Berlin, 1938. Groundbreaking physicist Dr. Hannah Weiss is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the 20th century: splitting the atom. She understands that the energy released by her discovery can power entire cities or destroy them. Hannah believes the weapon's creation will secure an end to future wars, but as a Jewish woman living under the harsh rule of the Third Reich, her research is belittled, overlooked, and eventually stolen by her German colleagues. Faced with an impossible choice, Hannah must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in pursuit of science's greatest achievement. New Mexico, 1945. Returning wounded and battered from the liberation of Paris, Major Jack Delaney arrives in the New Mexican desert with a mission: to catch a spy. Someone in the top-secret nuclear lab at Los Alamos has been leaking encoded equations to Hitler's scientists. Chief among Jack's suspects is the brilliant and mysterious Hannah Weiss, an exiled physicist lending her talent to J. Robert Oppenheimer's mission. All signs point to Hannah as the traitor, but over three days of interrogation that separate her lies from the truth, Jack will realize they have more in common than either one bargained for. Hannah's War is a thrilling wartime story of loyalty, truth, and the unforeseeable fallout of a single choice.

Remnant Stones
Author: Aviva Ben-Ur
Publisher: Hebrew Union College Press
ISBN: 0878203729
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
In the 1660s, Jews of Iberian ancestry, many of them fleeing Inquisitorial persecution, established an agrarian settlement in the midst of the Surinamese tropics. The heart of this community-Jodensavanne, or Jews' Savannah-became an autonomous village with its own Jewish institutions, including a majestic synagogue consecrated in 1685. Situated along the Suriname River, some fifty kilometers south of the capital city of Paramaribo, Jodensavanne was by the mid-eighteenth century surrounded by dozens of Jewish plantations sprawling north- and southward and dominating the stretch of the river. These Sephardi-owned plots, mostly devoted to the cultivation and processing of sugar, carried out primarily by enslaved Africans, collectively formed the largest Jewish agricultural community in the world at the time and the only Jewish settlement in the Americas granted virtual self-rule. Sephardi settlement paved the way for the influx of hundreds of Ashkenazi Jews, who began to emigrate in the late seventeenth century from western and central Europe. Generally banned from Jodensavanne, these newcomers settled in Paramaribo, where they established their own cemeteries and historic synagogue. Meanwhile, slave rebellions, Maroon attacks, the general collapse of Suriname's economy, soil depletion, absentee land ownership, and a ravaging fire all contributed to the demise of the old Savannah settlement beginning in the second half of the eighteenth century..

The Remnant of Truth Seekers
Author: Mary Ruth Whitley
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 109801927X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
I have had the pleasure of living my entire life in a family of Christians. My children had many nonbelieving friends while growing up. As they individually reached out to their circle of friends, some saw the light and became believers, but not all accepted Jesus as their Savior. Others would tell one of my four children that they became Christians after watching how he or she had grown into adulthood committed to follow Christ. As a family, we would have discussions about the rapture because of Scripture or even books we read. Our concern was for our friends and relatives who never made a commitment to love the Lord. Our conversations left us wondering if (after the rapture) they would remember our talks and seek an answer, or would they just give up""believing it was too late? The Remnant of Truth Seekers "" Living God's Final Prophecies is a realistic, different, and definitely unique scenario of what might possibly occur after the rapture. Characters and locations develop as the story gains momentum. Readers will be drawn into the lives of these people as they watch them struggle and work through seven years of prophetic, biblical discovery. As truths are uncovered, they must be applied to their lives. Survival depends on community living much like the book of Acts. Life is now totally relevant to what the prophets in the Old Testament, and the apostles of the New Testament, penned for mankind. Life for the remnant parallels much of what is found in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation, as well as the unfulfilled prophecies in the New Testament. The end of their saga does not come at Armageddon, but when God Almighty is reigning on and in His new heaven and new earth. The Holy Bible will always define "real life" for anyone who is interested in knowing the truth!
