You are the first to hear about the release of our latest book, now titled A Journey Home: The Inner Turmoil of a Mennonite Hero.

The book was just recently released by Wipf and Stock Publishing. It is available in all of the usual bookstores, of course including Wipf and Stock and Amazon.

Here’s a quick summary:

“an adventure saga…a love story
…and the intimate confessions of a Mennonite hero”

Best-selling author, Arthur C. Brooks, said we all have three possible responses to the decline that inevitably happens with age: a) Rage against the decline, b) give up and give in to the decline, or c) accept that what got us here won’t work in the future and develop new strengths.

A challenge, yes, but also what an opportunity!

In the face of intractable opposition, Mennonite hero and medical pioneer, Dr. John Schmidt, tackles the seemingly impossible with dogged perseverance – layered over a gnawing yet unexplored sense of his own worthlessness – until he faces the inevitability of his physical decline. Only then, amidst the pain and humiliation of apparent defeat, does he confront his underlying fears and self-loathing, thereby discovering the balm of acceptance and self-forgiveness.

Dr. John’s inner journey is a universal path of transformation available to all of us if we have the courage to begin peeling off the layers of our hidden fears and open to new meaning in our lives.
Join him on this deeply personal and spiritual quest for peace in A JOURNEY HOME [April 2023].
