Book Description
The story of Nazi Germany is one of conflict between two saviors and two crosses. “Deine Reich komme,” Hitler prayed publicly—“Thy Kingdom come.” But to whose kingdom was he referring? When Germany truly needed a savior, Adolf Hitler falsely assumed the role. He directed his countrymen to a cross, but he bent and hammered the true cross into a horrific substitute: a swastika. Where was the church through all of this? With a few exceptions, the German church looked away while Hitler inflicted his “Final Solution” upon the Jews. Hitler’s Cross is a chilling historical account of what happens when evil meets a silent, shrinking church, and an intriguing and convicting exposé of modern America’s own hidden crosses. Erwin W. Lutzer extracts a number of lessons from this dark chapter in world history, such as: The dangers of confusing church and state The role of God in human tragedy The parameters of Satan's freedom Hitler's Cross is the story of a nation whose church forgot its call and discovered its failure way too late. It is a cautionary tale for every church and Christian to remember who the true King is.

The Buddhist Swastika and Hitler's Cross
Author: T. K. Nakagaki
Publisher: Stone Bridge Press, Inc.
ISBN: 1611729335
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
A remarkable cross-cultural history that rescues the swastika, an ancient Buddhist symbol, from its deployment by the forces of hate. The swastika has been used for over three thousand years by billions of people in many cultures and religions—including Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism—as an auspicious symbol of the sun and good fortune. However, beginning with its hijacking and misappropriation by Nazi Germany, it has also been used, and continues to be used, as a symbol of hate in the Western World. Hitler's device is in fact a "hooked cross." Rev. Nakagaki's book explains how and why these symbols got confused, and offers a path to peace, understanding, and reconciliation. Please note: Photographs in the digital edition of the books are in color. Photographs in the print edition are in black and white.

Hitler's Cross

Publisher: Moody Publishers

Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Six million Jews...dead. The monstrosity of Adolph Hitler's 'Third Reich' remains a stunning chapter in the pages of history. Although the power by which he hypnotized an entire nation is legendary, one question in particular begs an answer: Where was the church of Christ? Seduced by the Satanic majesty of The Fuhrer, church leaders throughout Germany allowed the Swastika a prominent place alongside the Christian cross in their sanctuaries. Nationalistic pride replaced the call of God to purity, and with few exceptions, the German church looked away while Adolph Hitler implemented his 'Final Solution' to his Jewish problem. How did this happen? In Hitler's Cross, Erwin W. Lutzer examines the lessons that may be learned from studying the deception of the church: the dangers of confusing "church and state," how the church lost its focus, the role of God in human tragedy, the parameters of Satan's freedom, the truth behind Hitler's hatred of the Jews, the faithfulness of God to His people who suffer for Him, the comparisons between Hitler's rise and the coming reign of the Antichrist, and America's hidden cross-her dangerous trends. Hitler's Cross is the story of a nation whose church forgot its primary call and discovered its failure too late.

Author: Taylor Friede

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Friede Taylor has lived a life that legends spring from. Born in Czechoslovakia during WWII, she was left to die as a child because of the deprivations of the war. A nurse took her family into her home and saved Friede's life by giving her transfusions of her own blood. A member of the dreaded Waffen-SS and a prisoner of war, Friede's father took his own life after the war, having never told her he loved her. She married a serviceman and moved to Georgia at 19. Following the suicide of her oldest son, she had an "open-heaven" experience that assured her that God would provide for and protect her. She was widowed after 30 years. God continued to move in Friede's life, eventually leading her to marry Jack Taylor after a brief courtship. She now travels and ministers with her husband around the world.This is Friede's first book and it chronicles a life of purpose protected by God. Read Friede's story to be inspired to thrive, not just survive. God has a plan for you. Her testimony declares that a life lived by faith always overcomes!"Friede Taylor is a force to be reckoned with! If you have had the privilege to know her, you know what I mean. Once you read her story, you will know why. Sounding more like a Hollywood screenplay, this book shares the candid and personal account of how "one solitary woman" overcame intense rejection and horrendous loss only to survive and thrive, bathed in the glory of the love of God. This is the stuff heroes are made of. Set in one of the most tumultuous places on earth in one of the most horrific times in history, this book is the authentic account of a woman, wife, and daughter who has been watched over by her heavenly Father since she was born. You will be amazed and encouraged as you read how the Father can and will do the same for you."Tim P. Taylor, Author, Publisher, and proud stepson

Theologians Under Hitler
Author: Robert P. Ericksen
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300038897
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
What led so many German Protestant theologians to welcome the Nazi regime and its policies of racism and anti-Semitism? In this provocative book, Robert P. Ericksen examines the work and attitudes of three distinguished, scholarly, and influential theologians who greeted the rise of Hitler with enthusiasm and support. In so doing, he shows how National Socialism could appeal to well-meaning and intelligent people in Germany and why the German university and church were so silent about the excesses and evil that confronted them. "This book is stimulating and thought-provoking....The issues it raises range well beyond the confines of the case-studies of the three theologians examined and have relevance outside the particular context of Hitler's Germany....That the book compels the reader to rethink some important questions about the susceptibility of intelligent human beings to as distasteful a phenomenon as fascism is an important achievement."--Ian Kershaw, History Today "Ericksen's study...throws light on the kinds of perversion to which Christian beliefs and attitudes are easily susceptible, and is therefore timely and useful." --Gordon D. Kaufman, Los Angeles Times "An understanding and carefully documented study."--Ernst C. Helmreich, American Historical Review "This dark book poses a number of social, economic and cultural questions that one has to answer before condemning Kittel, Althaus and Hirsch."--William Griffin, Publishers Weekly "A highly competent, well written book."--Tim Bradshaw, Churchman

The Iron Dream
Author: Norman Spinrad
Publisher: Gateway
ISBN: 0575117222
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
Norman Spinrad's 1972 alternate history, gives us both a metafictional what-if novel and a cutting satire of one of the 20th century's most evil regimes . . . In 1919, a young Austrian artist by the name of Adolf Hitler immigrated to the United States to become an illustrator for the pulp magazines and, eventually, a Hugo Award-winning SF author. This volume contains his greatest work, Lord of the Swastika: an epic post-apocalyptic tale of genetic 'trueman' Feric Jagger and his quest to purify the bloodline of humanity by ruthlessly slaughtering races of the genetically impure - a quest Norman Spinrad expertly skewers through ironic imagery and over-the-top rhetoric. Spinrad hoped to expose some unpalatable truths about much of SF and Fantasy literature and its uncomfortable relationship with fascist ideologies - an aim that was not always apparent to neo-fascist readers. In order to make his aims clear to the hard-of-understanding, Spinrad added an imaginary critical analysis by a fictional literary scholar, Homer Whipple, of New York University.

Buddhist Swastika Hitler's Cross
Author: Ian Tinny
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781698961248
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
Does the Buddhist swastika encompass the same dogma touted by Adolf Hitler: SOCIALISM? Do Buddhists and Buddhism embrace socialism? Do some Buddhists hide links between the Buddhist swastika and Hitler's cross? China requires Buddhists to support socialism and the socialist government. Some Buddhists in other countries support socialism too. The swastika means "well-being" and "good fortune" from the Sanskrit language. All socialists believe that socialism is beneficent and produces well-being. Hitler believed that too when he touted "socialism" by the very word in his voluminous speeches and writings. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, the Kim thugs and many others touted "socialism" by the very word. Millions lived in poverty and died under socialism. Do Buddhists perpetuate the same mistakes about socialism today? Hitler tilted his symbol 45 degrees and oriented it in the direction of the "S" letter shape to emphasize it as alphabetical symbolism for "socialism." Hitler also designed the "SA" symbol to show another "S" letter shape for "sturmabteilung." The "SS" symbol for "schutzstaffel" is similar too. "VW" car symbols show alphabetical symbolism from German socialism.Buddha was/is adorned with the swastika. Hitler was too.
