings, and footnotes
    - Part of the Complete Works of John Owen Project: This collection, which includes material not previously published, will release 40 hardcover volumes over a number of years
    - Perfect for Churches and Schools: Written for students, pastors, theologians, and those interested in the sermons of John Owen

Will they ever let up? And in the midst of the chaos, can Bailey keep herself from falling in love with her rescuer all over again?
