Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisWe had to do it. We had to reprint this book. Rarely has a book had such an impact on so many of us here at Ignatius Press. It is one of the most powerful and moving books we have come across. If you can only buy one book this season, this must be the one. Here is the astonishing true story of the harrowing experiences of a young German seminarian drafted into Hitler's dreaded SS at the onset of World War II. Without betraying his Christian ideals, against all odds, and in the face of Evil, Gereon Goldmann was able to complete his priestly training, be ordained, and secretly minister to German Catholic soldiers and innocent civilian victims caught up in the horrors of war. How it all came to pass will astound you. Father Goldmann tells of his own incredible experiences of the trials of war, his many escapes from almost certain death, and the diabolical persecution that he and his fellow Catholic soldiers encountered on account of their faith. What emerges is an extraordinary witness to the workings of Divine Providence and the undying power of love, prayer, faith, and sacrifice. Illustrated

Amazing survival story!
This autobiography is easy to read. It's hard to put it down. The events which came together to accomplish Gods plan were shown to be clearly providential (and choreographed) to achieve Gods purposes. The author was in danger of death on a daily basis, for many years during the war, and periodically during his POW days. It is hard to fathom a seminarian being drafted into the SS, and then not being killed by those Nazis within the SS, who hated religion, Catholicism, faith, and especially priests, monks, nuns, and bishops. Gereon was fearless and was always looking to what God would want in any given situation. In those cases he did very little to reduce his exposure and risks. Gereon is a "larger than life" persona. He was tall and imposing and did not hesitate when he needed to fight for a cause. Nor did he back down when threatened. Whether it was knocking out a bully with a crashing fist or pulling a gun on an uncooperative churchman, he was ready to do what needed to be done and he did so without a lot of fore thought.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fantastic true tale!
What a read! It’s an amazing tale of reality being more unbelievable than fiction. Definitely makes you see the world around you different - if you have the time - I would recommend the unabridged. There are just so many tales in the abridged that left me wondering about the details.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Gives a good hint that God will help this man overcome his trials in life.
Gives great hope and confidence that God does give miracles to those that ask and have faith. Gives proof that prayer is very powerful and necessary for us to become close to God.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
