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. -

1000 Shall Fall
$23.79Add to cartThe electrifying story of an Adventist family who dared to practice their faith in Hitler’s Germany.
They saw God work miracle after miracle to save them from certain disaster. As thousands around them fell victim to the horrors of war, they were borne up on angels’ wings-sometimes quite literally. This is the true story of one family who chose to be faithful whatever the cost, and found refuge in the shadow of the Almighty.
From the Back Cover . . .
The lieutenant’s face turned beet-red. “You must be mad, private!” he bellowed. “This is the German Army! This battalion’s going to war, and you want Saturday off?” Under his breath he spat out, “It’s just my luck to be saddled with a religious nut!”
Franz Hasel, a 40-year-old pacifist, was drafted and assigned to Pioneer Company 699, Hitler’s elite troops who built bridges at the front lines. His religious scruples did not endear him to his superiors. Sarcastically dubbed “carrot eater” and “Bible reader, ” he finally gained the respect of his unit.
Just before he was sent deep into Russia-where all but seven of his 1,200-man unit would die- he secretly discarded his gun, fearing that, as the company sharpshooter, he might be tempted to kill. In Russia he faced a new problem: how to warn the local Jews before the SS got to them.
Meanwhile, back at home, Franz’s wife, Helene, and their four children were fighting their own battles. Pressured to join the Nazi Party, she announced, “I belong to the party of Jesus Christ.”
“Tomorrow night your children will be taken from you unless you join the party,” Herr Doering screamed. And she had another secret. One day the Gestapo knocked on her door. “Are you hiding a Jew” they demanded. Their chances of survival? Dim. Their only ally? God.
In a few short years they lived several lifetimes of danger. As thousands around them fell victim to the horrors of war, they were borne up on angels’ wings-sometimes quite literally. This is the true, soul-soaring story of one desperate family who chose to be faithful whatever the cost, and found refuge in the shadow of the Almighty.
The youngest daughter of Franz Hasel, Susi Hasel Mundy has taught German and behavioral science, and spent 10 years in private practice as a licensed marriage, family, and child therapist. Currently she is the registrar at Pacific Union College in Angwin, California.

Ellen White : Woman Of Vision
$28.99Add to cartEllen G. White (1827-1915) is a widely translated American author–her works have been published in more than 140 languages. Though her formal education ended at the age of 9, her literary productions totaled approximately 100,000 pages on such topics as health, education, family, Bible history, and practical Christian living. Today millions look to her writings for guidance and motivation.
During her lifetime she experienced more than 2,000 dreams and visions. These provided a rich source of divine wisdom from which she drew for her extensive writings. As God’s servant she wrote letters of encouragement, counsel, and reproof to church members and leaders around the world, in many cases dealing with secret, personal matters.An accident in her youth resulted in years of frail health, yet in addition to her writing she managed to run a home that often resembled a hotel while raising three sons and coping with the emotional difficulties of her husband after he suffered a series of strokes. In her later years she helped lead the Seventh-day Adventist Church into a deeper understanding of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. Her lifelong message was that Christ is coming soon and that we must be ready to meet Him. The last sentence she ever uttered before the church’s world assembly, as she raised a Bible above the pulpit, was, ”Brethren and sisters, I commend unto you this Book.”
