A whirlwind of art, music, and lust, Life on Sandpaper is Yoram Kaniuk's overwhelming autobiographical novel detailing his years as a young painter in the New York of the '50s. Wounded and alienated, a war veteran at the age of nineteen, Kaniuk arrives in Greenwich Village at its peak period of artistic creativity, and finds his way among such giants as Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Willem de Kooning, and Frank Sinatra. In terse prose, inspired by the associative and breathless drive of bebop, Kaniuk's memories race between the ecstatic devotion of his beloved Harlem jazz clubs, through the ideological spats of the dying Yiddish world of the Lower East Side, to the volcanic gush of passion, pain, art, dance, alcohol, and drugs that was Greenwich Village. Kaniuk's stories roll and tumble here with hypnotic urgency, as if this were his last opportunity to remember, and tell, before all is obliterated.

The cross of Christ has long been a historic and revered religious icon as well as a divine dividing line within humanity. The powerful Pure Flix film Do You Believe? ushers the timeless question of the meaning of the cross to a deeply personal place: What does it mean to me? Is it only a symbol or truly salvation? The Do You Believe? Devotional is a 40-day journey centered around the eternal evidence and powerful proof of the great love of God with the sacrifice offered for humanity associated with only One, His Son, Jesus Christ. In the film, a challenging question is brought before our politically correct culture: If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? Regardless of your own answer to such a question, or the place in life you may find yourself, these 40 days can be an investment into your future and more importantly, your eternity as you pursue a deeper level of faith for yourself. The Do You Believe? Devotional book is a daily walk through the word of God with inspiring quotes from the film. It offers a respite from the rush of life and the peace and hope made available only through the cross.

Surrounded by no good options, much less safe ones, Desiree Jacobs knows that no matter what she must protect her father's reputation and his legacy. If Desiree Jacobs knows anything, it’s art. Her father, whose security company is internationally renowned, taught her everything he knew. Most of all, he taught her about honor. Integrity. Faith. So surely God will forgive her for despising the one man--Special Agent Tony Lucano, who's determined to destroy her father’s good name? Agent Lucano knows that Hiram Jacobs is an art thief. But what he can’t figure out is Desiree. Is she an innocent victim…or a clever accomplice? When Hiram is murdered, along with his company, he leaves Desiree a hidden container full of stolen paintings. But she can’t believe that her father was a thief! If it were true, it would destroy their business, cost people their jobs, and embarrass international museums that have been displaying clever forgeries. No, she must figure out why her honest father would turn criminal herself. Even if it means facing down a ring of cutthroat art thieves…or accepting help from the man she most distrusts. With danger at every turn, can Desiree trust God to guide her down the right path?
