"You're a rebel and in this business, rebels are either extremely
good or extremely dead...." 1939. The storm clouds of war are
gathering over Europe and the conundrum faced is whether the Soviet
Union will reach a peace concord with Nazi Germany. How can Britain
plan for war with Germany without knowing Stalin's intentions? The
Baltic states hold the key and in particular Russia's old Grand
Duchy, Finland. One man can make a difference and Alex Carlton is
recruited by MI2 (the division of Military Intelligence that deals
with Russia and Scandinavia) to go undercover in Finland to gain
insight into Finnish intentions; but will Alex's past be a help or
hindrance? As he progresses through training and prepares for his
mission, Alex's life becomes complicated by love and intrigue that
nearly derails his assignment... and that would upset Winston
Churchill himself!
"History has shown there are no invincible armies" Josef
Vissarionovich Stalin November 1939. Stalin has signed a
non-aggression pact with Hitler and is focussing on reclaiming the
former Grand Duchy of Finland. Alex Carlton is sent undercover as a
Swedish newspaper correspondent to monitor the developing situation
and report back to MI2, in London. As soviet bombers drop their
bombs on Helsinki, Alex arrives in Finland and soon finds himself
embroiled in the political and military efforts of a small Baltic
state facing the might of Russia. He is captivated by the sheer
determination of the Finnish people, and the skill and mastery of
their military leaders as they defend their country against
overwhelming odds, inflicting devastating casualties on the Soviet
aggressor. For the 105 days the war lasted, Alex faces danger and
risk, and after it is all over, he discovers that life is even more
complicated when the country is at peace.

Worship. It isn't an entertaining showcase for a talented soprano
or a lecture on textual criticism or a pleasant weekly reunion of
friends and family. Instead, true worship is a joyous celebration
of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And, as we
actively turn our hearts toward God in earnest praise of God's
great works, God in turn speaks to us and blesses us with a healing
and renewing touch. In this life-changing and dynamic book, Robert
Webber declares that worship is not "something done to us or for
us, but by us". It is the most exhaustive demonstration of our
faith and the most intimate form of relationship we can have with
our Savior. Complete with a guide for group or personal study,
Worship Is a Verb will show you how to leave the dull confines of
the pew and enter the courts of the Living God.

In 1944, twelve Death Row convicts are selected by Major Reisman
(Lee Marvin) for a suicide mission. With the aid of his assistant,
Sergeant Bowren (Richard Jaeckel), Reisman gradually moulds his
gang of murderers, rapists, thieves and psychotics into a tough
fighting unit. He leads them into occupied France in an attempt to
infiltrate a chateau where the Nazi top brass are holding a summit.
Telly Savalas, Charles Bronson, John Cassavetes and a then-unknown
Donald Sutherland are among the dozen.
