Best Selling Books by Michael Todd

Miša je igriv devetletnik, ki živi v najboljšem mestu na svetu, v Pragi, in rad igra nogomet. Ko v njegovo rojstno mesto vkorakajo Nemci, se vse spremeni. Zgodovina se odvija pred njegovimi očmi, posrka ga vase in Miša se sooči z najhujšo nočno moro. Očeta, pomembnega moža v praški judovski skupnosti, nekega večera odpeljeta dva esesovca in Miša ga ne vidi nikoli več. Nemci vsak dan kaj prepovejo: Judje ne smejo več v šolo, ne smejo v kino ali trgovino, ne smejo igrati nogometa v parku, ne smejo opravljati svojega poklica. Vzamejo jim domove in jih prisilijo, da nosijo zvezdo rumene barve. Mišo ta zvezda še posebej žge, saj, prišita na prsih, že od daleč naznanja, kdo je. In ko mora Miša Prago nazadnje zapustiti, se mu sesuje svet. Njega, mamo in sestro Nemci pošljejo v koncentracijsko taborišče Terezín. Terezín je grenko-sladka izkušnja, družba nešarimov – orlov, kot se imenujejo fantje iz njegove sobe, mu da krila, da preživi. In še vedno je Terezín dovolj daleč od mesta na vzhodu, od kraja, kamor vozijo transporti in ki se mu reče Auschwitz. Avtor Michael Gruenbaum se je odločil, da svojo življenjsko zgodbo pove mladim bralcem, saj si želi, da se grozote, ki jih je videl in doživel, ne bi nikdar več ponovile. Todd Hasak-Lowy, dejanski pisec besedila, pa ni hotel le povzemati dogajanja, bralca je postavil in medias res in mu s prvoosebno pripovedjo v sedanjiku omogočil vstop v središče dogajanja. Roman je napisan tako, kot je dogodke videl Miša, z njim jočemo in se veselimo, predvsem pa tudi nas na prsih žge tista rumena zvezda. Knjiga je prevedena v številne jezike, med drugim v češčino, nemščino, francoščino, ruščino, ukrajinščino in grščino. Prejela je mnoge nominacije in nagrade, med drugim National Jewish Book Award, Parent’s Choice Gold Medal Award, Eureka! Nonfiction Children’s Book Silver Award.

When Michael Todd began substitute-teaching at the age of nineteen, he never realized in how many ways his group of hormonal eighth graders would change his life, and the ways in which he would change theirs. Jareds problems were carved into his wristfifteen and his arms are all scratched up. Janet was quite flirtatious, naïve, and to the boys, contagious. Nick was head of the Scholars Bowl, but held a secret deep inside. And Jesses got a new red lighter. Upon meeting this unique group of troubled teens and others, Michael Todd was faced with the obstacle of not only teaching, but reaching them and making a difference in their lives. With this in mind, the slim nineteen-year-old headed out to look beyond the childrens struggles and help them realize all that they could become.

Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to act with crazy faith? Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms. There are many things that seem normal today that at one point in time seemed crazy. Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faith--one that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines. But it''s crazy faith that helps us see God move and reveals his promises. In this five-session video Bible study, bestselling author and pastor Michael Todd reveals how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if we have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, we can become empowered to let go of our lazy faith, trust God through our hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. Sessions and run times include: Starting Out (Baby Faith and Maybe Faith) (18:00) Getting Stronger (Waiting Faith and Wavy Faith) (17:30) Obstacles to Avoid (Lazy Faith and Fugazi Faith) (16:00) Moving to the Next Level (Trading Faith and Stating Faith) (18:00) Finishing Strong (Fading Faith and Saving Faith) (18:30) This pack contains one study guide and one DVD.

As a male Christian leader, the question is not whether you struggle with sexual integrity, but how you struggle. Counselor Michael Todd Wilson understands the challenges of sexual sin and temptation and provides honest, grace-filled counsel drawn from years spent helping men experience hope and transformation.

From family in Georgia to leading a convoy in Iraq, I faced relentless danger, executing missions under fire, enduring IED attacks, and surviving a severe injury that required evacuation. My journey reflects resilience and commitment in a war zone. Leaving behind my loved ones, I embarked on a mission that would test my limits and redefine my understanding of courage. As I led the first heavy truck convoy from Kuwait to Baghdad in May 2003, I was thrust into the heart of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The mission was not just about transporting supplies; it was about establishing a foothold in a country on the brink of transformation. Over the next few months, I executed suburban missions, escorting personnel and equipment five times a week, playing a crucial role in the startup of the Organization for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance (ORHA). By July 2003, my responsibilities expanded as I collaborated with the army, running multiple missions daily from the Green Zone to Baghdad International Airport. Each journey was fraught with peril, as I navigated through a landscape riddled with IEDs, ambushes, and RPG attacks. The constant threat of indirect fire loomed over us, yet we pressed on, driven by a sense of duty and purpose. The culmination of my service came on September 3, 2004, when a devastating IED explosion changed my life forever. Severely wounded, I was evacuated through Germany, ultimately returning to Georgia with a new perspective on sacrifice and survival. My story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity, capturing the essence of what it means to serve in a conflict zone.

It''s time to bring the pain, and Heavy Metal knows how to make that happen. Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle... What do you do when a mercenary team comes looking for trouble in your base... In your home? There is a problem with Courtney''s company and those that wish to have Courtney step down. Amanda and Anja are working on the base and have purchased an AI to help. Unfortunately, the AI had to be purchased after-market and already has a personality. What do you do when a prurient AI is connected to a ton of guns all around your house? Heavy Metal is fighting inside the ZOO and outside the ZOO. Is their ability to hide the bodies outside of the ZOO going to cause problems? There is a billionaire on one side and our team on the other. One side has money and access to guns, the other side has been matured in the ZOO. Does the billionaire even have a chance? In the ZOO, you always expect the unexpected. Can Salinger keep his friendships afloat and stay out of the claws (or mouths) of the denizens of the ZOO AND the law this time? Salinger Jacobs is working to build his company as fast as possible.

Or it might actually play into a later book with funny talk about men''s vs. women''s abilities and capabilities. There is ABSOLUTELY cursing in this book. LOTS of upset cursing, cursing out of anger, fear, and other emotional issues related to carnivorous alien flora or fauna eating humans who don''t say ''darn.'' LOTS of gratuitous cursing just because the author finds it funny, too. There is death and sadness...and more death. In fact, it''s a blender of blood out in the ZOO. Man vs. Alien nature seems to justify ugly results. Plus, people have emotional hang-ups. Expect to smile, laugh, cry, and perhaps have a spate of jealousy or two. Further, there might be explicit sex, thank you sex, and you''re welcome sex. Finally, there is no Coke in the ZOO. That is probably the worst and most offensive trait in these stories. This is Michael Todd, and I approve of the shenanigans pulled within the ZOO stories.

Sex and sexuality are hot topics these days. But many single adults are tired of the "how far is too far?" approach because it doesn''t go far enough. Why does the discussion stop at the physical? What about the deeper spiritual and relational aspects of sexuality? Pioneering Christian sex therapists Doug Rosenau and Michael Todd Wilson team up in this helpful and hopeful book about understanding sexuality and intimacy beyond what our "do it if it feels good" culture says it is. Providing a much-needed spiritual perspective to the sexuality debate, the authors tackle difficult topics from a biblical foundation to help single adults establish practical models for maintaining purity and creating a healthy sexuality. With real-life personal stories, Soul Virgins helps singles accept their sexuality as a godly discipline. Rosenau and Wilson provide a 3-D discussion of body, soul, and spirit that proves sexuality is ultimately more about relational intimacy than just the physical act of sex.
