Sailing with Paul - Simple Papers for Young People

H. A. Ironside

Sinopsis

There are many lessons to be learned from a careful study of Luke’s account of Paul’s voyage to Rome. Taken literally, it shows us, in a wonderful way. The personal care of the Lord Jesus Christ for His beloved servant in a time of great stress and difﬁculty. The particular incident recorded in Acts 27:21-26 is that to which I especially desire to draw each reader’s attention.
 
For long, weary days and nights neither sun nor stars had been visible. The captain of the ship was in despair; the mariners, hopeless. Then it was that Paul, “the prisoner of the Lord” (Ephesians 4:1)—how lovely a title: not a prisoner of Caesar, nor of Rome, but of the Lord!—became the comforter of all in the ship, comforting them with the comfort wherewith he had just been comforted of God. For to him an angel of the Lord had appeared, standing by him, and saying. “Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.”
 
This settled it for Paul. He knew that not a man on that ship would be lost, whatever might become of the vessel itself. So he says, “Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.” And so it was, for the ship was wrecked: but every one who had sailed with Paul was saved from drowning and reached the shore alive.

When Twilight Breaks

Sarah Sundin

Munich, 1938. Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country--or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed--and wake up the folks back home. 
 
In another part of the city, American graduate student Peter Lang is working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party--to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can't get off his mind. 
 
This electric standalone novel from fan-favorite Sarah Sundin puts you right at the intersection of pulse-pounding suspense and heart-stopping romance.
