Fifteen-year-old Lina is a Lithuanian girl living an ordinary life -- until Soviet officers invade her home and tear her family apart. Separated from her father and forced onto a crowded train, Lina, her mother, and her young brother make their way to a Siberian work camp, where they are forced to fight for their lives. Lina finds solace in her art, documenting these events by drawing. Risking everything, she imbeds clues in her drawings of their location and secretly passes them along, hoping her drawings will make their way to her father's prison camp. But will strength, love, and hope be enough for Lina and her family to survive?

A moving and haunting novel perfect for readers of The Book Thief.

Paradigm Shifting Information!
Format: Kindle
I met and heard Jack Frost teach on this subject matter back in 1998 and 1999. It was profound revelation that began a healing process for those of us in the audience. People can only give out what was put in them. Children who were neglected in any way, verbally put down, emotionally hurt, negatively impacted, and/or abused by either parent, or both parents have a brokenness in their spirit that continues into adulthood. If that brokenness is allowed to linger those adults have children and carry on the same patterns in similar fashion. Self worth is eroded by experiences that create a self belief that we are unlovable or non deserving of a Heavenly Father's embrace of love and acceptance just the way we are which in turn promotes lasting change. Jack Frost was incredibly articulate in his teachings of the truth from God's word about how God really feels about us. Even if someone had great parents, the enemy is so cunning and very deceptive to plant thoughts of doubt and unbelief in a persons mind that hinders the truth about experiencing the Heavenly Father's embrace. I'm so glad that the family and ministry of Jack Frost put his teachings in books for the world to read and learn the truth. Jack has passed away but his words live on and our recorded in his books. I highly recommend all his books if only for gaining a fresh new perspective and insight. His teachings will always be relevant and current because the subject matter is always on going.

Power and personal exposition of God's love as Father
Format: Kindle
Frost draws heavily upon his own personal experiences yet he founds his words upon Scripture. There are a few points where i would question his exegesis. Nonetheless he teaches the wonderful truth that God is our Heavenly Father who deeply loves us. He contrasts this with the lie that he is a distant angry God who is not interested in our lives on an individual level. This is a great book for anyone who grew up with a less than ideal father because how your father treated you will shape how you view God.

Life changing truth - helped me tremendously!
Format: Paperback
This book has principles I have never heard taught anywhere else. They have changed my life as I incorporate them into my heart and mind. One of the most powerful is that you already have all the love your heart is looking for. You simply need to learn how to receive it. You have the Holy Spirit and He is the Source of all love. So simple, yet so profound and life changing. Teach your soul how to receive His love and you will notice a huge difference in your mindset, your emotions, your enjoyment of life, etc. I've read this book twice in order to really try to get this truth inside me. I have bought many copies of this book and given them to friends who also say that it has changed their life. I highly recommend it. God's love is something we all long for deeply, yet we hear such little teaching on. You can also get some of the author's teachings on CD at his web site: [...] He has graduated to his heavenly reward, but his wife continues his ministry today.
