A wise man, (wiser than my brother Bill), once said: "Life is like a box of chocolates..." I don't know what that has to do with this book, but it sure says a lot about my brother Bill. My life on the other hand is like a banana split. When people look at me they see a mostly vanilla ice cream, cherry-on-top, kind of guy. Everything seems pretty normal. Oh sure, there are some cracked peanuts sprinkled on top, but that only warns them that I may be a teensy-weensy bit nuts. What they really can't see, is that under it all...I've gone bananas! A hilarious book sure to make you laugh.

This story contains the horrors of the Second World War committed in Nazi Germany. A stigma at the time was that all Germans were Nazis but this story renounces that belief. The Engineer is the ageless story of good versus evil, light versus darkness, and the triumph of the human spirit. A man of great Christian faith named Wolfgang Spreitzel is given the impossible task of freeing people from certain death at the Dachau concentration camp. As a train engineer for the state run railroad he has delivered people into Dachau and watched in horror as these people were unloaded from cattle cars to certain death. It is after one of these trips that God begins to reveal a plan for Wolfgang to follow. As Wolfgang follows God's instruction he is given some of the most unlikely partners to accomplish it. These steps of faith lead some to God's amazing grace, the road to redemption, love for the unloved, and hope for the hopeless. This novel’s believable characters defy the Nazis and begin to free captive people from the death trains. This is accomplished by a man on a mission from God. He is simply known as The Engineer.
