Girl in Hyacinth Blue $17.5 Appeared on the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Newsday, Los Angeles Times, Wordstock, NCIBA, and Independent bestseller lists A selection for the first Book Sense 76 list Named a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly, the Christian Science Monitor, and the San Francisco Chronicle Five printings in hardcover Nominated for the Book Sense Book of the Year The Penguin edition features a stunning package with a step-back cover From the Library Journal Pearls were a favorite item of Vermeer, observes Cornelius Engelbrecht, the secretive and obsessive professor whose conviction that he owns an authentic Vermeer launches Vreeland’s lovely first novel. The painting, we soon discover, was taken from its proper (Jewish) owner by Engelbrecht’s father, a German soldier during World War II–a fact that Engelbrecht struggles mightily to suppress. The one colleague to whom he shows the painting guesses the truth and derisively recommends that he burn it– one good burning deserves another –but we don’t learn the fate of the painting. Instead, Vreeland constructs a series of vignettes, not necessarily chronological, that takes us from the rooftops of Amsterdam Jews forced to kill the pigeons they are no longer allowed to keep, to a Dutch merchant whose possession of the painting briefly complicates his marriage, to the boudoir of a French counsel’s bored wife and the second story of a farmhouse in flooded Holland, and finally to the home of Vermeer himself, where art does battle with domestic necessity. Though the connections among the vignettes could be made clearer, and the ending feels abrupt–how did that painting get from the artist to the weary professor, and what finally happens to it?–each vignette has the stillness, the polish, and the balanced perfection of a Vermeer. Not quite perfect, but definitely a pearl. Griet, the girl with the pearl earring, may be a pearl herself–fair, soberminded, and gentle– |

Novels By Elizabeth Kostova $8.31 Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: The Historian. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Historian is the 2005 debut novel of American author Elizabeth Kostova. The plot blends the history and folklore of Vlad epe and his fictional equivalent Count Dracula. Kostova’s father told her stories about Dracula when she was a child, and later in life she was inspired to turn the experience into a novel. She worked on the book for ten years and then sold it within a few months to Little, Brown, and Company, which bought it for a remarkable . The Historian has been described as a combination of genres, including Gothic novel, adventure novel, detective fiction, travelogue, postmodern historical novel, epistolary epic, and historical thriller. Kostova was intent on writing a serious work of literature and saw herself as an inheritor of the Victorian style. Although based in part on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Historian is not a horror novel, but rather an eerie tale. It is concerned with history’s role in society and representation in books, as well as the nature of good and evil. As Kostova explains, “Dracula is a metaphor for the evil that is so hard to undo in history.” The evils brought about by religious conflict are a particular theme, and the novel explores the relationship between the Christian West and the Islamic East. Little, Brown, and Company heavily promoted the book and it became the first debut novel to become number one on The New York Times bestseller list in its first week on sale. As of 2005, it was the fastest-selling hardback debut novel in US history. In general, the novel received mixed reviews. While some praised the book’s description of the setting, others criticized its structure and lack of tonal variety. Kostova received the 2006 Book Sense award for Best Adult |

The Truth and Fiction in the Da Vinci Code: A Historian Explores What We Really Know about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Constantine $15.94 A staggeringly popular work of fiction, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code has stood atop The New York Times Bestseller List for well over a year, with millions of copies in print. But this fast-paced mystery is unusual in that the author states up front that the historical information in the book is all factually accurate. But is this claim true? As historian Bart D. Ehrman shows in this informative and witty book, The Da Vinci Code is filled with numerous historical mistakes. Did the ancient church engage in a cover-up to make the man Jesus into a divine figure? Did Emperor Constantine select for the New Testament-from some 80 contending Gosepls-the only four Gospels that stressed that Jesus was divine? Was Jesus Christ married to Mary Magdalene? Did the Church suppress Gospels that told the secret of their marriage? Bart Ehrman thoroughly debunks all of these claims. But the book is not merely a laundry list of Brown’s misreading of history. Throughout, Ehrman offers a wealth of fascinating background information-all historically accurate-on early Christianity. He describes, for instance, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (which are not Christian in content, contrary to The Da Vinci Code); outlines in simple terms how scholars of early Christianity determine which sources are most reliable; and explores the many other Gospels that have been found in the last half century. Ehrman separates fact from fiction, the historical realities from the flights of literary fancy. Readers of The Da Vinci Code who would like to know the truth about the beginnings of Christianity and the life of Jesus will find this book riveting. |

Atheists and Agnostics Take Aim at Christians?
This article is very true, as we see it here right on the R&S Site..
Thoughts?
A new evangelistic movement has emerged in America. Yet this effort does not spring from those loyal to a particular faith or religious view.
The new evangelists are atheists. People who have determined there is no God or who doubt His existence (a group commonly known as agnostics) are adopting a more aggressive, intentional effort to discredit the notion that God exists
Beyond the bestseller lists, however, a new survey shows there is indeed a significant gap between Christians and those Americans who are in the “no-faith” camp. For instance, most atheists and agnostics (56%) agree with the idea that radical Christianity is just as threatening in America as is radical Islam

Religion should certainly be challenged, so this is a good thing.
