Synopsis Thief Prisoner Soldier Priest by : Paul Cowley
Paul Cowley grew up in Manchester amid the chaotic world of his alcoholic parents. His early exposure to heavy drinking, explosive arguments and the unnerving aggression of his father led him into homelessness and crime. By seventeen he was behind bars. Years later, following a career in the army which 'made a man of him' yet ultimately failed to give him direction and purpose, Paul's search for meaning resulted in an unexpected encounter with God that changed his life for ever. This remarkable and touching account of his early years, from thief to prisoner, soldier and, eventually, priest, should inspire anyone who feels their life is out of control. It is, by turns, a dramatic, traumatic and comic story, yet one that stands as a testament to how God offers hope to all who have the courage to respond.

Synopsis The Priest's Prisoner by : Robert K Ryniker
Robert's narrative delves into the often-neglected aspects of World War II, spotlighting the sacrifices and adaptations of American citizens on the home front. The story emphasizes the transformation of industries, the crucial role of women symbolized by "Rosie the Riveter," and the societal shifts caused by the departure of millions of men to the front lines. It provides a unique perspective on daily life changes, rationing, and the challenges faced by families, religious leaders, and the Church in supporting the war effort while navigating the human cost of conflict.

Synopsis Surrender by : Seamus Dockery
SURRENDER - JESUIT PRIEST/SOVIET PRISONER SURRENDER is the true story of the vocation of an American Jesuit priest, accused by the Soviet era K.G.B. of being a Vatican spy, who survived fifteen years of hard labor in Siberian prison camps. Father Walter Ciszek not only survived but learned to surrender to God's Providence. SURRENDER is a narrative digest based entirely on Father Ciszek's two books: With God in Russia, (1964), published one year after his release from Russia, and his second book, He Leadeth Me, (1973), published nine years later. SURRENDER interweaves these two books and telescopes the most dramatic events of Father Ciszek's vocation and steadfast fidelity to that calling through the crucible of unjust imprisonment following the end of World War II. Hopefully, through the relative brevity of SURRENDER, the major chords of Father Ciszek's heroic embrace of God's Providence in the most extreme conditions will resonate. The reason why Father Ciszek's cause for Canonization, the process of declaration of Sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church, is currently proceeding should be abundantly evident. SURRENDER describes not the triumph of human will-power but the freedom of total dependence on God. The paradox of power to love is only born in the powerlessness of surrender of self-will to God's Providence.

Synopsis The Priest Barracks by : Guillaume Zeller
At the Nazi concentration camp Dachau, three barracks out of thirty were occupied by clergy from 1938 to 1945. The overwhelming majority of the 2,720 men imprisoned in these barracks were Catholics—2,579 priests, monks, and seminarians from all over Europe. More than a third of the prisoners in the "priest block" died there. The story of these men, which has been submerged in the overall history of the concentration camps, is told in this riveting historical account. Both tragedies and magnificent gestures are chronicled here--from the terrifying forced march in 1942 to the heroic voluntary confinement of those dying of typhoid to the moving clandestine ordination of a young German deacon by a French bishop. Besides recounting moving episodes, the book sheds new light on Hitler's system of concentration camps and the intrinsic anti-Christian animus of Nazism.

Synopsis With God in Russia by : Walter Ciszek
Father Walter Ciszek, S.J., author of the best-selling He Leadeth Me, tells here the gripping, astounding story of his twenty-three years in Russian prison camps in Siberia, how he was falsely imprisoned as an "American spy", the incredible rigors of daily life as a prisoner, and his extraordinary faith in God and commitment to his priestly vows and vocation. He said Mass under cover, in constant danger of death. He heard confession of hundreds who could have betrayed him; he aided spiritually many who could have gained by exposing him. This is a remarkable story of personal experience. It would be difficult to write fiction that could honestly portray the heroic patience, endurance, fortitude and complete trust in God lived by Fr. Walter Ciszek, S.J.
