This work is the first-hand account of the oppression and persecution of the millions subjected to the unprecedented dictatorships of Hitler and Stalin. Ranging from the personal humiliation and political ostracism of his family for being peasant farmers, to the grand scale of dehumanizing institutions and methods of both Communism and Nazism, Charles Turkís My Fatherís Words places human faces on the millions of silent victims of 70 years of totalitarian rule in Eastern Europe. However, this story does not end there. Unable to speak or read English, Turk escaped to Austria in 1956 and immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee from the Hungarian Uprising. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean was the easiest length of his personal journey, bolstered only by his faith in God and the wise words of his strict and humble father.

His position as the Crown Prince of Nadia is denied him because the Tawshe have a secret they kill to keep.

What if the heavens were to open and, amid all the grandeur of God's Creation, you found yourself in a one-on-one conversation with God? Would you wonder if this was a dream? In what could have been a tragic accident, Jimmy, a precocious eleven-year-old boy, is about to experience the ultimate odyssey of a guided tour of the Creator's workshop.Jimmy, now a grown-up, shares his experience with kids by unlocking the secret inner workings of the gadgets they love and use every day. He does this in a special hands-on science clubhouse called My Father's Workshop. Unfortunately, many young people today cite science as the reason for not believing. For too long, these children have been the target of an agenda to remove God from their young lives, an agenda carried out by science education in our public schools. This brainwashing has mostly gone unchallenged, until now. My Father's Workshop is a truly original and tenderhearted story finely tuned to a child's faith and curiosity. It is an intricately-woven tapestry that combines the science of Genesis with God's perfect love and His plan for salvation. It is a Bible study and a science lesson rolled into one. Like many stories that have happy endings, you might want to keep some tissue handy for an occasional tear or two.
