Spirituality of the Cross by Gene Veith.  This is available in eBook.

Life in a Jar tells the true WWII-era story of a Polish Catholic social worker who organized her fellow workers to save thousands of Jewish children, "talking mothers out of their children."

God's Smuggler is a classic true-life tale of smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.  Brother Andrew's famous prayer at the border was "Lord, make seeing eyes blind," carrying Bibles in his Volkswagon Beetle.

Humor on the Way to Heaven has a youtube video to tell its story, here.  The book is written from the experience of caregiving at life's end, shining a light on the humor that can be found even in the midst of grief.
