When the Nazis invaded Hungary in 1944, they sent virtually the entire Jewish population to Auschwitz. A Jew and a medical doctor, the prisoner Dr. Miklos Nyiszli was spared death for a grimmer fate: to perform "scientific research" on his fellow inmates under the supervision of the man who became known as the infamous "Angel of Death" - Dr. Josef Mengele. Nyiszli was named Mengele's personal research pathologist. In that capacity he also served as physician to the Sonderkommando, the Jewish prisoners who worked exclusively in the crematoriums and were routinely executed after four months.

El cerebro de mi hermano es un relato de la evolución de un padecimiento degenerativo en el seno de una familia. Recuerdos, emociones, temores y expectativas, el singular proceso de adaptación a lo impensable, el dolor de atestiguar la extinción de un ser querido, pero también la historia compartida, los años, los lugares, las pasiones conjuntas, la apertura a la conciencia del propio final, el ajuste de cuentas inexorable con lo vivido....

Many amazing stories of international missions were written in the past. Stories that compelled us to follow God with great passion and faith have stirred our hearts over the decades. But is God still doing amazing things in missions today? Are there stories that still can challenge our hearts and stir our commitment to serving God in modern times? We answer a resounding yes! We witness heart-stirring, real-life drama that is our daily reality of God breaking the strongholds of darkness and opening doors of resistance to His amazing gospel message here in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.

The Plasma Pioneer reveals the remarkable true story of Charles Richard Drew, the African American physician whose scientific genius collided with the brutal realities of segregated America. When the U.S. military demanded that blood donations be segregated by race—despite Drew's own research proving the practice scientifically baseless—he made a decision that would define his legacy: he resigned from the program he created rather than compromise his principles.

In Return to Joy, Dr. Keith Kahle offers a raw, deeply personal exploration of the long-term effects of “father-wounding”—a form of trauma rooted in unmet emotional needs, silence, or absence from a paternal figure. Drawing from his own life experiences, Kahle examines how these wounds manifest throughout adulthood in relationships, physical and emotional health, and personal identity. With a blend of memoir, medical insight, and compassionate storytelling, he shows how seemingly minor childhood messages can create lifelong patterns of shame, reactivity, and self-doubt.

"Avendo fuggito ogni altro lavoro per paura, mi ritrovo a fare il lavoro che fa più paura a tutti". Quante volte parliamo dei medici come di eroi, martiri, vittime...
