'Hun! Hun! Hun! Hun!' Those are the words that begin this novel that takes a young boy by the name of August Hans Kruger running out of and into numerous adventures and mysteries. Augie grows up during World War I, the Great Depression and World War II in a town by the name of Jackson Junction. He struggles, both inside and outside his home, to reach the goal he has set for his life. This is a book of youthful courage, determination and faithfulness. This is a book that runs the gamut of emotions not only for Augie but also for his entire family. Augie can sit on a stump in his back yard as a youngster and see his future down a pair of railroad tracks. His future rides on freight trains, and he makes up his mind that one day he'll be an engineer on one of those trains. The reader will travel with Augie on a path full of obstacles to reach that goal. You may not always agree with Augie's behavior, but you will admire him, laugh with him and, yes, sometimes cry with him. Perhaps Pig Reardon, captain of the Michigan Central Railroad's police at Jackson Junction, says it best of Augie's 'Somewhere down them there tracks there's a paradise just waiting for us to find it ... we each gotta find our own paradise, lad ... you'll find yer's someday, lad, just as I'll find mine.' Come join August Hans Kruger on that journey to find his paradise. A paradise that isn't at all what Augie expected.

The trouble with religion is religion. Finally we have a book for all of those who have found themselves questioning the infallibility of the Bible as well as the many doctrinal teachings of their churches. The author, a Christian Maverick, shares with the reader his own "search for the truth" regarding such issues as - - the Original Sin, Hell, Trinity, Rapture, the Virgin Birth, and many others. In a very refreshing manner this book reveals some surprising facts regarding biblical errors and inconsistencies, along with strong evidence that the Bible contains mythology and alterations by scribes in order to support their manmade doctrines. Why Weren't We Told is an encouragement to those who have had difficulty accepting traditional "churchism" - - with all of its many superficial creeds. You may never again view religion in the same way.
