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.
Johnny Cornflakes:
A Story About Loving The Unloved
by Denise George
Christian Focus Publishers, released May 2010
It all started as an ordinary dinner party. But life was about to change forever for Denise, the new-in-town young minister's wife. Displaced from the security of her childhood home to work with her husband in the slums of Boston, it is while serving a candlelight dinner to friends that Denise encounters the town drunk–the entirely unloved Johnny Cornflakes. With his dramatic and unwelcome appearance, he spoils her picture-perfect social gathering and sets the stage for Denise's growing contempt of him.
In the next surprising turn of events, Denise meets Johnny again–this time at the church's Friday night Coffee House. As a group of troubled teenagers read from Matthew 25, the words of Jesus tug at their hearts when they are confronted by the noisy entrance of homeless, cold and hungry Johnny Cornflakes. It is the gaping hole in his shoe that captures their attention, and armed with compassion, they forge a plan to help this mysterious stranger.
The heart-warming tale of Johnny Cornflakes is based on a true story, presented in vivid detail by master storyteller Denise George. The narrative offers hope even in difficult places, challenges our attitudes toward others and shows how God can work in the most unexpected ways through the most unlikely, unloved people.
