Book Description
A spellbinding new novel of contraband masterpieces, tragic love, and the unexpected legacies of forgotten crimes, Ayelet Waldman’s Love and Treasure weaves a tale around the fascinating, true history of the Hungarian Gold Train in the Second World War. In 1945 on the outskirts of Salzburg, victorious American soldiers capture a train filled with unspeakable riches: piles of fine gold watches; mountains of fur coats; crates filled with wedding rings, silver picture frames, family heirlooms, and Shabbat candlesticks passed down through generations. Jack Wiseman, a tough, smart New York Jew, is the lieutenant charged with guarding this treasure—a responsibility that grows more complicated when he meets Ilona, a fierce, beautiful Hungarian who has lost everything in the ravages of the Holocaust. Seventy years later, amid the shadowy world of art dealers who profit off the sins of previous generations, Jack gives a necklace to his granddaughter, Natalie Stein, and charges her with searching for an unknown woman—a woman whose portrait and fate come to haunt Natalie, a woman whose secret may help Natalie to understand the guilt her grandfather will take to his grave and to find a way out of the mess she has made of her own life. A story of brilliantly drawn characters—a suave and shady art historian, a delusive and infatuated Freudian, a family of singing circus dwarfs fallen into the clutches of Josef Mengele, and desperate lovers facing choices that will tear them apart—Love and Treasure is Ayelet Waldman’s finest novel to date: a sad, funny, richly detailed work that poses hard questions about the value of precious things in a time when life itself has no value, and about the slenderest of chains that can bind us to the griefs and passions of the past. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

True life is found in the unconditional love of God. My performance-based identity was rescued by the truth that we are treasured by the heart of God. Transformation happened when I found myself wrapped, immersed and overtaken by His love. My heart’s desire is that you will find yourself precious to the heart of God and captured by His tender, powerful love- for you are His special treasure! “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the author my entire life. Her heart for Jesus radiates & her love for others is truly genuine! Within these pages (or devotionals), infused with imagery Becca demonstrates the love of God to its fullest. Anyone that reads will clearly see God’s desire to have a relationship with His children (you and me). God asks us to ‘Come’ as we are, imperfect & undeserving. The choice is ours as He is waiting & longing to hear from us. By the Holy Spirit’s power may He speak to you through the Treasure Series as He did me.” Micah Owings- entrepreneur, speaker, former MLB pitcher, scout, coach, loving brother

Book Description
Brian Whitfield Jan , 07 , 2010 wrote a book of study in which virtuous lord is teacher and virtuous heir is student. Virtuous lord gives his example introduction and wisdom for the student to revise and apply his or her own preferred examples. This book is meant for the individual that loves to uphold peace and prosperity , but understands war and destruction as a means of survival. Generally for soldiers , officers , prestigious rulers , religious leaders , community leaders , and responsible guardians also. I pray this book helps you sustain , endure , and keeps you obedient to your respected superiors. Also I hope this book builds stronger character in you and stronger commitment to all which you value. Topic 26 : Treasure I argue treasure is warriors , or that it is a ( Ruler ) most valued commodity esp. on battlegrounds. Virtuous Prince states warriors lead to treasure and treasure leads to warriors , and that it could break a rulers heart to be forced to leave treasure behind. Treasure rules everything around me , because treasure loves treasure. Treasure life , love , and happiness. Abusing treasure , or considered stealing without consent is folly concerning anothers treasure. Topic 40 : Rest I argue rest is peace , or that which keeps the territory comfortable. Virtuous Prince states where there is anger there is no rest , where there is no anger there is rest , where there is laughter there is no rest , and without work it is hard to rest. When no battles are going on learn your energy and reserve it as much as possible. To hate rest your more productive , full of energy , not tired , or that when you hate to rest your more considered a disturbance , in love with war , or blindly out looking for trouble? To love rest your fatigue and tired , or that when you rest your more at peace with your environment and reluctant to war .
