Here’s the set-up:

Vanquished by tyranny, their fight for freedom rages. Amidst the struggle, proof of their stolen faith is discovered. And a nation rises.

The “Songs of the Deliverer” novels tell the story of a man sent to fill the void left by the death of the baby in the manger. Two centuries after the baby Jesus was deprived of his destiny as the fulfillment of the biblical prophecy, Emmanuel comes to bring hope to the hopeless and to reveal the path to new life. He reveals himself to be the Christ, the one sent from above, and religious congregations form to worship him and follow his path. But a ruthless King threatened by the people’s dedication to the new Savior, decrees that the veneration of Emmanuel cease and all relics of him be destroyed. It’s as if Christ never was.

Now, in Resurrection of Freedom the fourth book in the series, a battle for freedom is waged on the streets of the country. In the midst of this revolution, young grade school students are thrust into the eye of the storm and come face to face with the tyrannical ruler who deprives them of their liberties.  Ensnared in extraordinary circumstances not of their making, these students stake their futures in the revolution sweeping the country. Trapped and on the verge of defeat, an unlikely hero emerges to lead the way out. His trading chip – an item of the forsaken Christ that could change everything. An offer is made to the despot who agrees to a deal: reveal the proof of the vanquished savior or the students will be incarcerated for the rest of their lives. With time running out, the ransom is paid. Will the promise be kept?

Resurrection of Freedom is the closing installment of the “Songs of the Deliverer” Christian fiction series that reimagines the story of Christ in modern day. A Modern Day Story of Christ commences the series with the telling of how one man can save the world. Faith Wins reveals the spiritual devotion of those who went forth to make the truth of Christ known to people everywhere. Serving as a prequel, Glory Born is the memoir of an old man who befriends an orphan girl. Their unlikely alliance saves the baby who will fulfill the 7:14 prophecy written in scripture: a young woman shall bear a child who will be named Emmanuel – God is with us. Resurrection of Freedom is the culmination of the series and results in the birth of a new nation conceived by God and founded on the principles of liberty and equality for all.

Through the ordeals of everyday people, Resurrection of Freedom shows that faith is ours to cherish as long as freedom prevails. Inspired by the example of the Teacher who shows that the greatest love is to give one’s life for a friend, the most important lesson of all is taught: blC. Upon this cornerstone of Christian goodness, a great America is born.

“Songs of the Deliverer are we. Divine miracles walking in harmony with Christ on the way to forever. We are the manifestations of God, the Author of life, and we are the outpourings of His holy love. God’s truth abides in us, always in us, only in us.” from Resurrection of Freedom

“Songs of the Deliverer” by Elvo Fortunato Bucci is a beautiful novel. There is no other word to describe the potency and the effortless way it was written. The textual complicity with the Bible is amazing, plus the multi-level text gives the perfect spark to an already powerful story.” from Rabia Tanveer, Readers Favorite

Written with teens and young adults in mind, “Songs of the Deliverer” can be enjoyed by readers of all ages who want to know Christ more.

The Story

Can you ever escape the past?  Kiran Wells, a thirtysomething professional living on the West Coast, thought he was safe until an anonymous letter arrives from his hometown. Its only contents- an old newspaper clipping about a drowning twenty years earlier. Leaving career and friends behind, Kiran returns to the place of his youth to find the conjurer of his past.

Kiran is a quiet and shy teenager with a taste for alternative music growing up in a suburban northern town during the mid-80’s. The arrival of two students, the confident and rebellious Marius and the naive, cloak-wearing Moony, awaken Kiran.  On the eve of graduation, fate turns the volume off in Kiran’s world and his memory fades to black.

Returning to his hometown, Kiran is forced to confront the demons that haunt him.  His future depends on whatever hope he has left and the life or death decision he must ultimately make. Will he hear the music again?

Here’s the set-up:

Katherine Paterson’s remarkable Newbery Medal-winning classic about a painful sibling rivalry, and one sister’s struggle to make her own way, is an honest and daring portrayal of adolescence and coming of age.

A strong choice for independent reading, both for summer reading and homeschooling, as well as in the classroom, Jacob Have I Loved has been lauded as a cornerstone young adult novel and was ranked among the all-time best children’s novels in a survey published by School Library Journal.

“Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated . . .” With her grandmother’s taunt, Louise knew that she, like the biblical Esau, was the despised elder twin. Caroline, her selfish younger sister, was the one everyone loved.

Growing up on a tiny Chesapeake Bay island, angry Louise reveals how Caroline has robbed her of everything: her hopes for schooling, her friends, her mother, even her name. While everyone pampers Caroline, Wheeze (her sister’s name for her) begins to learn the ways of the watermen and the secrets of the island, especially of old Captain Wallace, who has mysteriously returned after fifty years.

The war unexpectedly gives this independent girl a chance to fulfill her dream to work on the water alongside her father. But the dream does not satisfy the woman she is becoming. Alone and unsure, Louise begins to fight her way to a place for herself outside her sister’s shadow. But in order to do that, she must first figure out who she is…

Here’s the set-up:

“The Gray House is enigmatic and fantastical, comic and postmodern…Rowling meets Rushdie via Tartt…Nothing short of life-changing.” —The Guardian

The Gray House is an astounding tale of how what others understand as liabilities can be leveraged into strengths.

Bound to wheelchairs and dependent on prosthetic limbs, the physically disabled students living in the House are overlooked by the Outsides. Not that it matters to anyone living in the House, a hulking old structure that its residents know is alive. From the corridors and crawl spaces to the classrooms and dorms, the House is full of tribes, tinctures, scared teachers, and laws—all seen and understood through a prismatic array of teenagers’ eyes.

But student deaths and mounting pressure from the Outsides put the time-defying order of the House in danger. As the tribe leaders struggle to maintain power, they defer to the awesome power of the House, attempting to make it through days and nights that pass in ways that clocks and watches cannot record.

A Read Russia Prize Finalist.
