By the Hand of Men by Irwin Silva A doctor bent on creating life under his own image; to prove to the world that there is no God; only men and science! Creating life from the parts of dead men – which becomes his downfall – a monster to look and resemble men, with great strength, but his lack of understanding makes the monster unpredictable and dangerous, causing the death of both man and monster. Life ends for the first doctor, but begins again when a colleague who studies and believes in the same idea, and has learned from the great doctor, steps into the picture and follows his lead. But unknown to the doctor, the new body parts carry a curse. A dangerous curse, the price death – when the moon is full and the wolf bane blooms, a terror unlike no other walks among men unnoticed.

A heart-broken nurse hunting for her family. A nation ravaged by civil war. Can Charlotte ever return home or will she find only death and misery? Having lost so much during the War to End All Wars, Nurse Charlotte Braninov flees England and returns to Russia. A perilous trip to seek the only family that remains to her takes the young woman deep into the heart of a battle for the future of her nation. Enslaved by the Red Army, she experiences the inhumane reality of living under the control of a totalitarian regime, even as she is hauled from the front lines to a makeshift hospital. Surrounded by the butchery of the People's Revolution, she discovers the decency of her fellow captives. Together, they must fight against starvation, power-hungry communist bureaucrats, and the feared secret police just to survive. Will the insanity of the Bolsheviks engulf her or can Charlotte win the contest for both her life and her soul? Through the Ocean of Fire is the second volume of the By the Hands of Men series. This historical fiction epic by Roy M. Griffis sweeps across four continents in a riveting tale of fate, loss, redemption, and love.

Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
