From Hollywood To Heaven
$20.29Add to cartThe true story of an amazing escape from darkness into light.
From Hollywood to Heaven is the gripping true story of Steve Wohlberg, who started out as a happy, innocent little boy growing up in the Hollywood Hills of Southern California during the 1960s and 1970s, but who slowly yielded to the tainted, deadly influences surrounding him.
By his teenage years, the allure of “Tinsletown” had drawn Steve into a dark and dangerous world of alcohol, drugs, and wild living. Caught in a downward spiral, he could easily have ended up in prison-or worse, dead. Steve’s life seemed to be playing out like some sleazy R-rated movie. But God was about to rewrite the “script” of Steve’s life and turn him in a dramatically different direction: heavenward!
As you read this fascinating story, it will become obvious that a summer filled with amazing events was not a random coincidence, but a rescue mission initiated by heavenly love-a love that is reaching out to you and your family even now, at this very moment.

Whom Shall I Fear
$23.19Add to cartHow do you pick up the shattered pieces and move on, when your life is being torn apart? Is there something, or Someone, you can really believe in, and depend on, to get you through?
For Mara, life was a literal war zone. Her true story takes us back in time to battle-scarred Serbia in World War I. Violence ripped apart Mara’s family . . . and her heart. When peace comes, at last, Mara seeks a new beginning and settles into a simple country life with Ilija and their growing family.
But a passing remark stirs up a new conflict-this time, in Mara’s conscience. The church of her youth had always provided an oasis from the world’s chaos, and Mara never questioned its teachings. There she found truth-but was it really divine? Or had humans, somehow, tampered with God’s law that was written in stone with His own hand?
Whom Shall I Fear is a powerful book that will bring you courage and help you not just survive, but find hope and victory in the battles of life.

Among the most colorful of the early Seventh-day Adventist church workers was Stephen Nelson Haskell. A self-made man, fearless, and endowed with ingenuity, courage, and vision, Haskell led in a number of enterprises that were accepted and established by the denomination. He was the first to make an around-the-world trip in the interest of Adventist missions, taking almost two years. He was a leader in city mission work, and we think of him as the father of the tract and missionary societies from which developed the Book and Bible Houses and two departments of the church–Publishing and Home Missionary. -
