	Collection 514 - Wheaton College Revivals. T21 Transcript
		ENGEL: I was born in 1962, and raised in a family that was religious, but not necessarily walking with Christ in a personal way.
		ENGEL: I was talking with [the WCF president] a little bit about this off to the side of the stage, but also at the end of one of the front pews Dr. Tim Beougher and Dr. Lyle Dorsett, and Chaplain Steve Kellough was also there (well, he was sitting in the back), and Dennis Massaro.
		ENGEL: Yes, and he also prayed that churches would be turned upside down as students went back to their home churches, or into churches around the Wheaton community.

	Engel's 'Memory Book' is a book to remember \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		In this latest installment of Howard Engel's long-running series starring Benny Cooperman, the softboiled Canadian private eye wakes up in a Toronto hospital unable, due to a severe head injury, to remember how he got there.
		What is surprising is that Engel has produced a novel at all, since he suffers from the same trauma that afflicts his protagonist, the result of a stroke five years ago.
		Engel's decision to accept the challenge posed by his disability – and to succeed splendidly – makes him a hero to writers (and readers as well) everywhere.

		When Dr. John Davidson Horner, the chief of staff at Toronto's Rose of Sharon Hospital, disappears, Benny Cooperman is brought into the case by his brother Sam, a surgeon at the hospital, who feels he might be implicated in a yet-to-be-published memoir Horner has written that exposes the sins of a number of staff.

		Engel has drawn the foundation of his storyline from the expatriate movement that flourished in early 20th century Paris.
		Gertrude Stein and her companion, Alice B. Toklas, appear as themselves, with Gertrude being the epicenter of both the literary and art worlds of the day; and the parade of names from those historic gatherings in Paris represents the collective genius of both.
		That aside, Engel has fashioned a fascinating portrait of the human character in a gilded frame of literary history that makes this novel well worth reading.
