I cried, I felt joy, I felt anger, I found forgiveness. I saw how those people went through horrors yet still hung on to their faith and hope for freedom. This is a part of history that should never be forgotten. These people should never be forgotten. Just two quotes from the book: “How can God remain silent and do nothing in the face of all this evil?” she asked. “He isn’t silent as long as we’re His voice and His hands.” … “nothing any of us will ever face, now or in the future, is out of God’s control.” (  ) cbcmedia | Nov 9, 2023 |  ) debs4jc | Jun 28, 2022 | ) eliorajoy | Jan 16, 2022 | To tell that all in one fictionalised account is difficult, and in this case the author has not completely pulled it off. However, it touches on many of the aspects of this extremely difficult situation, especially how a firm faith in God helped many of the key characters put everything into perspective. This book has multiple threads of the lives of three families that weave together. Difficult, even life threatening decisions have to be made. A few other characters are part of the story (a policeman, a few key resistance contacts, hosts of 'onderduikers') but for the most part they are bystanders to the main story. I hesitate to criticise the author - there is so much to tell; perhaps I already know to much from listening to individuals who were there as witnesses and actively involved. However, if you are new to this period of Dutch history, please read this book. It's well worth it. By the way, do read Lynn Austin's books on Old Testament times; absolutely at the top of must-reads in my opinion. (  ) robeik | Sep 26, 2021 |
 BE A SUPERHERO IN THE KITCHEN by Donna Glass isn’t just a children’s book it is a unique cookbook with recipes that kids can make with their mom’s help. I’ve made several of recipes kind of likes these over the years but there are a lot of really neat and different recipes. I really like that the recipes and so very easy to make, with only a few ingredients. The directions are easy enough to understand that older children can understand them fine. I would suggest an adult help with making these. When my niece comes, I plan to make some of these with her. I love the oh so fun recipe names, like Boomtastic Butter Cookies, Magical Cereal Bars and Powerful Potato Cakes. And I love of layout of the book and how the recipe with the ingredients, directions and Super Hero Tips. Author Donna Glass does such a outstanding job putting this book together and writing this awesome story. This is a much needed book for teaching children how to cook, and teaching them how to get around in the kitchen. And Alejandro Chamberlain does a fabulous job with the illustrations of the kitchen and children working to make the yummy recipes. The characters are so very adorable, and everything in the kitchen is so amazing. I love the colors, so fit for children to love looking at. I even love looking at the pages and reading the story. And as always I love when the illustrations and words on each page fit so perfectly well together, like they do on each page in this book. After listening to the story, little ones can look at the pictures and tell their own story. I highly recommend this amazing book for you and your children. You will have many fun times in the kitchen with your kids. A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book.

"For fans of bestselling WWII fiction comes a powerful novel from Lynn Austin about three women whose lives are instantly changed when the Nazis invade the neutral Netherlands, forcing each into a complicated dance of choice and consequence. Lena is a wife and mother who farms alongside her husband in the tranquil countryside. Her faith has always been her compass, but can she remain steadfast when the questions grow increasingly complex and the answers could mean the difference between life and death? Lena's daughter Ans has recently moved to the bustling city of Leiden, filled with romantic notions of a new job and a young Dutch police officer. But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy. Miriam is a young Jewish violinist who immigrated for the safety she thought Holland would offer. She finds love in her new country, but as her family settles in Leiden, the events that follow will test them in ways she could never have imagined. The Nazi invasion propels these women onto paths that cross in unexpected, sometimes-heartbreaking ways. Yet the story that unfolds illuminates the surprising endurance of the human spirit and the power of faith and love to carry us through"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
