On May 8th 1954 the French stronghold of Dienbienphu, in Vietnam, fell to the forces of Ho Chi Minh, ending 80 years of French rule. Dienbienphu is generally viewed as the beginning of the escalating involvement that led America into its longest war. In fact, Dienbienphu was merely the middle of a protracted struggle for Vietnam, a diplomatic struggle that had begun in 1941, as World War II raged. In this book, the author draws on documents never before analyzed, painting a complex picture of diplomatic manoeuvre and colonial ambition.

The Case That NeverDies places the Lindbergh kidnapping, investigation, and trial in the context of the Depression, when many feared the country was on the edge of anarchy. Gardner delves deeply into the aspects of the case that remain confusing to this day, including Lindbergh’s dealings with crime baron Owney Madden, Al Capone’s New York counterpart, as well as the inexplicable exploits of John Condon, a retired schoolteacher who became the prosecution’s best witness. The initial investigation was hampered by Colonel Lindbergh, who insisted that the police not attempt to find the perpetrator because he feared the investigation would endanger his son’s life. He relented only when the child was found dead.
After two years of fruitless searching, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a German immigrant, was discovered to have some of the ransom money in his possession. Hauptmann was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. Throughout the book, Gardner pays special attention to the evidence of the case and how it was used and misused in the trial. Whether Hauptmann was guilty or not, Gardner concludes that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of first-degree murder.
Set in historical context, the book offers not only a compelling read, but a powerful vantage point from which to observe the United States in the 1930s as well as contemporary arguments over capital punishment.

While fighting a battle against cancer the author was visited by Jesus in a series of night time visits. It was as though he had been lifted beyond the constraints of time and space to meet with Jesus in the future at the judgment seat. The judgment turns out to be a sit-down series of conversations with Jesus. Those conversations form the content of this book.

The Eliezer Call is written to call the Bride of Christ to rise up and come to her Bridegroom, Christ the Lord. It is based on the story in Genesis 24 in which Abraham sends his servant Eliezer to choose and bring home a bride for his son Isaac. Abraham depicts the Father God, Eliezer, the Holy Spirit sent from the Father, Isaac depicts Christ and Rebekah, the bride who returns to marry Isaac.

The Heresy of Diotrephes is a scriptural expose of the one-man form of leadership common in the organized church. It sets forth the scriptural basis for plural leadership and participatory ministry on the part of all Christians. It hints of a new wineskin being prepared by God to contain His new wine.

Have we allowed church life to become so complicated and mingled with the world’s ways that we are producing something other than what is the desire of God’s heart? This book makes the case that God always intended that his church remain simple and pure in its devotion to Christ. The church is the family of God headed up by the Father, redeemed by the Son, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and composed of the children of God who love him and one another. God is calling us all to this place of simplicity and purity in which we break free of the world’s clutches and live in the freedom and joy of his kingdom expressed in his church. Listen with your spiritual ears and you will hear the call and be blessed to come back to the church Christ died to build.
