"When Money Dies" is the classic history of what happens when a nation's currency depreciates beyond recovery. In 1923, with its currency effectively worthless (the exchange rate in December of that year was one dollar to 4,200,000,000,000 marks), the German republic was all but reduced to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, artworks, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staples such as bread; a cinema ticket could be bought for a lump of coal; and a bottle of paraffin for a silk shirt. People watched helplessly as their life savings disappeared and their loved ones starved. Germany's finances descended into chaos, with severe social unrest in its wake. Money may no longer be physically printed and distributed in the voluminous quantities of 1923. However, "quantitative easing," that modern euphemism for surreptitious deficit financing in an electronic era, can no less become an assault on monetary discipline. Whatever the reason for a country's deficit--necessity or profligacy, unwillingness to tax or blindness to expenditure--it is beguiling to suppose that if the day of reckoning is postponed economic recovery will come in time to prevent higher unemployment or deeper recession. What if it does not? Germany in 1923 provides a vivid, compelling, sobering moral tale.

King Solomon of Israel left a time bomb we're ignoring.
British scientist and atheist Simon Archer heads to Malaysia seeking a cure for his daughter's leukemia. But he finds himself trapped in the time of King Solomon, among a people who love God. Shaken by their unquestioning faith, Simon's worldview is further challenged when he is healed through prayer.
Traveling from past to present, few believe his story, and his family disintegrates. Can he save his daughter and his marriage?
As Simon's faith grows, King Solomon's fades, leaving a legacy that has reached us today. Will we listen? Can we learn?
Or is the only lesson we learn from history that we never learn from history?
