“I pray that God forgives them…”
Corrie ten Boom stood naked with her sister Betsie watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner. “Oh, the poor woman,” Corrie cried. “Yes. May God forgive her,” Betsie replied. And again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed. Both women had been sent to the camp for helping the Jews. Christ’s spirit and words were their guide; it was His persecuted people they tried to save – at the risk of their own lives; it was His strength that sustained them through times of profound horror.

‘David lay quite still in the darkness of the camp, waiting for the signal.
“You must get away tonight,” the man had told him. “Stay awake so that you’re ready just before the guard is changed. When you see me strike a match, the current will be cut off and you can climb over – you’ll have half a minute for it, no more.”
Silent and watchful, David, the boy from the camp tramps across Europe, knowing that at any moment they might catch up with him.

For Omri it is a dream come true when the plastic American Indian he locks in a cupboard comes to life. His new companion is everything an Indian brave should be – proud, fearless, defiant.
But being responsible for a real, live human being is complicated - especially when even stranger things happen – wondrous, dangerous…magical things.
