Belly Dancing Update

Hey Everyone! Since January, 2010 I have been teaching Belly Dancing at Sherri's Dance Studio here in N.C. Never had a large number of students, now down to 2 or 3, but we sure had a lot of laughs. Class will be discontinued end of April. But, when the Lord closes one door, He always opens a window...I'm sure you've heard that. Well, in my case He has opened 3 windows!
1. Three of my advanced students and I have been approved for a performance at the Waldensian Festival in Valdese this August.
2. Sherri has kindly invited us to share her time slot at the Morganton Festival in September.
3. I will be teaching an Aerobics class at my church starting some time in June.
No revenue from all of this...yet. I have decided to leave our finances in the Lord's hands. He's gotten me this far. He won't drop me!
I will sign off with my "stage name"...Janina.

Secret Holocaust Diaries

How thoughtful of our Lord to tell Nonna to write in her diaries so that her family would be remembered, never forgotten. What a terrible piece of history, but wonderful at the same time for her husband and children to be able to have tangible ancestral roots. Nina

The Secret Holocaust Diaries: The Untold Story of Nonna Bannister

Tyndale House Publishers (March 4, 2010)

***Special thanks to Vicky Lynch of Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. for sending me a review copy.***

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Nonna Bannister was a young girl when World War II broke into her happy life. She went from an idyllic early-twentieth-century Russian childhood, full of love and comforts, to the life of a prisoner working in labor camps—though she was not a Jew—eventually bereft of her entire family. But she survived the war armed with the faith in God her grandmother taught her and a readiness to start a new life. She immigrated to America, married, and started a family, keeping her past secret from everyone. Though she had carried from Germany the scraps of a diary and various photographs and other memorabilia, she kept it all hidden and would only take it out, years later, to translate and expand her writings. After decades of marriage, Nonna finally shared her secret with her husband . . . and now he is sharing it with the world. Nonna died on August 15, 2004.
