Esther had never seen anything so beautiful! It was her mother's heirloom necklace, covered with jewels representing the twelve tribes of Israel. "May it always be near her," her father prayed, "reminding her of Your never-ending presence no matter where she goes." The year is 1944, and sixteen-year-old Esther is forced from her home in Amsterdam and taken to Auschwitz. She is left devastated and alone - her faith tested to its limits. Because of Esther's rare beauty, SS Officer Kurt Gerstein chooses her to be part of his plan for survival. During this plan, God uses Esther's inner beauty and vibrant faith to revive Kurt's Christian beliefs. Not only does Kurt's love for God increase, but so does his admiration for Esther. This admiration turns into something much more. Can she accept that his Jesus is the Messiah? And will she ever leave this place, much less keep her promise to Gabriel, her high school love? Join Esther on this journey of perseverance and hope, in which even through the darkest hour, God proves His ever-loving care. "I didn't want to put this book down! From the first page, I was captivated. The author masterfully takes you on a journey inside the life of a World War II family and the events during that time. Twelve Smooth Stones is a must-read for anyone interested in World War II and God's ultimate redemption!" (critic review)

In 1746, David Brainerd visited an Indian on the shores of the Susquehanna River where Williamsport, Pennsylvania now stands. It was his most westward visit and at the time he suffered greatly from tuberculosis of which he died just fourteen months later. We will never know the eternal effects of his preaching but the question is the stuff of which fiction is made of. Ahanu, one of the last of the Susquehannock tribe, is disillusioned, deeply bitter, and on his own until he reaches the Great Island. On his way to the Island, he joins three other young braves who seek revenge for the changes forced upon them by the White man. But Ahanu finds that murdering innocent settlers will not satisfy his need for revenge. He has also discovered other feelings when he first lays eyes on Siskia, the chief's daughter. She wants nothing to do with him for her heart was promised to another--Pontiac, a young man full of ambition. But Pontiac's profession as a Praying Indian presses her father into action. They have lost enough of their heritage. He will not lose his daughter to the White man's God! Spirit Rock follows the lives of Ahanu and Siskia as they find themselves in the throes of the French and Indian War, the western migration of Pennsylvania's tribes, and the horrors of the Gnadenhutten Massacre. But through it all, the faith which they have found proves to be the anchor that will keep them safely secured on the True Rock, Jesus Christ.
