The Secret Holocaust Diaries:
The Untold Story of Nonna Bannister
by Nonna Bannister,
with Denise George and Carolyn Tomlin
Tyndale House Publishers, released April 2009
Russian-born Nonna Bannister hid her secret Holocaust diaries (in her Memphis, Tennessee home attic) for a lifetime from her husband, children, and friends. A few years before she died, Nonna revealed her secret diaries to her husband, Henry. She gave Henry permission to tell her story only after her death. Henry honored her wishes, and two years after Nonna died, he told her story and revealed her hidden Holocaust diaries.
In her own words, through her hidden diaries, Nonna (age 14) tells the story of her Russian hometown overrun by Nazi soldiers, her father’s brutal death, and her journey by cattle car train to Hitler’s concentration-work-camps during World War II. She describes in great detail the trauma she experienced, as well as her mother’s death in a concentration camp oven. Nonna was the only member of her family to survive the War and Hitler’s cruelty.
What Pastors Wish Church Members Knew: Helping People Understand and Appreciate Their Leaders
by Denise George
Zondervan, released January 2009
(From the book: “A crisis is happening in the pulpits of our churches today. Our pastors are hurting in silence. They are suffering from physical exhaustion, overwhelming stress, painful loneliness, deep emotional scars, spiritual burnout, and disillusionment. They have a lack of money, lack of friends, lack of time, and lack of confidence in their abilities and ministries.
“Our pastors are leaving us. They are abandoning their pulpits—disappointed, disgusted, and deeply wounded—by the thousands each year.”)
In her research for this book, Denise George interviewed hundreds of church pastors from forty different denominations. They ranged in age from twenty-five to ninety (and every year in between). The number of members in their churches varied from fifteen members to twenty thousand members (and every number in between). These pastors had served in ministry from as little as three years to as many as fifty-seven years.
The results of George’s survey, and the stories pastors told her, will surprise, and maybe even shock, today’s church member.
