Here are the books:
The Bible Jesus Read: Why the Old Testament Matters by Philip Yancey Writing with keen insight into the human condition and God’s provision for it, he sets off on a personal journey through the parts we most like to keep at arm’s length—Job, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and the Prophets—and he asks us to bring our own questions, concerns, and our openness to the wonders of God.

Discipleship in a World Full of Nazis: Recovering the True Legacy of Dietrich Bonhoeffer by Mark Thiessen Nation “Things do exist that are worth standing up for without compromise. To me it seems that peace and social justice are such things, as is Christ himself.” He called on his fellow Christians to speak out against a state that was engaging in oppressive measures, to respond to victims of oppression, and to be willing to suffer, as a church, if it was required to stop such oppression. His vision for training disciples was rooted in pure doctrine, serious worship, a new kind of monasticism, and the Sermon on the Mount.
The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom In World War II she and her family risked their lives to help Jews and underground workers escape from the Nazis.

This is her incredible true story–and ultimately the story of how faith, hope, and forgiveness triumphed over unthinkable evil.
