Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Striving to Make a Difference Against the Power of the Third Reich

Jack Cavanaugh, novelist and skilled researcher, opens the window to the riveting but less-known story of Christians in Hitler’s Germany. Pastor Josef Schumacher and his family were introduced in While Mortals Sleep, Book One in the SONGS IN THE NIGHT series.

Pastor Schumacher has risked everything to stand against the evils of Nazism, working closely with a small group of young people in his congregation to influence them toward righteousness amid very difficult circumstances. One of those young people is now Second Lieutenant Konrad Reichmann. For all Schumacher’s fervent prayers and impassioned pleas, the Hitler Youth movement has won Konrad’s loyalty. But now on the Russian Front, he has discovered that reality bears no resemblance to the glory of the Third Reich. Even lower than his unit’s morale are supplies and fuel as Russia’s winter is unleashed. When the slaughter of innocents further disillusions him, Konrad embarks upon a bold and dangerous plan.

About the Author
Being a student of history, Jack Cavanaugh has always been fascinated by the forces that have attempted to destroy Christianity throughout the ages. The stories of those who have endured such severe persecution has inspired him in his Christian walk.

Not only does he enjoy reading the stories of martyrs and reformers, but he loves telling their stories. It is his goal as a Christian novelist to transport his readers back in time so that they can see what it was like to live as a believer in a different time and place. It was this overall goal that led him to Germany in the 1930s. The result is a journey back in time to the 1930s to the home of a young pastor, his wife, and a youth group that is being trained in the ways of the Third Reich through a growing youth movement; the series, SONGS IN THE NIGHT. Book 1 of this series, While Mortals Sleep, won a Christy Award.

A popular inspirational speaker, he holds a degree in history from Grand Canyon University and an M.Div. from Southwestern Seminary. Jack and his wife make their home in Southern California.

I've read the first two installments in the Songs in the Night series. Both were excellent reads, with Under His Watchful Eye being even better than the first. I couldn't put it down. As a library director, I have recommended to many of my patrons and nearly everyone has rated it a ten! I'm waiting for the third book to come out this year...hopefully.

I love this book. It was so easy to get caught up in everything that was happening, and I couldn't put the book down until I had finished it. I highly recommend it.
