A Journey of Souls

First edition released to the public and subsequently re-released as 'Crusade of Tears,' part of the 'Journey of Souls' series. In 1212, the most tragic of all the crusades was ventured--a crusade of children in which more than 50,000 young souls set upon a determined march toward Jerusalem. The book tells the story of young Wilhelm, Karl and Maria who leave their home in the tiny village of Weyer in 1212 to join the crusade. The group will journey through Germany, across the towering Alps, and into the depths of Italy with their ultimate aim being the reclamation of Jerusalem from the Turks. Along the way, they met an aged, yet agile Pieter, and his dog, Solomon. Soon the youthful group will grow to more than 20 with the addition of other children, most of whom were destitute and unwanted. 
This heart-wrenching, nearly forgotten misadventure is now told through the lives of this brave band, these "Innocents" and Pieter, their wily priest. Their inspiring march of faith through the perilous world of medieval Europe leads them to discover what they did not expect.

When the British arrive in Philadelphia on the heels of the departing American army, Joseph Galloway begins compiling a list of influential men loyal to the Crown--a list that could threaten the future of the young nation. While the misery and the dangers of British occupation bring turmoil into the lives of Philadelphians--loyalist and patriot alike--the destiny of liberty hangs on the tip of a quill pen poised above a piece of parchment. A meticulously researched novel based on a mystery that changed the course of the American Revolution, 'The List' brings to life the times that set us free. Highly recommended for young and old.

The List

In a time when tyranny is claiming a kingdom, a giant of a knight and his gracious wife rise from England's green meadows to strike a blow for liberty. 'Swords of Heaven' is a carefully researched epic tale based on the true life story of the unsung heroes of Magna Carta--Sir William Marshal and Isabel de Clare. Filled with action, suspense, romance, and intrigue, Baker's novel delivers the reader into the very midst of the breath-taking events that rescued liberty.

In World War II, American soldiers were shocked to discover thousands of German POW's carrying New Testaments. Christians serving Hitler? Never before undertaken in a novel, 'The Seduction of Eva Volk' explores the reality of this not-so-simple paradox from the German point of view. Through the eyes of young Eva Volk, the alluring charm of the Hitler movement is personified in a lover. Desperately seeking wholeness in her broken world, she is quickly swept away by the passions of love and war...until she finds herself facing the consequences of blindness. Her's is a story that serves as a warning to us all. Admittedly disturbing, Baker's important novel is rooted deeply in years of research including interviews with Manfred Rommel--the son of the famous German Fieldmarshal and countless veterans of both the battlefield and the German home front. His work will forever change the way you understand history, and yourself.
