Book Description
The extraordinary story of Stefania Podgórska, a Polish teenager who chose bravery and humanity by hiding thirteen Jews in her attic during WWII, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sharon Cameron - now a Reese's Book Club YA Pick! One knock at the door, and Stefania has a choice to make... It is 1943, and for four years, sixteen-year-old Stefania has been working for the Diamant family in their grocery store in Przemysl, Poland, singing her way into their lives and hearts. She has even made a promise to one of their sons, Izio -- a betrothal they must keep secret since she is Catholic and the Diamants are Jewish. But everything changes when the German army invades Przemysl. The Diamants are forced into the ghetto, and Stefania is alone in an occupied city, the only one left to care for Helena, her six-year-old sister. And then comes the knock at the door. Izio's brother Max has jumped from the train headed to a death camp. Stefania and Helena make the extraordinary decision to hide Max, and eventually twelve more Jews. Then they must wait, every day, for the next knock at the door, the one that will mean death. When the knock finally comes, it is two Nazi officers, requisitioning Stefania's house for the German army. With two Nazis below, thirteen hidden Jews above, and a little sister by her side, Stefania has one more excruciating choice to make. This remarkable tale of courage and humanity, based on a true story, is now a Reese's Book Club YA Pick!

Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Biblical prophets and saints of old had access to spiritual portals to communicate with Yahweh and transport from one location to another as the spirit moved them. You have the ability to transport from the center of your mind to the Holy of Holies in heaven. Christ is the portal, and he is in us. This means the portal of heaven is inside of us. "Yahweh is in his holy temple, Yahweh's throne is in heaven" (Psalms 11:4). You are the temple of God and his spirit is dwells in you (1Corinthians 3:16, & 6:19). God is in you (his temple) on the throne inside of you. His throne is in heaven and this means heaven is within you. Christ said, "The kingdom of God is inside of you" (Luke 17:21). We are in God and he is in us. "In him we live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28). If you are willing to make some changes and to dedicate some effort and time, the proper forms of meditation will carry you to wonderful places heretofore unknown by you. All you need to do is open the door.
