“You have a call, Elder Wilder.” When missionary Micah Wilder set his sights on bringing a Baptist congregation into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he had no idea that he was the one about to be changed. Yet when he finally came to know the God of the Bible, Micah had no choice but to surrender himself—no matter the consequences. For a passionate young Mormon who had grown up in the Church, finding authentic faith meant giving up all he knew: his community, his ambitions, and his place in the world. Yet as Micah struggled to reconcile the teachings of his Church with the truths revealed in the Bible, he awakened to his need for God’s grace. This led him to be summoned to the door of the mission president, terrified but confident in the testimony he knew could cost him everything. Passport to Heaven is a gripping account of Micah’s surprising journey from living as a devoted member of a religion based on human works to embracing the divine mercy and freedom that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Memoirs of a Jew who was born as Emanuel Tenenwurzel in 1928 in Vilna and moved to Miechów as a child. The Polish antisemitism he experienced before the war worsened under German occupation. In early 1941 his family was interned in the Miechów ghetto, whose Judenrat he depicts as facilitating Jewish survival. His family escaped deportation and he hid in a Catholic monastery. He was sexually abused by a monk there, then hidden by a member of the Polish underground in a village. From there a good German helped him get to Kraków, where his mother and sister hid. After escaping to Hungary, he was caught trying to emigrate to Eretz Israel. He was briefly incarcerated in Yugoslavia and then in Budapest, where he met the paratrooper Peretz Goldstein, who had been sent to occupied Europe from Palestine. Claims that the paratroopers did not strengthen Jewish resistance, but increased the risk to the local Jewish underground. Under the Arrow Cross regime, he managed to obtain "Aryan" papers. After the war he encountered anti-Jewish hostility in Miechów and learned that his father had perished; he lived for some time in Germany and emigrated to the U.S. in 1952. Pp. 219-278, "Reflections", discuss hate, Islamic fundamentalism, genocide, Christianity and the Holocaust, and Holocaust historiography. Contends that to survive was heroic, to revolt was suicidal.

A New York Times and Los Angeles Times Bestseller “Doughty chronicles [death] practices with tenderheartedness, a technician’s fascination, and an unsentimental respect for grief.” —Jill Lepore, The New Yorker Fascinated by our pervasive fear of dead bodies, mortician Caitlin Doughty embarks on a global expedition to discover how other cultures care for the dead. From Zoroastrian sky burials to wish-granting Bolivian skulls, she investigates the world’s funerary customs and expands our sense of what it means to treat the dead with dignity. Her account questions the rituals of the American funeral industry—especially chemical embalming—and suggests that the most effective traditions are those that allow mourners to personally attend to the body of the deceased. Exquisitely illustrated by artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity is an adventure into the morbid unknown, a fascinating tour through the unique ways people everywhere confront mortality.
