There is a book in the Treasure Room here that I have been meaning to read for several years. Yesterday I checked it out and started reading. On a whim I searched google books and found that the entire book is there free to download and read. If you have an interest on the life of Christians in the past you would find this book of interest.
The title is:
An English Girl's Account of a Moravian Community in the Black Forest
The book was published in 1860.

Fatal Convictions by Randy Singer.
Last week: The Mayan Apocalypse by Mark Hitchcock and Alton Gansky -
Reed, D. R. (2007). Mission to Canaan. Enumclaw, WA: Pleasant Word.
This fictional novel is self-published. I stopped by the author's booth at the Kentucky Book Fair (fall, 2008) and briefly discussed the research he conducted before writing the book. At the end of our discussion, he autographed my copy. A very nice, soft-spoken gentleman.
Now, a few years later (like many book purchases), I am getting around to this book. The reading is light and exciting--good for boys and girls of all ages.
The author wrote the following in the front of my copy.

Bob, I hope you enjoy this adventure story.
D. R. Reed
From the back cover of the book . . .
Twelve men set out on a covert mission that would impact the future of their race. Commissioned by the great Patriarch Moses, Joshua and his men were to bring back reports on the land God told them to conquer, a land “flowing with milk and honey.”
Based on biblical fact, Mission to Canaan elaborates on the story of the forty days these determined men spent spying on the Promised Land.Considered as bandits and suffering temporary captivity, the men faced constant danger. Day after day they moved quickly and silently through their destined homeland, gathering information about the local defenses in advance of the invasion by the people of Moses.
They returned with tales of giant men, abominable religious practices, and abundant resources. The success of the proposed incursion was doubted by many of the men but Joshua stood firm––God’s promises were true.
. . .
In the style of Jack London and Edgar Rice Burroughs, author Dallas Ray Reed provides the reader with classic tales of a noble quest. His military service and many travels in Europe and the Middle East have given the former college professor an insider's feel for the adventure tales of Mission to Canaan.
Religion / Biblical Biography / Old Testament

One Man's War by Tommy LaMore.
The memoirs of LaMore's experiences in WW II, first as a tail gunner in a B-17, then as a prisoner of war of the Germans, his escape and his travels with the Russian army until the end of the war. He was with a Russian unit that was largely made up of the Mongolian Terror Soldiers. You did not want to meet them in battle. Even the hardened SS were afraid of these soldiers. -
Courage To Stand by former Minnesota governor and potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate, Tim Pawlenty. I am about 37% of the way through it. A very interesting autobiography.
