  In "The Trial," Franz Kafka plunges readers into the surreal and troubling world of Josef K., who awakens one day to find himself inexplicably arrested. Without understanding his crime or accusers, Josef navigates a Kafkaesque labyrinth of bureaucratic indifference and the grotesque machinations of an opaque legal system. This masterful narrative probes the absurdity of institutional power, the fragility of human dignity, and the elusive quest for justice. Kafka's tale remains a timeless reflection on the individual versus the unfathomable forces of society.

  Sea of Tranquility is a sweeping, time-bending novel that explores the fragility of civilization, the persistence of art, and the nature of reality itself. Spanning centuries—from the Canadian wilderness in 1912 to a lunar colony in the far future—the story follows a cast of characters connected by a mysterious anomaly that suggests time may not be as linear as it seems. As pandemics echo across eras and lives intersect in unexpected ways, the novel weaves a haunting meditation on existence, memory, and the enduring human drive to seek meaning in chaos.

One of the first leaders was a partying university dropout who met Christ and was transformed into a fiery preacher, confronting and challenging the greatest reformers of the day. He became co-founder of the Anabaptist movement, which gave rise to the Amish and Mennonites. Excellent for supplemental reading in a Christian history course!
