From bestselling and eight-time Christy Award–winning author Lynn Austin comes a remarkable novel of sisterhood, self-discovery, and romance set against the backdrop of WW2.

1950. In the wake of the war, Audrey Clarkson leaves her manor house in England for a fresh start in America with her young son. As a widowed war bride, Audrey needs the support of her American in-laws, whom she has never met. But she arrives to find that her longtime friend Eve Dawson has been impersonating her for the past four years. Unraveling this deception will force Audrey and Eve’s secrets—and the complicated history of their friendship—to the surface.

1940. Eve and Audrey have been as different as two friends can be since the day they met at Wellingford Hall, where Eve’s mother served as a lady’s maid for Audrey’s mother. As young women, those differences become a polarizing force… until a greater threat—Nazi invasion—reunites them. With London facing relentless bombardment, Audrey and Eve join the fight as ambulance drivers, battling constant danger together. An American stationed in England brings dreams of a brighter future for Audrey, and the collapse of the class system gives Eve hope for a future with Audrey’s brother. But in the wake of devastating loss, both women must make life-altering decisions that will set in motion a web of lies and push them both to the breaking point long after the last bomb has fallen.

This sweeping story transports readers to one of the most challenging eras of history to explore the deep, abiding power of faith and friendship to overcome more than we ever thought possible.

There was a young man called Larry, we grew up in the same town but were never friends. Everyone knew Larry, he was one of them guys that was always down on his luck.

Nothing seemed to go right for him.

One day we got into a conversation. Larry had lost his job, and his wife was about to leave him. He was depressed as he could see no way out. So, I shared with him a simple habit that helped me out of many difficult situations.

It wasn’t the first time I had given Larry advice, so I thought nothing more about it… About 6-8 weeks later, I met Larry.

At first, I didn’t think it was him. He had to introduce himself.

Up until that moment, any time you would meet him, he would be unshaven and casually dressed. But that day the man that stood before me was smartly dressed and walked with an air of confidence.

When we sat down, I expected him to tell me that he had won the lottery or something like that, but instead, he thanked me for the advice. Telling me how his life had completely turned around…

The advice I shared with Larry is contained within this book.

In Man: the Dwelling Place of God, A.W. Tozer reveals what it truly means to have Christ within us.

It is such a private, intimate place that no one can intrude but Christ, and even He will enter only through an invitation of faith. Once the Spirit enters the core of the believer’s heart and establishes residence there, man becomes a true child of God. What it truly means to have Christ within us – like leaving your old life behind, understanding the Bible, making godly choices, loving God for Himself, Christian fellowship, and more.

Aiden Wilson Tozer was an American evangelical pastor, speaker, writer, and editor. Born into poverty in western Pennsylvania in 1897, Tozer died in May 1963 a self-educated man who had taught himself what he missed in high school and college due to his home situation.

After coming to Christ at the age of seventeen, Tozer found his way into the Christian & Missionary Alliance denomination where he served for over forty years.

Living in God’s Two Kingdoms illustrates how a two-kingdoms model of Christianity and culture affirms much of what is compelling in these transformationist movements while remaining faithful to the whole counsel of Scripture. By focusing on God’s response to each kingdom—his preservation of the civil society and his redemption of the spiritual kingdom—VanDrunen teaches readers how to live faithfully in each sphere.

Highlighting vital biblical distinctions between honorable and holy tasks, VanDrunen’s analysis will challenge Christians to be actively and critically engaged in the culture around them while retaining their identities as sojourners and exiles in this world.
