HEAVEN HELPS OUT is a memoir written by an adventurer, who lives life to the fullest. It details the heart stopping pain, suffering and the profound loneliness suffered at the end of the ladders of a new high rise fire fighting truck, when the victim's feet and legs are crushed. It tells of the futile efforts of firefighters trying to perform the rescue, but most of all it tells of a powerful spiritual experience that happened to the victim, during his hour of rescue. It tells of the flood of realizations, love and enlightenment that flowed through him when the spiritual manifestation rolled back two thousand years and turned them into two days.
How the Jews Defeated Hitler
One of the most common assumptions about World War II is that the Jews did not actively or effectively resist their own extermination at the hands of the Nazis. In this powerful book, Benjamin Ginsberg convincingly argues that the Jews not only resisted the Germans but actually played a major role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. The question, he contends, is not whether the Jews fought but where and by what means. True, many Jews were poorly armed, outnumbered, and without resources, but Ginsberg shows persuasively that this myth of passivity is solely that--a myth. Instead, the Jews resisted strongly in four key ways: through their leadership role in organizing the defense of the Soviet Union, their influence and scientific research in the United States, their contribution to allied espionage and cryptanalysis, and their importance in European resistance movements. In this compelling, cogent history, we discover that Jews contributed powerfully to Hitler's defeat.

Christian Science on Trial
In Christian Science on Trial, historian Rennie B. Schoepflin shows how Christian Science healing became a viable alternative to medicine at the end of the nineteenth century. Christian Scientists did not simply evangelize for their religious beliefs; they engaged in a healing business that offered a therapeutic alternative to many patients for whom medicine had proven unsatisfactory. Tracing the evolution of Christian Science during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Christian Science on Trial illuminates the movement's struggle for existence against the efforts of organized American medicine to curtail its activities. Physicians exhibited an anxiety and tenacity to triviali...
