Ozhoma
Few people in the United States remember that one of the largest criminal conspiracies in history was committed against children in Oklahoma. The first woman elected to a state office, Kate Barnard, attempted to defend the mineral rights of over sixty thousand minors in the state. In the Gilded Age, she represented her faith and remembered that whatsoever you do unto the least of these, you do to Christ. This story is about one man named Eben trying to help one of those children. His name in Choctaw is Kowee, which means the Lion. Eben is a man of faith who lacks courage. He learns that it is often the faithful around us who lend us the support to step into the maelstrom.

The Lone Flag
When Hong Kong fell to the Japanese on Christmas Day 1941 Macao was left as a tiny isolated enclave on the China Coast surrounded by Japanese-held territory. As a Portuguese colony, Macao was neutral, and John Reeves, the British Consul, could remain there and continue his work despite being surrounded in all directions by his country’s enemy. His main task was to provide relief to the 9,000 or more people who crossed the Pearl River from Hong Kong to take refuge in Macao and who had a claim for support from the British Consul. The core of this book is John Reeves’ memoir of those extraordinary years and of his tireless efforts to provide food, shelter and medical care for the refugees. He coped with these challenges as Macao’s own people faced starvation. Despite Macao’s neutrality, it was thoroughly infiltrated by Japanese agents and, marked for assassination, Reeves had to have armed guards as he went about his business. He also had to navigate the complexities of multiple intelligence agencies—British, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese Nationalist—in a place that was described as the Casablanca of the Far East.
