    This book presents the remarkable personal journals of German soldier Hans Roth. Writing as events transpired, he recorded the mystery and tension as the Germans deployed on the Soviet frontier in June 1941. In these journals, battles are described in "you are there" detail, as Roth wrote privately, as if to keep himself sane, knowing that his honest accounts of the horrors in the East could never pass through Wehrmacht censors. When the Soviet counteroffensive of winter 1942 begins, his unit is stationed alongside the Italian 8th Army, and his observations of its collapse, as opposed to the reaction of the German troops sent to stiffen its front, are of special fascination. 
     
     
     
    Roth's three journals were discovered many years after his disappearance, tucked away in the home of his brother, with whom he was known to have had a deep bond. After his brother's death, his family discovered them and quickly sent them to Rosel, Roth's wife. In time, Rosel handed down the journals to Erika, Roth's only daughter, who had immigrated to America. Hans Roth was doubtlessly working on a fourth journal before he was reported missing in action in July 1944 during the battle known as the Destruction of Army Group Center. Although Roth's ultimate fate remains unknown, what he did leave behind is an incredible firsthand account of the horrific war the Germans waged in Russia.

    “What do you think happens after we die?” has been Elizabeth Earley’s favorite conversation starter since the motorcycle accident that almost killed her. In Little Deaths All in a Row: Essays on Sex and Death, Earley delves into memories of past lovers and offers vivid portraits of the hospice patients she has worked with after recovering from her own near-fatal injuries. Tracing the many connections—philosophical, scientific, ethical, and spiritual—between sex and death, these lyric essays ponder the afterlife, pain and pleasure, quantum entanglement and love, and the “strange and painful goodness of being alive.”

Lastly, her unusual grasp for ´Portuguese quaintness´ also makes this book worth buying.” David Peres Rebelo

    From John Paul II, to Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King Jr. and others in between, Too Many, by author James Syver, shares the stories of twenty people who have impacted history and the lives of many. Each was moved to state their trust and belief in their Creator, and in large measures, credit Him for their work. 
    This collection of Christ-inspired histories explores the individuals’ lives and the impact they’ve had on society. Syver discusses each person’s background and character, what propelled them forward, how they inspired future generations, and how they were guided by their faith. 
    Offerings of lives well lived, ‘Too Many’ shares how each of these twenty people influenced the world because they, in their time, listened, and acted. From contemplations to inspiring actions and from many different pages of history, these vignettes underscore a personal belief and trust in the divine. 
    If you like your work and love your country then you will enjoy ‘Too Many’.
