Koehler's mind is amazing and he has the literary skills to match. Simply reading this book, both your mind and your heart will be expanded. You won't see the world quite the same after reading it, so in a very real way the world won't be the same. Koehler is one of those extraordinary souls who makes you think a bit differently about the world - and thus he changes it, one essay at a time." - Marianne Williamson, author of Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment Koehler is "someone who has fought through unthinkable adversity and made a mission out of offering the world a view of peace, cooperation, benevolence and self-education taken on for the common good. I don't know many people in the world, if any, who are putting their shoulder to so noble a task. ... He empowers his readers to find the highest levels of personal philosophy in the most innocuous of places." - Jason Stoneking, author of Audience of None
Award-winning peace journalist Robert C. Koehler provocatively trespasses beyond consensus thinking and settled boundaries of conventional reporting, into the risky realms of secular spirituality and the human heart. In the process, he breaks down walls separating 'news' from caring.In Courage Grows Strong at the Wound, Koehler takes you on a journey that begins with his own grief ' losing his wife to cancer in 1998 ' through the events that shaped our young tumultuous century, culminating in the experience of an Iraq war veteran speaking at the Winter Soldier hearings in Washington, D.C., describing what it's like to look through the sights of a rifle at a six-year-old Iraqi boy. This spellbinding book is a plea for sanity and disarmament, a celebration of the wonder of life and a cry of faith in an empowering love that can save us. Koehler has received thousands of letters over the years from readers who were moved, sometimes to tears, by his piercing, prayerful essays.

There was never any doubt that Emma Burgemeister shot and killed beer and real estate magnate Otto Koehler on November 12, 1914. The question remained: Why? The deceased was one of the wealthiest and most respected persons in the Southwest and a pillar of the community. As a result, his murder and trial drew national attention. Soon, the entire affair was one of the most famous murder cases ever tried in Bexar County—a part of Texas known to have some notorious characters. Now, for the first time ever, MONEY, MURDER, SEX, AND BEER presents testimony from the trial, legal analysis, and other information that allows the readers to draw their own conclusions regarding the guilt or innocence of the alleged murderer. What makes the story unique is the efforts of officials in San Antonio and friends of Otto Koehler—the victim—to subvert the judicial process to avoid having the case go to trial. For a dead man with a recently spurned mistress, who could predict what secrets might come to light on the witness stand?
