The Auschwitz EscapeThe Auschwitz Escape
Joel C. Rosenberg

"Rosenberg's most moving work to date."—Publishers Weekly
Joel Rosenberg is known for writing contemporary thrillers set in the Middle East, with storylines that always seem one step ahead of breaking news headlines. In The Auschwitz Escape, he takes that same "skill to thrill" and wraps it around a dramatic episode in history: Nazi Germany and the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp.

As World War II rages throughout Europe, Jacob Weisz joins the resistance against the maniacal tyrant Adolf Hitler, whose pro-Aryan policies threaten the very lives of Jacob and his family, along with millions of other Jews. When things go wrong, he lands in a hell on earth. But even in the darkest pit, the light of Christ shines. You won't be able to put this one down.

"It's a departure from his usual idiom of contemporary thrillers with Middle East elements," says Publishers Weekly, "but Joel Rosenberg's historical novel, The Auschwitz Escape, debuts characteristically high at #7 on our Hardcover Fiction list."

Joel says, "Given how important the true stories are that inspired this novel—and how eager I am to see people rediscover the lessons of the Holocaust—I'm especially encouraged by the initial reception the book is receiving. Hopefully, as word of mouth continues to spread about The Auschwitz Escape, more and more people—especially young people—will find themselves intrigued and inspired by such true heroes that faced a terrible evil but risked their lives to save others."

Look for The Auschwitz Escape at your favorite online or brick-and-mortar retailer. Learn more about Joel Rosenberg, his books, and his ministry at JoelRosenberg.com, and read his blog at flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com.

The Sentinels of Andersonville
by Tracy Groot

"If the Truth hurts, this devastating story is like a knife to the heart."—Romantic Times Book Review Top Pick

What would you do when the act of extending even the most basic human kindness to ease suffering could get you and your family persecuted for providing aid and comfort to the enemy—or even hanged for treason? The Sentinels of Andersonville, a compelling new novel by Tracy Groot, explores one of the most painful chapters in American history and shows that even under the most atrocious circumstances, love, compassion, and grace can be found wherever God's people set aside their own comfort and safety to do what's right.

Life Support
It Had to Be You
by Candace Calvert

"If you have not added this book to your shopping cart by now, check your pulse. It Had to Be You is a sigh-worthy, coming-into-her-own romance highlighting the importance of family, the necessity of faith, and how losing yourself for the right reasons can open your heart to something beautiful."—USA Today

Demure, spotlight-avoiding Eden Christiansen struggles to get a toehold in the competitive world of journalism while keeping a watchful eye on her rowdy hockey-star brother, Owen. Complicating matters is Eden's undeniable attraction to Jace, a veteran hockey player whose aggressive, bad-boy reputation is familiar to anyone who picks up a newspaper. Could anyone be more inappropriate—or irresistible—to a girl like Eden? Visit SusanMayWarren.com for more about this and Susan's other great reads.
