This book is a fascinating testimony that reveals the reality of the real war, the spiritual battle raging between the two kingdoms-the kingdom of this world with the powers of the occult attempting to establish the son of Satan as ruler over "The New World Order" versus the eternal King Jesus Christ and his kingdom, which will manifest at his second coming and fill the entire earth. This is the battle, the real one that affects every person that has ever lived on this planet. In 1967, Duane Kershner was abruptly interrupted while working his way through architectural studies. He was drafted into the US army and sent to Vietnam. After the war, disoriented and disillusioned, he went "south," leaving the United States in search for truth, if there was one. His intense search eventually led him to enroll in an international university in Mexico City. Unknown by Duane, the university had been infiltrated by Satanists who were recruiting for the "New World Order." Blind to what was happening, Duane was gradually being trapped and prepared for a Black Sabbath Mass where the Satanists would attempt to bring him "across the line" and into the ranks of Satan. He narrowly escaped from the satanic ritual, but the Satanists did not give up easily. Duane was brought face-to-face with death. Seconds before his soul would have passed through the eternal gates of hell, he called for the blood of Jesus. Jesus miraculously caught his descending soul, brought it back to his body, and saved him from hell. The power and glory of God began to fill every cell of his body. He was healed, delivered from the grips of Satan, and called into the army of the Lord Jesus Christ. After an intense time of training, he was commissioned by the Holy Spirit with the mission of taking the truth of Jesus Christ to the unreached indigenous tribes of Southern Mexico.

Robert came to Galveston to fulfill his promise to a dying confederate soldier and look after his widow. He didn’t expect to find love in the unlikeliest of places. Robert Truax, former Second Lieutenant and Confederate officer in the Civil War, made a promise to his comrade Phillip Markham. If anything happened to Phillip, Robert would look after his beloved wife, Miranda. She was his life, his world, his everything. After the war, Robert is left to pick up the pieces and fulfill his pact. When he arrives at Miranda’s home in Galveston, Texas, things are worse than he imagined. Phillip’s name has been dragged through the mud, everyone in town believes him to be a traitor, and his widow is treated as an outcast. Even more disturbing is her emotional well-being. Miranda seems hopeless, lost, and so very alone. Robert had thought his duty would be simple. He would help Miranda as quickly as possible in order to honor his promise. But the moment Robert laid eyes on her, his plans changed. He’s mesmerized by her beauty and yearns to help her in any way he can. He makes it his duty to protect Miranda, turn her reputation around, and to find some way to help her smile again. But it doesn’t prove to be an easy task—Robert knows something about Phillip that could shake Miranda to the core and alter her view of the man she thought she knew so well.

Adolf Hitler’s war in Africa arose from the urgent need to reinforce the Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, whose 1940 invasion of Egypt had been soundly beaten. Of secondary importance to his ideological dream of conquering the Soviet Union, Germany’s Führer rushed a small mechanised force into the unfamiliar North African theatre to stave off defeat and avert any political fallout. This fresh account begins with the arrival of the largely unprepared German formations, soon to be stricken by disease and heavily reliant upon captured materiel, as they fought a bloody series of see-sawing battles across the Western Desert. David Mitchelhill-Green has gathered a wealth of personal narratives from both sides as he follows the brash exploits of General Erwin Rommel, intent on retaking Libya; the Nile firmly in his sights. Against this backdrop is the brutal human experience of war itself.

The ten stories gathered together in The Tomorrow-Tamer are Margaret Laurence’s first published fiction. Set in raucous and often terrifying Ghana, where shiny Jaguars and modern jazz jostle for eminence against fetish figures, tribal rites, and the unchanging beat of jungle drums, the stories tell of individuals, European and African, trying to come to terms with the frightening world brought about by the country’s new freedom. With the same compassion and understanding she would bring to her later fiction set in Canada, Laurence succeeds brilliantly in capturing the atmosphere of a continent and of individual men and women struggling for survival under the impact of the wind of change.
