Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943, and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life.

Jonathan Beecher, a middle-aged widower and small-town store owner, has never asked for much. But lately, all too much is being asked of him. The bombing of Pearl Harbor plunges America into World War II and deeply fractures Jonathan's own family. His eldest son, a civilian contractor, is trapped on a Japanese-occupied island in the Pacific. Jonathan's feckless younger son ignores his father's pleas to stay home and joins the army.

Story predictable and main character so whiny
Reviewed: 02-10-23
Not a fan! Finally skimmed through story and it still went no where. Horrible storyline. Jonathan the main character is so whiny and so selfish. The whole story goes back to him focusing on his earnings with God. Talks about God, but never about Christ or sin. It is always what he is doing or not doing to get his way in life. Not a true depiction of Christianity.
The history aspect in the story is about the only good part, but even that is not much of the story.
I don’t recommend wasting time on this book.

In Reformation Women, Rebecca Vandoodewaard introduces listeners to 12 16th-century women who are not as well known today as contemporaries like Katie Luther and Lady Jane Grey. Providing an example to Christians today of strong service to Christ and his church, these influential, godly women were devoted to Reformation truth, in many cases provided support for their husbands, practiced hospitality, and stewarded their intellectual abilities.

Beautiful story of God working in the lives of women
Reviewed: 02-05-23
What a beautiful book! I almost wish I had read the conclusion first and then again at the end. The author summarizes so beautifully the wonderful work of the Lord in the lives of these women. Women in a variety of roles that served faithfully despite so many life hardships and that pointed all to the amazing work of Christ in their lives. This will not be the last read for me. I am going to listen to this book again, but with my daughters. A book that reminds women that our identity is not in ourselves and our roles, but in Christ.
