Robert Damm was just a teenager when he enlisted in the army during World War II. His autobiography recounts his experiences in the South Pacific, in particular the battles in New Guinea and The Phillipines.
Parts of the book are funny, parts are tragic, but through it all he keeps his faith in God. Mr. Damm tells about having out of body experiences, and about an angel who saved his life during a battle. I read the whole thing in one day–it kept my attention and I couldn’t put it down until I was finished.
For a glimpse into the life of a young soldier in World War II, it is a very good story, one you’ll want to read.

Emily Sachs from Triumph Dining sent me a copy of The Essential Gluten Free Grocery Guide, 2nd Edition. This book is a very good starting place for someone new to the gluten free diet. It is a straight-forward list of things you can buy in regular grocery stores that are gluten free.
Here is what Emily wrote in the letter she sent me along with the book:
“…The goal of this guide is not top replace thoughtful label reading, but to provide shoppers (particularly the overwhelmed, newly diagnosed) a starting poing to find the right products. By helping people safely and efficiently allocate their label-reading time, we hope they can focus more on friends, famiy, and all the other things that make life special…”
The guide is set in sections that correspond to the different grocery aisles, and include Dairy & Eggs; Beverages; Baking; Canned & Packaged Goods; Packaged Sides, Meals, & Meal Helpers; Condiments, Sauces, & Dressings; Cereal & Bread; Snacks & Convenience Foods; Baby Food & Formula; Frozen Foods; and Meats.
The products are listed in alphabetical order by brand. It is very easy to find the products you are looking for by name. If you don’t know what brand is gluten free, just look up the item you want to find, such as Soup, then look at that page to see what your choices are. Easy peasy!
