Roger Snell won top investigative reporting awards throughout his newspaper career, including the Pulitzer Prize and Silver Gavel. His latest book, "Love, Grandpa," reports on his near-death experience in April 2017 and is dedicated to his 2-year-old granddaughter. The Christian non-fiction memoir describes how the journalist who wrote more than 3,000 stories in his career was given what appeared to be his last assignment, recording heaven-sent messages. The book opens with a punch, the sudden death of his grandson and faithful fight through grief of his daughter and son-in-law. But what follows is light, humor, and inspiration about digging up dirt as a reporter and then finding the best in people as a bishop. He learned to see the world differently and so will you, especially with his firm eyewitness accounts that heaven is real. "I spent my life trying to change the world. Instead, this wonderful world changed me," Snell writes. His first book was also non-fiction about Charlie Root and the 1929 Chicago Cubs. The story began with a front porch interview with neighbor Berly "Trader" Horne who lived five doors away in Arcanum, Ohio. Horne won only one game in his major league career, as a 30-year-old rookie on this 1929 team -- a personal Moonlight Graham for the author. Snell greatly expanded his research and turned a baseball story into a love story when he found Root's 90-year-old daughter and the lively behind-the-scenes details of life with the Cubs' all-time leader in wins and innings pitched.
