 Boris by Jaap Ter Haar
It was hunger that drove 12-year-old
Boris and his friend, Nadia, to forage for potatoes in
the forbidden No-man’s-land that lay between the
Russian and German lines outside the besieged city of
Leningrad. But the long walk in the bitter cold, through
miles of ice and snow, was too difficult for Nadia. As
she lay on the ice, collapsed from exhaustion, Boris was
at his wits’ end. When German patrol rescued the
children and delivered them safely to the Russian lines,
Boris learned that the hated enemy were not monsters
— just ordinary men like any others — and that
in war, everyone is the victim.
Set in Leningrad during the dreadful
500 days in 1942-43 when it lay under siege by the German
army, Boris is the story of a courageous boy who
faces the bitter life-and-death realities of war and
human survival, and, with a growing sense of compassion
for all mankind, looks hopefully toward the future when
all men can lay down their arms and embrace one another
as brothers.
"A beautifully realized parable of
war, death, kindness, and endurance . . . enormously
effective."
—School Library Journal
Jaap ter Haar was a Dutch historian who
served in the World War II underground. Both his
histories and his children’s books have been
translated into many languages and have received literary
awards. Boris was chosen as Book of the Year in
Holland and also won the Youth Award of the City of
Rotterdam.

was coming to the town of Zerbst. However, Otto Maehler
was forbidden to join the procession to meet this

Despite the fury of the magistrates, Father Maehler
offered Martin Luther the cup of honour. But the
consequences were harsh. Their lives were spared, but . .
. Where had Martin Luther gone?
Join Otto’s family as they cling
to God’s promises through all their grief and
tension. Witness with joy the work of God in the lives of
His children as well as in the lives of the enemies of
the cross.
Another historical novel by P. de
Zeeuw. Written in a fascinating way for children to learn
church history. It will encourage them to remain
steadfast in the faith and to confess with Martin Luther:
Here I stand!
I cannot do otherwise.
May God help me! Amen.

 THE CZAR by Deborah Alcock
A
Tale of the Time of the First Napoleon
As, with a hand still
trembling, Clémence poured out the tea, she remembered
the stories she had heard of such evening visits made by
the Czar, "to talk at his ease," and recalled
the words of De Maistre when someone criticised this
habit in his presence: "It is a touching thing to me
to see the ruler of a great empire, in the age of all the
passions, find his recreation in taking a cup of tea with
an honest man and his wife."
Ivan Ivanovitch
Pojarsky, an orphaned Russian Prince, adopted by loyal
people in the village of Nicolofsky meets the great Czar
Alexander of Russia while the Czar does his best to bring
back to life a seemingly dead carpenter. This historical
fact, and many others related in this captivating story,
gives a very accurate picture of the life in Russia
during the time of Napoleon.

 Life in the Eagle’s
Nest by Charlotte Maria Tucker (A.L.O.E.)
A
Tale of Afghanistan
Afghanistan! To many an
uncivilized land of terror and hatred. To others a land
of intrigue and adventure. A land where few dare to
tread. Go with Walter Gurney, the seventeen-year-old
orphan son of a British missionary in India, who, after
meeting handsome, boastful Dermot Denis, joined him on a
trip into Afghanistan. Negating the danger of such a
perilous trip, Walter eased his conscience with the
thought of evangelizing. Infected with the exultation of
his companion, nothing for the time seemed more enjoyable
than this wild foray into a dangerous land. Yet within a
few days they were surprised by a brutal group of Pathan
Afghans. Despite his companion’s ridicule and the
danger lurking in his path Walter knew that nothing could
separate him from the love of Christ. God’s will
always comes to pass and as God’s child he was safe
in the arms of his Saviour. Will Walter be able to hold
on to this faith when pressed by a Moslem Holy man? Will
Sultána, the daughter of the chief, be able to help him
and her people in the Eagle’s Nest? Witness with
Walter the blessings of God in bringing His Gospel to
hungry hearts in ways unimaginable by men.

 The Colonist of Southwest
Africa
by
Lawrence Penning
After three years of fighting, the Boer War was
nearing its bitter end. Even though the Boer armies
seemed defeated by the superior British armed forces,
many Boer commandoes refused to give up and continued to
strike at the English military. The enemy’s
retaliation was horrible. Systematically the Rednecks
combed out the country: farms were burned and the women
and children were taken to concentration camps.
Malnourished, neglected, and ravaged by Typhus fever,
thousands died in those camps.
Under the leadership of Louis Wessels, a commando
planned a rescue, but with difficulties and traitors
abounding, failure and capture were imminent realities.
Was escape still possible? Could comfort be found in the
words of the field preacher who not only condemned
England’s insults and scorn heaped on the Boer
entreaties for help, but also entreated his fellow
Christians to throw dust and ashes on their heads
"for we and our fathers — we have sinned
grievously! We have erred. We have served alien gods, and
now the Lord is visiting us with His scourge."
Addressing the Boers, and also the British doctor, the
field preacher concluded, "Brothers, let us be
silent in this oppression. Let us confess our sins and
lift our penitent hearts in prayer to the hills from
whence our salvation will come."
This last volume of the Louis Wessels Commando series
brings the dark reality of the Boer War into stark focus.
May the words of the field preacher never need to be
addressed to us.

 Under the Inquisition
by
Elizabeth H. Walshe
The Reformation Trail
Series
A
Story of the Reformation in Italy
"You have forgotten
that you should confess Christ’s Name; and do you
not remember, O deluded people, that whoever confesses
not Christ upon earth, shall be denied by Him before His
Father and the holy angels? Certainly you are not alone
in this backsliding. There may be some in our valleys of
the Alps who carry with them certificates that they are
genuine papists, and have their children baptized by
priests with all the mummeries of superstition, yes, and
go to the so-called sacrifice of the mass, openly bowing
the knee to Baal, that they may be seen of men; and they
excuse themselves — verily a fancied excuse! —
by saying secretly when they enter the mass house,
‘Cave of robbers, may God confound you!’ I have
heard that similar practices extend even here. My
brothers, such duplicity is intolerable to the righteous
Lord. Do you think that He will not protect the men who
range themselves under His banner against Antichrist, in
the face of all the world? I tell you, that if all the
devils on earth and in hell were leagued to destroy you,
mightier is He that is for you than all that can be
against you! Your Father can sheath the sword and quench
the faggot of the persecutor, if it is His will; and if
it is not His will — O servants of Christ! Will
there not be a quicker entrance into the joy of your
Lord, and a more dazzling crown of glory!"
Sobs and moans came from
that excitable southern audience; glowing eyes,
betokening glowing hearts, met the youthful
preacher’s every look.
. . . Thus Paschali
enunciated the principles which were to guide his
ministry.

Calvin’s
Doctrine of the Word and Sacrament
by
Ronald S. Wallace
This is a careful and
fresh study of Calvin’s Commentaries, Institutes,
Sermons, and Tracts designed to meet the practical needs
of those who wish clarification of the doctrines which
lie behind traditional Reformed church practice. The book
is also valuable for the insight it gives into
Calvin’s method of interpreting Scripture,
especially the Old Testament.
In the preface the
following two sentences aptly sum up the content and
purpose of the work: "What is most important in the
study of Calvin today is to reveal what the Reformer
himself actually said, in order that misconceptions about
his teaching may be cleared away. Therefore this work is
not a critical study of Calvin but an attempt to express
his teaching as copiously, fairly, and sympathetically as
possible."

 A Vow To Love
by C. BouwmanIn this publication the
author takes us through the Bible to discern what God's
plan for marriage initially was, how the fall into sin
has twisted marriage, and how God's plan has been
restored through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In
the process he discusses the role of husband and wife in
marriage, the permanence of marriage and how to overcome
trouble in marriage, the place of sexual intimacy, the
timing and size of the family, the impact of immorality
on marriage, and so much more. He concludes that the
church's time-tested Form for the Solemnization of
Marriage accurately summarizes God's answers to the many
questions facing those who marry today.
Clarence and Arlene Bouwman recently celebrated their
silver wedding anniversary together with their six
children. In the years of their marriage, the author has
served as minister of the Word of God in four
congregations in Canada and Australia, currently serving
as minister of the Canadian Reformed Church of Yarrow,
British Columbia. He has written several other
publications, including The Overflowing Riches of my God
(an explanation of the Belgic Confession), Notes on the
canons of Dort, Spiritual Order for the Church (the
Biblical basis of the Church Order) and To Live is Christ
(sermons on the Letter to the Philippians.)
