Angels in Iron
by Nicholas
C.
Prata
The year is A.D. 1523 and the island
of Rhodes
has just fallen to the Turks. Those sailing away in defeat from this
bastion are members of an anachronistic crusading order called
the Knights of St. John. Among
the
dejected company is a stalwart young knight named Jean Parisot De La
Valette. Were it up to him, the order would have defended the island to
the bitter end.
Forty-two years later, history has repeated

Mount of Jerusalem itself." More...

Leave If You Can
by Luise Rinser
"Set in war time Italy, Leave if You Can is basically one
long letter relaying the journey of two young women as they struggle
with the direction God is calling them to go....The book's back cover
describes the novel as exploring 'the challenge of God's mystical call
versus the overpowering allure of the world.' I'd add that that it not
only takes on the challenge to heed God's call, but also how someone
might feel the draw to religious life." More...
