Description

You can read this four-book collection all at once. Inspired by exciting and romantic stories from the Bible, each book is a modern retelling set during WWII. Love's Harvest: Noreen Hirsch loses everything including her husband and two sons. Then her adopted country goes to war with her homeland. Has God abandoned her? Rosa Hirsch barely adjusts to being a bride before she is widowed. She gives up her citizenship to accompany her mother-in-law to her home country. Can Rosa find acceptance among strangers who hate her belligerent nation? Basil Quincey is rich beyond his wildest dreams, but loneliness stalks him. Can he find a woman who loves him and not his money? Three people. One God who can raise hope from the ashes of despair. Love's Belief: Midwife Pia Hertz and her mother Sabine have been delivering babies long before the Nazis came to power. Now, the Third Reich has implemented mandates that require Jewish babies and other "undesirables" to be killed as part of The Final Solution. Is Pia's new faith in Christ strong enough to defy the laws of man? Despite the agony of the injury at the Battle of Drøbak Sound that took his arm, Dieter Fertig is relieved he's no longer part of Hitler's army. He returns to Berlin and discovers Jews are being deported by the thousands. When he realizes the Nuremburg Laws require his best friend's baby girl to be killed, he must find a way to spirit the child out of Germany before the Nazis discover her existence. Inspired by the biblical story of Shiprah and Puah, the midwives who saved Jewish babies during Pharaoh's reign, Love's Belief shows how one person's actions can change the world. Love's Rescue: A prostitute, a spy, and the liberation of Paris. Sold by her parents to settle a debt, Rolande Bisset is forced into prostitution. Years later, shunned by her family and most of society, it's the only way she knows how to subsist. When the Germans overrun Paris, she decides she's had enough of evil men controlling her life and uses her wiles to obtain information for the Allied forces. Branded a collaborator, her life hangs in the balance. Then an American spy stumbles onto her doorstep. Is redemption within her grasp? Simon Harlow is one of an elite corps of American soldiers. Regularly chosen for dangerous covert missions, he is tasked with infiltrating Paris to ascertain the Axis's defenses. Nearly caught by German forces moments after arriving, he owes his life to the beautiful prostitute who claims she's been waiting for the Allies to arrive. Her lifestyle goes against everything he believes in, but will she steal his heart during his quest to liberate her city? Inspired by the biblical story of Rahab, Love's Rescue is a tale of faith and hope during one of history's darkest periods. Love's Allegiance: With most U.S. boys fighting for Uncle Sam in far off countries, Rochelle Addams has given up hope for a wedding in her future. Then she receives an intriguing offer from a distant relative to consider a marriage of convenience. Conscientious objector Irwin Terrell is looking forward to his assignment at Shady Hills Mental hospital to minister to the less fortunate in lieu of bearing arms. At the arrival of the potential bride his father has selected for him, Irwin's well-ordered life is turned upside down. And after being left at the altar two years ago, he has no interest in risking romance again. Despite his best efforts to remain aloof to Rochelle, Irwin is drawn to the enigmatic and beautiful young woman, but will time run out before his wounded heart can find room for her? Inspired by the biblical love story of Rebekkah and Isaac, Love's Allegiance explores the struggles and sacrifices of those whose beliefs were at odds with a world at war.
