    My favorite of All books EVER

    No review can do justice to this book. My mother bought it years ago, lent it to my grandfather. It became his favorite book. Years later i found and read it. Couldn't put it down. It is now my favorite book. Gripping , real, inspiring. I am extatic that i can have it as an ebook for it is hard to find in hard or soft copy.

    Fast Pace, Exciting, Amazing, Read Like a Novel!

    This is the amazing story of a German Franciscan on his way to priesthood when WWII broke out and he was forced to fight for the Germans, before being ordained a priest. The story and bravery of this young German is remarkable. As an American Catholic (of German descent)it was interesting to hear the perspective of what it was like to be a German Catholic, in the Nazi army describing his story of what it was like to be fighting the Americans. He eventually convinced the Pope to ordain him even though he hadn't finished his studies, in order that he could give last rites to dying Nazis soldiers. It really opened my eyes to the true Universality of the One Catholic Church, and how the Pope is the Pope of all Catholics and all people, even ones of warring nations. What a Diplomat, and heavy cross the Holy Father must bear. Fr. Goldmann's story will inspire you, keep you up late at night, flipping the pages as you read this real life story about a courageous and brave Catholic Priest in the German Army, who made it all the way to the SS without ever killing a person, risking his life to his Higher Calling, serving God. This book is so good you forget that it is even an Autobiography at times. It reads fast like a novel, you won't want to put it down. I would Highly Recommend this to anyone Christian or not. You will not be disappointed and may find yourself inspired.

    Faith can move mountains...

    the story makes you think about how much you believe. gives a sort of inner strength and the knowledge that in the midst of all tragedy, one is never alone.
