Have you every wondered where the Christians in Germany were during the early years of the Third Reich? Why didn't they stand up against Hitler as he was gaining power? Jack Cavanaugh gives us some insight into what happened in his history novel, While Mortals Sleep.

There was a real battle for the very soul of Germany. Cavanaugh tells a gripping story about a young minister, Joseph Schumacher in his struggle with the way the young people in his church are attracted to the Nazi movement and how this is affecting their Christian faith There are times of patriotism and pride and there is the horror and fear as he discovers the treatment of his Jewish countrymen and the killing of disabled children.

Will those young people choose the Fatherland or the Heavenly Father? Jack Cavanaugh is known for his careful presentation of historical facts. The study of history is important if we learn from it. Would we have the faith and courage to stand up for what is right when darkness is closing around us? The book will hold your interest, challenge and inspire you. It is the first in a new series called "Songs in the Night".

You are invited to come in and experience the "new library". Glenda Strombom and Heidi Rocket have been busy updating the files and the looks of the library. Many of the sections have been relocated and the room is much more open. Heidi is cataloging the books into the computer. This will help us keep track of them and will help you find them. We have a special library. Come and enjoy it.
