In this remarkable; historically significant book; Mordecai Paldiel recounts in vivid detail the many ways in which; at great risk to their own lives; Jews rescued other Jews during the Holocaust. In so doing he puts to rest the widely held belief that all Jews in Nazi-dominated Europe wore blinders and allowed themselves to be led like “lambs to the slaughter.†Paldiel documents how brave Jewish men and women saved thousands of their fellow Jews through efforts unprecedented in Jewish history. Encyclopedic in scope and organized by country; Saving One’s Own tells the stories of hundreds of Jewish activists who created rescue networks; escape routes; safe havens; and partisan fighting groups to save beleaguered Jewish men; women; and children from the Nazis. The rescuers’ dramatic stories are often shared in their own words; and Paldiel provides extensive historical background and documentation. The untold story of these Jewish heroes; who displayed inventiveness and courage in outwitting the enemy—and in saving literally thousands of Jews—is finally revealed.

It's about time...By KEGProvidence is about God's time and grace and our role in it. The book provides a fast-paced and yet deep overview of the terrain of where American (protestant) religion; culture; and politics are today; how we got here; and a possible pathway through the thickets. It is conservative (in the good sense); but Webb deals fairly with the liberal viewpoint; summarizing and presenting its POV clearly and fairly. His assertions; premises; and conclusions are clear and transparent; making this a wonderful overview and an engaging; though thick; read.He is a good conversation partner; you may disagree; but you will know why; and you will understand why many will agree with what he has to say.
