NOT the whole book. An SS officer is found standing over the body of a comrade, a smoking pistol still in his hand, a murder in a place of murders. His pleas of innocence force a court martial and he knows that there is only one man in the camp capable of defending him; a Jewish prisoner called Manfred Meyer. Manfred Meyer is forced to build a defence for him in his court martial. Drawing on his years of experience as a criminal lawyer in Berlin, Meyer must unravel the deceit and interpret the lies that infect the concentration camp and work to have him found not guilty. Following Meyer and his family through their lives in Berlin, the Nazi rise to power and their inevitable arrest and incarceration in Auschwitz, Meyer will do almost anything to see his wife and children. Almost anything. Can his abilities as a lawyer interpret the facts of this seemingly impossible case? As a Jew, should he even defend an SS officer? And is he actually guilty of this crime? But the officer must be found innocent if Meyer is to see his family again. This story follows Manfred Meyer, from his beginnings as a lawyer in 1930s Berlin after being taken under the wing of the city's most capable defence lawyer in the most prestigious law firm in Germany, Bauer & Bauer. Meyer's confidence and experience build as his cases become more complex and more difficult to defend. His success is widespread and he, his wife Klara and their twin daughters live a comfortable life in the capital. But Germany is changing. The Nazi Party has come to power and Meyer's Jewish heritage has become a crime. Life becomes more and more difficult until even in spite of Meyer's connections he is forced to leave his position as Bauer & Bauer's pre-eminent lawyer. Then, one night, the inevitable knock at the door heralds the long train journey to the east and the death camps of Poland for Meyer, his wife and his children. Split from his family on arrival, Meyer does what he can to survive in a place designed for death. He stays alive with help from the other inmates he has befriended, helping each other through the long days of hard labour, his only wish being that he could see his family again. A forlorn hope until circumstance throws a real chance his way.

The word is out. Another Dead Sea Scroll has been unearthed. And this one says the two mortals who first walked the earth were not a man and a woman, but two DUDES! Here's the account of how they met, fell in love, committed the grievous sin of disobedience (not concupiscence) and fell from from grace. Like they say, reading is believing ...The venue is, as in the older versions, a garden. Two young men are having a chat in that lovely spot. The one who is slightly older is Adam, the other, Steve. They have just met but already love is in the air. Which is hardly surprising since there is hardly anything else to do in this place except fall in love and breathe fresh air -- and of course partake in a particular pastime that even the dumb beasts are particularly fond of. But Adam and Steve don't get to live happily ever after the way Hans Christian Andersen would probably have wanted it if he'd written the tale. A third party comes into the picture. He's quite different from the other two, being half-man and half-snake, with quite a devilish disposition. He manages to seduce Steve into believing that if the other ate a certain forbidden forbidden fruit (and made Adam do the same), the two would turn into supermen! The fruit was plucked, chomped and digested but those two didn't turn into demi or even quasi-gods. Instead all hell breaks loose when the Big Boss arrives on the scene and discovers he has been DISOBEYED!You think you know the tale but rest assured you've never heard it told this way before. Enjoy!

What is it about poetry that captures your soul? Deepening soul will take you to a place that will elevate the mind, body, and spirit. Deepening soul deals with love, peace, & heartbreak. It delves deep into the bottom of your soul. Deepening soul is soul wrenching!I wrote a short poem briefly touching over some issues I have with our society.These issues are mostly on my personal views but they're close to my heart and I strongly support them. I believe if people stop following blind faith and stop living such a "cookie cutter" lifestyle, they'll be able to see the world isn't so black and white. Life is complex and so are our problems. No one should be able to tell you who to love or disvalue a life. Enjoy.
