The Last Train to London is a gripping tale by the New York Times bestselling author, Meg Waite Clayton. This pre-World War II-era story is imbued with the emotional resonance of Orphan Train and All the Light We Cannot See, centering on the Kindertransports that carried thousands of children out of Nazi-occupied Europe—and one brave woman who helped them escape to safety.

In 1936, the Nazis are little more than loud, brutish bores to fifteen-year-old Stephan Neuman, the son of a wealthy and influential Jewish family and a budding playwright whose playground extends from Vienna’s streets to its intricate underground tunnels. Stephan’s best friend and companion is the brilliant Žofie-Helene, a Christian girl whose mother edits a progressive, anti-Nazi newspaper. But their carefree innocence is shattered when the Nazis take control.

There is hope in the darkness. Truus Wijsmuller, a member of the Dutch resistance, risks her life smuggling Jewish children out of Nazi Germany to the nations that will take them. This mission becomes even more dangerous after the Anschluss—Hitler’s annexation of Austria—as, across Europe, countries close their borders to the growing number of refugees desperate to escape.

Tante Truus, as she is affectionately known, is determined to save as many children as she can. After Britain passes a measure to take in at-risk child refugees from the German Reich, she dares to approach Adolf Eichmann in a race against time to bring children like Stephan, his young brother Walter, and Žofie-Helene on a perilous journey to an uncertain future abroad.

The Boy Who Dared is a powerful and gripping novel by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, about a youth in Nazi Germany who dares to tell the truth about Hitler. This story, taken from Bartoletti's Newbery Honor Book, Hitler Youth, is fleshed out into a thought-provoking novel.

When 16-year-old Helmut Hubner listens to the BBC news on an illegal short-wave radio, he quickly discovers that Germany is lying to its people. Courageously, he tries to expose the truth through leaflets, leading to his trial for treason.

Sentenced to death and awaiting execution in a jail cell, Helmut's story unfolds in a series of flashbacks. These reveal his growth from a naive child caught up in the patriotism of the times, to a sensitive and mature young man who learns to think for himself.

This novel is a testament to the power of youth, courage, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

From the streets of Iraq to the rescue of Captain Richard Phillips in the Indian Ocean, and from the mountaintops of Afghanistan to the third floor of Osama Bin Laden's compound, operator Mark Owen of the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Development Group—commonly known as SEAL Team Six—has been a part of some of the most memorable special operations in history, as well as countless missions that never made headlines.

No Easy Day puts readers alongside Owen and the other handpicked members of the twenty-four-man team as they train for the biggest mission of their lives. The blow-by-blow narrative of the assault, beginning with the helicopter crash that could have ended Owen's life straight through to the radio call confirming Bin Laden’s death, is an essential piece of modern history.

In No Easy Day, Owen also takes readers onto the field of battle in America's ongoing War on Terror and details the selection and training process for one of the most elite units in the military. Owen's story draws on his youth in Alaska and describes the SEALs' quest to challenge themselves at the highest levels of physical and mental endurance.

With boots-on-the-ground detail, Owen describes numerous previously unreported missions that illustrate the life and work of a SEAL and the evolution of the team after the events of September 11. In telling the true story of the SEALs whose talents, skills, experiences, and exceptional sacrifices led to one of the greatest victories in the War on Terror, Mark Owen honors the men who risk everything for our country, and he leaves readers with a deep understanding of the warriors who keep America safe.

Jesus Freaks by dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs is a compelling companion volume to dc Talk's album of the same name. This book is specially crafted for teenagers and delves into the profound stories of martyrdom.

It features dozens of profiles of courageous individuals, ranging from Stephen, whose martyrdom is vividly described in the Book of Acts, to "Anila and Perveen", two teenage Pakistani girls and devout Christian believers. In 1997, Perveen tragically lost her life for fleeing an arranged marriage with a Muslim man, while Anila faced imprisonment for aiding her friend's escape.

In the introduction, Michael Tait emphasizes the book's purpose: "In a world built on free will instead of God's will, we must be the Freaks. While we may not be called to martyr our lives, we must martyr our way of life. We must put our selfish ways to death and march to a different beat. Then the world will see Jesus."

The book's design is hip and easy to read, providing a thought-provoking summary of Christian persecutions that continue to this day, making it both a useful and frightening read.
