Born under the Hammer and Sickle
Rita Hill was born in Russia during the time its dictator Stalin was purging the country of possible traitors. During World War II, her family was evacuated to Germany, where they were housed in a refugee camp without bomb shelters. Frequent air raids drove them into the woods that surrounded the camp. Their quest for freedom led them through dangerous war zones, into the terror of the Dresden firebombing, and eventually to a town in the Thuringian Mountains, where they sought to evade capture by the Soviet forces that seemed right on their heels. Following the war, they found themselves delivered back into the hands of the Soviets once again. Rita’s story of faith, strength, and resilience is the moving account of one family’s struggle to survive in their pursuit of freedom.

The Oxford History of Hinduism: The Goddess
The Oxford History of Hinduism: The Goddess provides a critical exposition of the Hindu idea of the divine feminine, or Devī, conceived as a singularity expressed in many forms.

Left to Tell
Immaculee Ilibagiza grew up in a country she loved, surrounded by a family she cherished. But in 1994 her idyllic world was ripped apart as Rwanda descended into a bloody genocide. Immaculee’s family was brutally murdered during a killing spree that lasted three months and claimed the lives of nearly a million Rwandans. Incredibly, Immaculee survived the slaughter. For 91 days, she and seven other women huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor while hundreds of machete-wielding killers hunted for them. It was during those endless hours of unspeakable terror that Immaculee discovered the power of prayer, eventually shedding her fear of death and forging a profound and lasting relationship with God.
