  Thirty Degrees Cattywonkus by James Bell - It doesn't take a heap of leaving to make any house a nightmare. One vanishing door will do nastily. 
  It was a tremendous house. And they were newlyweds. And were still a mite flighty. And for a while that accounted for the whole thing. 
  At the moment, it seemed to Ernie Lane that in a house which even the real estate agent said had "either" eleven or twelve rooms, it was quite conceivable that he and Melinee had overlooked that extra room. 
  After all, they had only been living at 1312 Cedar Lane for four days and had hardly had time to make a complete survey of the place. 
  Now it was quite different. For Ernie Lane had stopped walking hurriedly past that extra door, had stopped giving it only casual curiosity, had even stopped wondering afterward. 
  This night he had come home a bit tired, gone directly to greet his loving wife, and then decided to put a stop to the gnawing question. 
  While Melinee fried the chicken, Ernie walked carefully and wordlessly to the dim hallway. He went past the staircase, past the telephone, to the darkest spot between the living room and the study. He stood for a strange moment—there was no extra door. 
  He felt the refinished wall, his fingertips searching for hidden panels. There was none. 
  "Supper's ready," Melinee called. "Ernie?" 
  But it had been there last night, the night before, the night before that, and the very first night the real estate agent brought them over. In fact, he recalled, that was the reason the agent had been uncertain about the number of rooms. And why had he passed it off as a joke, simply turning from the extra door without opening it?

  This is a truth about growing up. 
   
  Once in your life, sometime after your first memory but before you can drive a car, something is going to happen to you that doesn’t happen to anyone else you know. It might be something good. It might be something bad, or special, or funny, or shocking. 
   
  For Millie, it’s something really sad. Lolo, her neighbors’ infant daughter, dies—unexpectedly, suddenly, inexplicably—on the night Millie babysits. 
   
  There’s nothing she could have done. There’s nothing she can do now. So how does she go on?  
   
  She does what you’ll do. She finds her way. 
   
  This poignant and profound coming-of-age story portrays a tragic experience of responsibility and its poisonous flip side: guilt. Cathartic and important, it’s an honest and empathetic portrait of a girl at her most vulnerable—a mess of grief,  
  love, and ultimately, acceptance—who must reckon with those most difficult of demons: death … and life.

  Richard Wurmbrand - Love Your...

  "As he tried to think calmly about faith, Richard realized that he didn't want anything to do with Christianity, even if it did turn out to be true. He could only imagine life as a Christian Jew, and what he imagined was awful. No one in his or her right mind would choose such a path. At least, Richard was sure that he would not choose it." Richard Wurmbrand, founder of Voice of the Martyrs, was once a young atheist determined to experience everything the world had to offer. Yet he regretted that God did not exist, wishing that a heart of love beat somewhere in the universe. When the Romanian found that heart of love in Jesus Christ, he had the courage to serve Christ unswervingly even as his homeland sided with the Nazis and then sank into the new horrors of post-war Communism. Stubbornly respecting the worst enemies as fellow human beings and repaying hatred with love, the beloved pastor would spend years as a prisoner of the state, tortured and beaten, for preaching the gospel of peace.
