Lauralee Bliss is all about adventure—both in her books and in life. Having written thirty books and hiked over 10,000 miles on many trails including the famous Appalachian Trail twice, Lauralee brings her passion for adventure to both readers and the wanderers. Her hope is that you will live well the journey God has planned for your life.   

We are featuring, Escape from Amsterdam. Helen Smit believed she was called by God to become a teacher. Little does she know that her care for kids will take a drastic turn for survival when the Germans occupy Amsterdam and Jewish children and parents begin to be deported. Now all she can think of is helping all the kids escape before it’s too late.   

Erik Misman’s newfound love for Helen is tested when he joins a plot to help move Jewish children to a safe place in the countryside. If danger can foster a closer bond with Helen and save the lives of the little ones, he will do it all. But a German patrol that stumbles upon the farm where they are hiding with three children and a soldier who takes an unexpected interest in Helen, could well destroy their plans for safety and love.

But Jesus won't take advantage of His popularity. And His teachings contradict everything Judas is working towards. How will Judas choose between loyalty to Jesus and betraying Him for the thirty pieces of silver needed to free his long-long mother?
