Audiobook
| Here for the first time in English are the original stories told
by well-known French Pastor Andre Trocme as he stood by the huge
lighted tree in the church at Le Chambon sur Lignon on Christmas Day
each year. Excellent for both children and adults. "May the reader
remember that several of these stories were written during the
occupation of France by Hitler," the author says in his introduction.
"The gospel of the birth, the death, and the resurrection of Christ was
the only valid answer to the diabolical horrors perpetrated by the
princes of this world." Trocme, as the Protestant pastor, his wife,
Magda, along with many others, are credited with saving the lives of
thousands of refugees, many of them Jewish children, by hiding them in
the area. Nelly Trocme was a teenage during those treacherous days.
These tales, many based on biblical stories, include charming
fantasy, colorful angels and animals, and a sense of surviving the
dangers which surround all of us. Among the stories are "The Angel
Who Didn't Sing," "The Church Built with Snow," and "The Rebellion of
the Animals." | |

| Michael Bruhn, his younger sister Gudryn, and their widowed mother
live in a castle in Moravia. Madame Bruhn's field workers had fled two
months before when her husband died, fearing he had the plague. She now
illegally welcomed Hutterites to her estate to farm the land, giving
them permission to build a Bruderhof because she felt they worshipped
God in the right way. When a doctor wearing ragged clothing
appeared at their gate, Michael thought he, too, must be a Hutterite.
He learned later that this was the famed doctor, Paracelsus. When
Michael's sister, Gudryn, became ill, this 'doctor in rags' was able to
help her. Michael was impressed and began to plan when he could be a
doctor. And then tragedy struck the Bruhn household. They were
arrested along with the Hutterites. Their land was taken by King
Ferdinand. Michael was put into chains with the Hutterites to become a
galley slave. Through an exciting escape Michael found Paracelsus.
He decided to become both a Hutterite and a missionary doctor all
because of Paracelsus, a 'doctor in rags,' who helped people.

| What was the mystery behind the printing of King James Bible in
1611? Who was the secret editor who published the work of 54 different
translators and made the Bible sing? Before Nat Culver, a son of a translator, finds out answers to
these questions, he is plunged into a series of baffling incidents concerning accusations made against his
father. Why was his father being called a traitor? Who was this secret enemy? Could it be one of the
translators? Or did the accusations concern the threat of a Catholic uprising, like another Gunpowder Plot?
With the help of Button, servant to King James' right-hand man, Nat discovers his father's enemy and
why this man was a fanatic. Along the way, Nat discovers, too, more about the Bible than he ever thought
possible. Copyright 2003. | |

But soon Robert sees how Wesley's preaching changes the lives of many people. He hears people talk about being "converted," but isn't sure what it means. Robert and his father start going to Wesley's meetings whenever they can. Gradually, Robert begins to understand what Wesley's preaching is all about. As he allows God to work in his life, Robert finds that his own heart, like Wesley's, is strangely warmed. For children ages 9-14 years old. | |

| Johann Gutenberg is working on printing the first Bible with type.
Twelve-year-old Hans Dunne is planning on being a scribe and copying
the Bible by hand. But circumstances change and he finds himself
working in Gutenberg's shop as an apprentice printer. Soon, Hans
finds himself in the middle of a type-stealing mystery. Herr Fust, the
village banker, wants Gutenberg's type and tries every possible way to
get his hands on it. Gutenberg is deep in debt and has borrowed from
everyone in town. Gutenberg is sure that he will be able to pay
everyone back once the Bible is printed, but he is running out of time.
Will Hans, and the other pressmen be able to keep Herr Fust from
getting the type? Will they be able to finish the Bible so many people
will be able to read and learn from it? The National Association of
Christian Schools honored Ink on His Fingers as one of the two best
children's books with a Christian message released in 1972. For
children ages 9-14 years old. | |
