    AN AMERICAN PROFESSOR TRAPPED IN A GREEK NATIONAL CRISIS ... A DECAYED BODY IN AN ATTIC ... NAZI LEGACY ... NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR NORTH KOREA ... AND LOVE, IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL LOCALES ... Recently-widowed university professor Nathan Radcliff is in Athens to research his book about Anatole Katsaros, a national hero responsible for saving Jewish lives during the Nazi occupation of Greece. When he stumbles across his long-forgotten remains in a dusty attic of the National Archives, Nathan also finds a dossier implicating the hero's son as a Nazi collaborator and the boss of an international crime syndicate known as the Alliance. But the Alliance hears about the discovery and vows to destroy the evidence. When Nathan is nearly killed, an alluring Greek Secret Service Agent spirits him away to an Aegean island where their powerful chemistry promises healing of the past. But their tranquility is soon shattered. Leaving murder in their wake, the Alliance stops at nothing to destroy Nathan and the dossier. Despite involvement by the highest echelons of government, Nathan is betrayed by his protectors, and his daughter is taken hostage. Now the timid professor must garner strength he never knew he had.

    Wendell Nordby was a simple carpenter living in a small Northern California town when he heard the call of God to quit his job and enter a life of faith. A relatively new Christian, Wendell believed a life sold out to Christ required drastic measures to insure his time on earth is maximized for His purposes. On a shoestring, he and his wife, Nancy, obeyed God and started their own contracting business. Their choice required hard work and prayer, and led to a thriving business which provided Wendell both freedom and finances to travel the globe sharing the love of Christ. Out of the Woodwork is a forthright, honest account of a willing servant who made himself available anywhere, anytime, to do the will of God. His journey takes him from a secure but limited existence, to a life filled with miracles, salvations, healings, and deliverance throughout the world. You'll experience travels of faith through post-Communist Russia, the Ukraine, South Africa, Haiti, Mexico, Central America, and Scotland, to name a few. In all, God led Wendell to over 35 countries, where he served anyone willing to hear his story about life in Christ. Not a travelogue or memoir, Out of the Woodwork is a colorfully-written account of how far God can take an ordinary man to extraordinary heights when his heart has been turned completely over to Him. The reader will find excitement, insight, inspiration, and hopefully discover their own life of genuine purpose.

    A whitewashed Spanish village. Golden Greek islands. Vast Egyptian deserts. Trouble. Picking Olives and Breaking Bread, Book One, is a poignant story about a couple who find God, grow spiritually, encounter adventure, trials, and success in some of Europe's most beautiful places. The story begins in Spain where the previous book, Where Wild Olives Grow, leaves off. Jailed in a Spanish village and stricken with hepatitis, Ken and his wife, Barbara--former hippies and brand new Christians--recouperate in a lonely pension. While there, angels disguised as fellow sojourners minister to them. They learn that hope and divine inspiration can restore wasted years. Finally recouperated, they travel to Germany and wind up in a Jesus People commune. Later, they move to Greece where he enrolls in college and she teaches English. They smuggle Bibles into a Communist country. Ken sails the Aegean as a charter skipper to pay the bills. They go on to establish a church in Athens where Ken's entrepreneurial talents provide the means to live for the next nine years. In this true story, Ken nearly dies in a hurricane on an offshore oil rig. He becomes a charter boat skipper, an Austrian ski-tour operator, a carpenter, an engineer in Egypt, an international consultant, the director of a major ministry, and a missionary. The story takes place in the "olive crescent"-Sunny, southern European countries that line the Mediterranean from Turkey to Spain. The couple also lives or works in Egypt, Alaska, Morocco, Texas (a foreign country of sorts), and Hawaii. Another forty or so countries are mentioned. Yes, forty. Tough lessons learned in extraordinary circumstances compells the reader to journey with them ... and gain valuable insight on taking risks and trusting God. The book includes end-of-section discussions and applications.

    When young Mike Spencer gazed at the clouds above his grandfather's farm in Pennsylvania, he knew he would fly someday. Right after Pearl Harbor, he joined the Army Air Corps and was assigned to a P-47 fighter group supporting General Patton's European campaign. Leading his squadron through battles over Bastogne, Remagen, and the infamous Metz bunkers, Mike absorbed more than his share of flak. Ninety-three missions later after fighting in the most difficult battles of the war, he earned the Distinguished Flying Cross. Like most returning service members, Mike faced the transition from war to peace, from active military service to civilian life. The lessons he learned growing up in the country and from wise mentors like his grandfather, helped Mike meet his new life head on. He married Casey, his wartime sweetheart whom he romanced through letters from the front. After taking advantage of the GI Bill to earn a degree at Wharton School of Business, Mike quickly rose to executive leadership in the chemical industry with companies in the United States, Australia, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong. One Man's Journey is an inspiring, philosophical, often humorous perspective of life told by a man unfamiliar with discouragement. Not just an enjoyable read, you'll also find useful tips on how to get the most out of life.

    A True Patriarch There were many sides to John Farhat. His role as husband, father, grandfather, church leader, advisor, and faithful friend are only a few. They all point his nature as a deeply caring individual who lived for his family and others instead of himself. Another side was that of his hard work and entrepreneurial spirit that produced Green Acres Sporting Goods: an enterprise with 20,000 square feet of everything a sportsman could want. Today, Green Acres is one of Northeast Florida's largest privately held sporting goods retailers. Still another side of John's life is his immigrant roots. In 1953, he and his new bride, Jeanette, travelled from Ramallah in Palestine, to Jacksonville, Florida, where they fulfilled the Great American Dream. John's exemplary life that spanned 83 years is the account of a loving man who worked tirelessly overcome great obstacles, raise a successful family, and impart an enduring legacy. Such is the role of a true Patriarch.

    In 1973, Howard Long wrote the president of California-based Western Growers-a powerful association representing half of America's produce suppliers-notifying them of his intent to sue because of restrictive lettuce shipping practices. Twelve months later, Long's challenge literally changed the way the industry did business. His victory marked the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship between McDonald's Corporation and his company, Coronet Foods: one of the world's largest suppliers of pre-cut produce to the fast-food industry. Fields of Green is the account of a man's vision and entrepreneurial drive that took him from a small town on the banks of the Ohio River to the heights of a world-class business with plants in five countries and over 2,000 employees. It is a poignant account of victory in a tough industry, Long's failing health, the demise of his life's work, and his sustaining faith in God.
