Book Description
Nicky Marlow needs a job. He’s engaged to be married and the employment market is pretty slim in Britain in 1937. So when his fiancé points out the Spartacus Machine Tool notice, he jumps at the chance. After all, he speaks Italian and he figures he’ll be able to endure Milan for a year, long enough to save some money. Soon after he arrives, however, he learns the sinister truth of his predecessor’s death and finds himself courted by two agents with dangerously different agendas. In the process, Marlow realizes it’s not so simple to just do the job he’s paid to do in fascist Italy on the eve of a world war.

Book Description
Alys’s whole world was comprised of the history project that was due, her upcoming violin audition, being held tightly in the arms of her boyfriend, Ben, and laughing with her best friend, Delilah. At least it was—until she found herself on the wrong end of a shotgun in the school library. Her suburban high school had become one of those places you hear about on the news—a place where some disaffected youth decided to end it all and take as many of his teachers and classmates with him as he could. Except, in this story, that youth was Alys’s own brother, Luke. He killed fifteen others and himself, but spared her—though she’ll never know why. Alys’s downward spiral begins instantly, and there seems to be no bottom. A heartbreaking and beautifully told story.

Book Description
The rapid rise in Russia's power over the course of the last ten years has been matched by a stunning lack of international diplomacy on the part of its president, Vladimir Putin. One consequence of this, when combined with Europe's rapidly shifting geopolitics, is that the West is on a possible path toward nuclear war. Former deputy commander of NATO General Sir Richard Shirreff speaks out about this very real peril in this call to arms, a novel that is a barely disguised version of the truth. In chilling prose, it warns allied powers and the world at large that we risk catastrophic nuclear conflict if we fail to contain Russia's increasingly hostile actions. In a detailed plotline that draws upon Shirreff's years of experience in tactical military strategy, Shirreff lays out the most probable course of action Russia will take to expand its influence, predicting that it will begin with an invasion of the Baltic states. And with GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump recently declaring that he might not come to the aid of these NATO member nations were he to become president, the threat of an all-consuming global conflict is clearer than ever. This critical, chilling fictional look at our current geopolitical landscape, written by a top NATO commander, is both timely and necessary-a must-read for any fan of realistic military thrillers as well as all concerned citizens.

Book Description
It has been and is widely reported that there is a Culture War raging in America. The Culture War has been largely looked upon as a struggle between Democrat and Republican, Conservative and Liberal, Religious and Secular. Author Paul Camuti believes the root of the Culture War is spiritual. "Sound The Alarm: The Spiritual Side of the Culture War," examines that very aspect, the spiritual root. The book not only examines the spiritual root, it also goes on to show that to win the Culture War, America not only needs a spiritual awakening, America needs a spiritual revolution, ala the Book of Acts. Paul Camuti was ordained Assistant Pastor in September 1986 of Berean Fellowship, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The church later changed its name to Tulsa Harvest Church. In 1996 Paul and his wife, Deborah began to feel called to start a church in Bixby, Oklahoma. That calling was realized in April of 2000 when they founded Restoration Covenant Church. After several years of existence Restoration Covenant Church became Restoration Covenant Ministries. Paul and Deborah are currently serving as leaders at Real Church in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. Paul is serving in the capacity of Associate Pastor. The Senior Pastors are Scott and Christine Lovett. Contact Restoration Covenant Ministries by writing to P.O. Box 56, Jenks OK 74037 or by emailing [email protected].
