This story contains the horrors of the Second World War committed in Nazi Germany. A stigma at the time was that all Germans were Nazis but this story renounces that belief. The Engineer is the ageless story of good versus evil, light versus darkness, and the triumph of the human spirit. A man of great Christian faith named Wolfgang Spreitzel is given the impossible task of freeing people from certain death at the Dachau concentration camp. As a train engineer for the state run railroad he has delivered people into Dachau and watched in horror as these people were unloaded from cattle cars to certain death. It is after one of these trips that God begins to reveal a plan for Wolfgang to follow. As Wolfgang follows God's instruction he is given some of the most unlikely partners to accomplish it. These steps of faith lead some to God's amazing grace, the road to redemption, love for the unloved, and hope for the hopeless. This novel's believable characters defy the Nazis and begin to free captive people from the death trains. This is accomplished by a man on a mission from God. He is simply known as The Engineer.
