The Stories They Tell : Artifacts from the National September 11 Memorial Museum (0847841715)

This poignant selection of artifacts-and their stories-from September 11 provides an official, lasting record of that day's experience. In both text and photography, the story of September 11 is told through a selection of powerfully moving artifacts from the 9/11 museum's collection that serve as touchstones to the day and its aftermath. From crushed FDNY trucks to the steel that was pierced as planes struck the Twin Towers, from victims' property pulled from the wreckage and returned to families (who later donated the property to the museum) to spontaneous memorials collected from around Ground Zero, the array of objects tell complex and often surprising stories. Poignant artifacts as monumental as the Vesey Street staircase-which offered an escape for thousands fleeing the towers-and as intimate as a loved one's wedding band or last recorded phone message are selected to illuminate people's experiences during and after September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993.

What Jesus Demands from the World : "All Authority In Heaven And On Earth Has Been Given To Me" - Jesus (9781844741717)

In the four Gospels, Jesus Christ makes many demands, which are addressed both to his followers and to others. These demands show us who Jesus is and what he expects of us. They are not the harsh requirements of a taskmaster, however, but rather the command of the life-giver to come and have life. What Jesus demands from the world can be summed up as 'Trust and treasure me above all.' In 'What Jesus Demands from the World', John Piper has gathered many of Jesus' demands from the Gospels. He provides a brief outline of Jesus' person and work to set his demands in context, and then examines them in fifty concise chapters. In this way he offers an accessible introduction for thoughtful enquirers who would like to know Jesus, new believers who are getting to know him, and established believers who want to know him better.

A Thousand Splendid Suns (9781594483851)

"Just as good, if not better, than Khaled Hosseini's best-selling first book, The Kite Runner."--Newsweek Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today. Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of
