God's Word is the most precious possession we have. It is timeless truth that should be treasured. Thankfully, we have a perfect Bible in the English language -- the King James Version. "Our Blessed Book" is an in-depth study of the divine inspiration, providential preservation, and the careful translation of the Bible. It is not dedicated to criticism but devoted to helping you discover the infallibility of God's Word. Unfortunately, only 41% of American adults strongly believe that the Bible is totally accurate in all that it teaches, and many of the Millennial generation have been deceived into accepting the English Standard Version and New King James Version as the inerrant Scripture.Whether you are a seeker of truth or a scoffer of it, join with Caleb Garraway in this insightful book as he studies how God inspired the Bible word for word and preserved it through the generations of time. Read how he discredits the Book of Mormon, the Qur'an, and the Apocrypha, examines various evidences that prove divine inspiration, and shows the historical and textual origins of the King James Version compared to the rest of the modern English translations. "Our Blessed Book" is a "bottom shelf read" as Caleb expertly and delicately presents to his readers the authentic legitimacy of Scripture and the undeniable proofs that the King James Version is the Word of God for English-speaking people.

From The New York Times bestselling author of Prayers for Sale comes the moving and powerful story of a small town after a devastating avalanche, and the life changing effects it has on the people who live there Whiter Than Snow opens in 1920, on a spring afternoon in Swandyke, a small town near Colorado's Tenmile Range. Just moments after four o'clock, a large split of snow separates from Jubilee Mountain high above the tiny hamlet and hurtles down the rocky slope, enveloping everything in its path including nine young children who are walking home from school. But only four children survive. Whiter Than Snow takes you into the lives of each of these families: There's Lucy and Dolly Patch—two sisters, long estranged by a shocking betrayal. Joe Cobb, Swandyke's only black resident, whose love for his daughter Jane forces him to flee Alabama. There's Grace Foote, who hides secrets and scandal that belies her genteel façade. And Minder Evans, a civil war veteran who considers his cowardice his greatest sin. Finally, there's Essie Snowball, born Esther Schnable to conservative Jewish parents, but who now works as a prostitute and hides her child's parentage from all the world. Ultimately, each story serves as an allegory to the greater theme of the novel by echoing that fate, chance, and perhaps even divine providence, are all woven into the fabric of everyday life. And it's through each character's defining moment in his or her past that the reader understands how each child has become its parent's purpose for living. In the end, it's a novel of forgiveness, redemption, survival, faith and family.

One woman’s memories of her deportation to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp for Women in July 1941. On February 4, 1941, Nanda Herbermann, a German Catholic writer and editor, was arrested by the Gestapo in Münster, Germany. Accused of collaboration with the Catholic movement, Herbermann was deported to Ravensbrück Concentration Camp for Women in July 1941 and later released upon direct orders from Heinrich Himmler on March 19, 1943. Although she was instructed by the Gestapo not to reveal information about the camp, Herbermann soon began to record her memories of her experiences. The Blessed Abyss was originally published in German under the imprint of the Allied occupation forces in 1946, and it now appears in English for the first time. Hester Baer and Elizabeth Baer include an extensive introduction that situates Herbermann's work within current debates about gender and the Holocaust and provides historical and biographical information about Herbermann, Ravensbrück, and the Third Reich.
