When driving south along the Delaware Atlantic Coast between Rehoboth and Bethany, several concrete towers, weathered by the ocean, can be seen on the beach. They are symbols of a nation at war, built to safeguard the Atlantic Coast from a German sea invasion during World War II. When the towers were built, there were soldiers stationed along the coast and even a German POW camp. McKenna is a young woman living with her family in Ocean View, Delaware during World War II. Her lifeand the lives of the people she lovesis turned upside down by the arrival of a young man named Kurt. Kurt grew up in Germany. With the rise of Hitler, his father moved quickly up the military ranks, so Kurt was eventually expected to do the same. He begrudgingly became a German spy. Undercover in America, Kurts loyalties wander, especially when he meets McKenna. Fighting the darkness of war, they find light in each other, but how can Kurt love her while living a lie? Its time to make a choice: will he forsake the woman he loves or the country he serves? The horrors of war are wrought with difficult decisions as Kurt and McKenna struggle through tragedy, patriotism, and the power of self-discovery.

Come Ye Apart -: This book is a calendar for devotional reading. At the top of each page is a verse of Scripture, and the texts chosen are made to cover the earthly life of our Lord. The readings which follow each text are intended to be neither exegetical nor expository, but practical and promotive of a devotional spirit. They are exceedingly full of suggestions to duty, and encouragements to a holy life. It is a good book to take into one's "inner chamber" as a help to devout meditation upon the words of our savior.James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

The More advanced we become the more temptations there are to face. In Girls: Faults and Ideals Miller addresses the need for a personal relationship with Christ for girls and young women. Young Men: Faults and Ideals - A sequel to Girls Faults and Ideals giving young ladies an opportunity to show their opinion on qualities of young men.Secrets of Happy Home Life - "Home is among the holiest of words. A true home is one of the most sacred of places. It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world's perils and alarms. It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battle and toils of tomorrow. It is the place where love learns its lessons, where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded. Out of the homes of a community comes the life of the community."

"It is gratifying to the author that this "Silent Times" Series of books, which has been running now for twenty years, is still in such favour on both sides of the sea. Fully a million and a half of these and the author's other books and booklets have been scattered over the world. This new volume is sent out in the hope that, like the others, it may carry cheer, comfort, and help to many good people here and there."James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Morning Thoughts for Every Day of the Year is a collection of verse and thoughts to help set the mind upon a positive path for that day. Each day is arranged with space to write your own thoughts."Nothing is more helpful in Christian living than the habit of getting a verse or phrase of Scripture into the mind and heart in the morning. Its influence stays thought the day, weaving itself into all the day's thoughts and words and experiences. It is to help in this practical way that this little book has been prepared. For each morning of the year a word of scripture is set down, with brief meditation which may help to fix it in the mind and suggest its application to the life of the day, No definite order has been followed in the arrangement of these meditations, "Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable.""

"This book is dedicated to those who want to grow better. If you are satisfied with yourself you would better not read it, for it might spoil your contentment."It is sent out with the hope that it may be helpful to some, first in showing glimpses of better things, and then in leading toward them. It is written for people who have common human experiences, in the heart of the world's toil and care; one who is a fellow-pilgrim with like experiences would lend a brother's hand."Perhaps a discouraged one may take heart again after reading some of these simple chapters; or one who has not thought seriously of life may grow a little more earnest; or one who has fallen by the way may rise and face toward the light and begin to live victoriously; or a fainting robin mat be helped back into the nest again. That will be blessing enough."

The Chapters in this little volume may have their message to some who are striving to live near the heart of Christ. It is the hidden life that makes the character. What we are in the depths of our being, where no human eye can penetrate, that we are actually, as God sees us. Then this inner life will ultimately work its way through to the surface, transforming the character into its own quality. Nothing can be more important, therefore, than that the hidden life be true, pure, beautiful, and Christ-like.

"Handfuls of Grass for the Lord's Hungry Sheep"In Green Pastures is a devotional including daily readings for every day in the year. Each day is arranged with space to write your own thoughts.We may not always need a boost to our day but an encouragement or reminder are always helpful and when a genuine boost is needed this book will help to guide."The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.He makes me lie down in green pastures;He leads me beside quiet waters."Psalm 23:1-2

The Lord's Prayer is short, but every word of it is laden with precious meaning. In its few petitions it covers the whole field of prayer. It is easy to repeat its sentences, for it is hard to say it through as a real prayer, for it means the consecration of our whole life to God, and the submission of will, affections, and service to him. These chapters are not expositions --- they are no more than studies. Their aim is to help in a devotional way by calling attention to the meaning of the several petitions, which too often is lost to our thought because of our familiarity with the sacred words.

Counsel and Help is a collection of daily readings selected from the writings of J. R. Miller. They are specifically selected to help set your mind upon a positive path for that day and carry you through the year. Each day is arranged with space to write your own thoughts.Christian Endeavour Times: "In this admirable series of selections, averaging half a page in length, the sweetness and light which give to all the author's work distinction seem to be focused, and the result is a little book which in its own way is without a peer."

"Dr. Miller's genius is seen at its best in this book, and many as have been the expositions of that wonderful discourse of our Lord's, 'The Master's Blesseds' takes a place which none of the others have filled.

"A theological professor used to say to his students, "Never fail in any service to have at least a word of comfort. No congregation, however small, ever assembles, but there is in it one person in sorrow, who will go away unhelped, if in scripture lesson, hymn or prayer, there is nothing to lift up a heavy heart.""No book for devotional reading would be complete, however full of other lessons, if it contained nothing for those who are in sorrow. In this little volume special prominence is given to the ministry of comfort, in the hope that the book may make some hearts braver and stronger in the hard and painful ways of life. It is affectionately dedicated to those who are called to pass through trial."James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

"Suddenly there was such a violent earthquakethat the foundations of the prison were shaken.At once all the prison doors flew open, andeverybody's chains fell off!" Acts 16:26There is no prison too strong for God to break open;there are no chains too heavy for Him to snap asunder,there are no walls too thick for Him to shatter.There are other kinds of prisons besides those builtwith stone--prisons of trial, of temptation, of trouble,of circumstances. If we are in any of these prisons,God is just as able to bring us out of them!James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Practical Religion is a collection of chapters written out of the author's own experience in the hope that they may do a little, at least, to make the path plainer for others. It is not meant to show people an easy way of living - there is no easy way to live worthily - but it seeks to show why it is worthwhile to live earnestly, at whatever cost.Practical Religion is designed to be a companion to Week-Day Religion, which met with wide favor and has been used by the Master to help many people over the hard places and up to a fuller, richer life. Practical Religion is sent forth in the hope that it may have a ministry of encouragement, stimulus, comfort or strength in some lives of toil, care, struggle or sorrow.James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois. He was the General field Agent for the United States Christian Commission, an organization established by the Young Men's Christian Association after the First Battle of Bull Run.

We all want to make our lives beautiful. We are God's children, and should live as those who have heaven's glory in their souls. We have within us immortal possibilities, and he is as one dead who does not strive to realize the beauty that is folded up in his life.A beautiful life is one that fulfills its mission. In Secrets of a Beautiful Life J. R. Miller aims to guide us through our mission. "Every man's life is a plan of God." One who attains that for which he was made lives beautifully, however lowly his life may be. The aim is to keep God's commandments, to do God's will, to realize God's purpose.

"The point at which many Christians fail in the using of divine truths is the point at which doctrine should be transmuted into life. They know and honor the Bible as the word of God, and sincerely wish to conform their lives to its inspired teachings, but have difficulty in applying them to the actual experiences of daily life. This book is offered as a humble help in this direction. Its aim is to bring the divine lessons down, and give some hints of the way they may be used on common days and in the actual experiences of those days."The title, Silent Times, is suggestive of the need of seasons of quiet in every life that would grow into full, rich beauty. It is suggestive also of one particular use that may be made of the book, - the reading of its chapters, or portions of them, in the Silent Times, of busy, feverish days, as helps in the direction of true Christian growth. The book is sent out in Christ's name, and with the hope that it may make the way a little plainer for some earnest pilgrims, and religion a little more real, and that it may become a lamp for some dark ways, and a staff for some rough and steep paths."James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

"These chapters contain simple lessons, intended to incite to braver, stronger, truer living.

"Recently a little book was published bearing the title: "Girls: Faults and Ideals." It contained quotations from letters of a number of young men concerning the points indicated in the title. Many young ladies have written to the author suggesting that there should be a book bearing on the Faults and Ideals of young men, and that the young ladies should have an opportunity to show their opinion. This seemed a fair and proper request, and this little book is the result."James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

"Home is among the holiest of words. A true home is one of the most sacred of places. It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world's perils and alarms. It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battle and toils of tomorrow. It is the place where love learns its lessons, where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded. Out of the homes of a community comes the life of the community, as a river from the thousand springs that gush out on the hillsides.""This little book may come into the hands of some whose home happiness has been shattered - its torn fragments lying now on the ground. It would be a comfort to the author if these simple words should put fresh hope into a discouraged heart, and thus be the hand to help restore the home to its true place, amid the branches of the tree of love."James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

"Learning to love is a long lesson. It takes all of the longest life to learn it. The most inveterate obstacle in mastering the lesson is self, which persists with an energy which nothing but divine grace can overcome. When no longer we seek our own in any of our relations with others, we have learned to love. Until then we still need to stay in Christ's school."James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

"The real power in Sunday School teaching is not methods, important as it is to have the best of these, nor in equipment, valuable as this is, but in the teacher's own spiritual life. "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit," is the divine revealing of the secret of power in all Christian work.
