Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman that follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall.The novel revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are coloured by psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness", and the literary ancestor of writers like Marcel Proust and James Joyce.

  The History of Kings is vividly brought to life in this emotionally charged narrative of King Josiah and his contemporaries. Although the major portion of this novel centers upon the life and reign of King Josiah in particular, his grandfather King Manasseh, and father King Amon, are also vividly portrayed in the early chapters of this book to illustrate the conditions under which the child Prince Josiah matured and came of age along with many youthful life adventures and experiences that helped to mold him into the great King and leader of his people that he was. 
  While the Scriptural history of the Kings is honorably held to with nothing sugar-coated or glossed over, much of what history does not tell us is also realistically included in this account, (such as King Manasseh's prison sentence in Assyria), to create a seamlessly flowing storyline, complete with the customs and lifestyle of ancient Judah, the beauty of the land, and many unique surprises and gems of wisdom that you will surely find to be well worth your reading and or listening time. The uncompromising integrity and strength of character that King Josiah displayed during an age of vile corruption is a shining historical legacy that will encourage your faith to stand strong against the many challenges of our modern times.

  One Woman’s Remarkable Escape from Nazi Germany 
  The peaceful farm life of a teenage girl in Germany is abruptly upended when WWII comes knocking at her family’s door. One month before her sixteenth birthday, Mildred “Mickchen” Schindler and her family are captured by Russian Soldiers. Having already survived life in Hitler’s Nazi Germany, they now face the terror of a new enemy—Stalin’s Red Army. 
  Driven from their home, Mildred and her family become refugees along with a sad, slow-moving caravan of other families who have suffered the same fate. Cleverly disguised by her mother, Mildred avoids being taken to a work camp until one morning when authorities arrive unexpectedly. Her father has already been taken by Russian soldiers, and now she is taken from her mother and brother. 
  Mildred recounts, in meticulous detail, her treacherous journey and the roller coaster of raw emotions she experiences —fear, regret, loneliness, humility, perseverance, and defiance. Mildred’s odyssey of making her way home and finding her family in a war-torn countryside takes many riveting twists and turns. The discovery of a secret, hidden document offers hope for a brighter future. 
  From harrowing to heartwarming, this memoir provides a unique perspective of a Gentile girl’s road to resilience and her fortitude against all odds to forge a life filled with love and laughter. 
  Surviving Hitler, Evading Stalin is a remarkable testimony to the strength of the unconquerable human spirit and an endearing account of God’s faithfulness in the midst of faithless circumstances.
